I was wondering how fast I could make a 3/4 tempo with BIAB...so this track varies the speed from 300bpm all the way up to 500bpm, with a 'breather' in the middle at 150. Interesting exercise..

Excellent production , has just the right speeds!!!
Interesting experiment. Love to see a live band of humans try to do that! smile

Cool.

J&B
Wow - what an interesting and wonderfully bizarre tune! I'm almost getting a Frank Zappa/Captain Beefheart sort of vibe here. It is unorthodox, dizzying, but also somehow infectious and catchy too. I really enjoy how unpredictable and strange it sounds.

Great work here, Tano - thanks for sharing smile
This sounded like such a fun experiment! It was really going pretty fast at times. I definitely sounds like you had fun with it!
Clifton, J&B, Deryk, Ember...thanks for listening!!

Yep - some pretty fast-moving fingers!!!

I enjoyed your experiment. Nicely done. I really enjoyed the 150 breather. But the rest was, indeed, interesting. Nothing like a good experiment! Nicely done!

Since I am a big fan of Zappa and a Beefheart I caught the same vibe. But I also heard some John Coltrane and Jimmy Smith in there.

Excellent work here. It just amazes me what a good musician and BiaB can do together.
Thanks Mario...I’ve always liked Zappa, and don’t know Beefheart at all, but my inspiration on this was Hermeto Pascual, who you could probably say is the Brazilian Frank Zappa. Thanks for listening!
Very cool tune! Enjoyed! Take care. Greg
Hello, Tom

I feel Tango much in this tune.
It may be due to the chord progression.
Very unique but beautiful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
