Well done.

David,

This is one of the most enjoyable experimental pieces of music I've heard. You've shown us all that 3/4 Realtracks can work in 4/4 and that swing and even tempos don't have to fight one another.

This composition is created with flair and mixed with a ton of musicianship. I get the impression that you're a guy who really knows what he's doing when it comes to music.

Excellent, fun, totally enjoyable!

Regards,
Noel

David,

I like the piece, and that cartoon is fantastic. Is that a mellotron in the piece?

Thanks Rob! smile

I like the video idea.

I'm actually looking for someone who can do video or animation who might be interested in doing a video to promote the Shelter Cats cause.

Well that certainly drew my attention, what an excellent mix of RTs!
You have used the mix of 3/4, 4/4, swing and even in a totally different way to how I sometimes use that mix and BOY does this work!!

I am in the UK and my 2 rescue cats have just died, both 18 years old.
One was "special needs" and it took patience to get her to do stuff like using the cat flap etc. But she had a "Groucho Marx" moustache when a kitten so that sealed her life with us! laugh
Her mate was a complete pain in the butt and lived for 3 years with no ears due to cancer, but she could almost talk!
so I enjoyed the cartoon a lot.
My garden is full of birds now they are gone, funny that grin

great track

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
