Hi, friends !:)) I wrote this tune as I wanted to see if I still could get a sound out of me that in some diminutive way would resemble surf music. As I did it I came to realize that my gear is not sophisticated enough to get the smooth sound on the vocals that I wanted so, I just have to keep experimenting ! The Style used is BeachCar.STY, a style that I think I have used sometimes before, but maybe not with the same instruments all through. The instros here are: Bass:34, Elecpiano:6, Drums: RD:S country shuffle, Guitar: 26 VoiceOohs: GM2 54/1, Strings:51, Strings 2: 1641 Synth Pad Recorded with mixcraft 7 pro on my laptop. Compressor and Reverb used.Here are the links: http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/surf-is-on-the-risehttp://app.box.com/s/f00x4wlbh2n1hntprptmdk6xhw85bzl2...and the lyrics: SURF IS ON THE RISE (MUSIC AND LYRICS BY NORMAN WIBE) Grab your board and get up on board, now let´s take my ford today surf is on the rise, guys let´s go where the skies meet the sea at your feet as the tidal waves are breaking on the bay Won´t be long, til we surf along, throwin´our troubles away let us find ourselves right there, where all the waves are high enough it´s gonna be so tough as they wildly break upon us all the way Can you hear, the mighty sound, taste the salty air feel the water cooling you both high and low, from top til toe nothing though will slow you on the go, so Grab your board and get up on board, now let´s take my ford today surf is on the rise, guys let´s go where the skies meet the sea at your feet as the tidal waves are breaking on the bay Can you hear, the mighty sound, taste the salty air feel the water cooling you both high and low, from top til toe nothing though will slow you on the go, so nothing though will slow you on the go ! Cheers Dani

Nice surf feel (the harmonies make it) - impressive use of layered vocals - well done.

Hello, Dani
Great vocals and harmonies as usual.
You are still to surfmaster, as Rob & Anne-Marie said.
I wonder if it is related to the climate of Helsinki that you do love surf music so much.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Other than Brian Wilson, nobody can nail those surf classics like you Dani!! It's like taking a 3 minute vacation to listen to this cool surf song. Beautiful harmonies-again, you and Brian are the masters! Very cool!! Take care. Greg

Hi Dani.
Classic Surfing sound right from to first bar and it just gets better and better as it progresses. Excellent groove going on and super vocals and BVs.
Loved it.

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."
