A Dream Come True For This Band-in-a-Box User - 05/21/15 07:55 PM
Einar Olsen shares his Band-in-a-Box story with us:
2 days ago – a dream came true, that I couldn't done without Band-in-a- Box:
THANKS PETER GANNON AND ALL OF YOU AT PG MUSIC!
I live in a small and beautiful village in Suldal/Norway – as an old musician, i'm addicted to create music but with a long way to travel to find a real band and pro musicians, I've been using BiaB for years writing new songs.
Almost 3 years ago an idea was born: telling 100 years of local history of common man, using the american blues genre/folk music and the Norwegian language Nynorsk.
I'm not from this part of Norway, so I had to collaborate with someone – someone with local knowledge and writing skills – and not at least a voice that could carry a tone. I found that man, and we ended up with 12 new lyrics and songs for a show. Receiving great feedback on the songs, we started dreaming of recording an album – but how to make it – how to finance it?
Well, I have some guitars, an old Mac Pro and BiaB!
The RealTracks in BiaB are so musically well done that I started the pre-production. The pre-productions actually sounded so good that I decided to use BiaB-tracks, tweak them and do the rest of the playing myself.
Could this end up as a "professional album"? My local collaborator on main vocal and I started believing, and…
…and 2 days ago the final result was released worldwide:
Blå tonar frå Suldal
THANKS for making a great software and putting effort in the glory of music, so this album could be made!
Best regards
