I was watching a documentary on an extraordinary guitar player from the late 60's he talked about music being full of colors and textures. Some of the recreational tools of the day probably helped that along as well. :-)

So it planted a question in my head

Can Sound be a Color

No intro. 60 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 60. Repeat x1 chorus
No Melody
No Soloist track.
Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0,
Song is saved with bar changes for Tempo , Time signature,RealDrums Changes,
Style is _BEATBOX.STY (Beatbox Hip Hop)

RealTracks in style: ~2474:Bass, Acoustic, Held Ev 085
RealTracks in style: 1943:Synth, Rhythm, EuroDance Strings Ev 120
RealTracks in style: ~2267:Synth, BellPad, Rhythm 80sPopPads Ev 085
Loop in Song: Other\Human Beatbox - beatbox_lightbuzz80a ev16.wav
RealDrums in style: UrbanPopEv8GoodGirl^1-a:Kck1, b:Clap


Guitar Les Paul Custom
Amp Purdy
Pedals MaxonOD808, Flashback Delay, Boss CS-2

Hi Scott,

There's a real nice ambience to this song. And the melody you wrote is such danged pretty! Who, besides you of course, might have thought to use a Hip Hop backing track for an ambient piece this pretty?

The tone and effects you used on your guitar are superb. Everything about this is a jhoy to listen to. Excellent song and performance. We totally enjoyed it.

great sound Scott

I must've seen that doc at some point

that sounds so familiar, like the chord D is blue in color, etc.

like your guitar sound and what you're doing melody-wise

great Scott! sound

the tempo goes up and down

or did I get a 60's high just listening?

That was really pretty. Liked the tempo changes and your "signature" guitar sound (and the use of delay).
Nicely done.

this is perfect, and the bellpad is the choice for such atmospheric things.
The tempo change came as a surprise.

Cool!

Nice, Scott.

The backing works great for this - a good "bed" for your guitar. Supportive and never "in the way" of your playing.

A good listen throughout.

Thanks so much for the awesome comments. I got a kick out of the hiphop loop when I added it to the chord structure. This is pretty cool software .Glad you liked it

Thanks Kenney for checking out the song. I got a real chuckle out of you comments on the tempo. I have been experimenting with some of the setting in the software with the holds and tempo changes to try and make the song more interesting. If I can remember anything clearly from the 60's the tempo changes and colors observed might not have been in the actual music :-)

Hey man, this is far out Scott, it's cool, and I can dig it, man.

Fly on little wing.

The ghost of Jimi was just sitting here in my studio helping me mix something and I asked him if sound can be a color.

He blew out a bunch of cigarette smoke under his fedora.

And said:

"Yeah, man tell Scott I already told him it was purple. Kind of like a haze. Dig it man, he already knows that."

But anyway, I really liked this!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely beautiful! I imagined a lovely lilac colour and rain. It was oddly soothing and had me swaying in my seat. I wasn't expecting it to pick up, but I was glad it did. Nice flashes of magenta sprang in to view when that happened. A+!

I will have to look in to this documentary! Though here's something cool you may not have known: there is a condition called synesthesia that basically causes the senses to overlap. So people can see colours or taste different flavours when they hear sounds, or another example — specific colours have flavours! It's a rather fascinating condition that many actually consider a gift. It inspires lots of people to become musicians and artists all around the world.

Thanks for sharing!

Well given the number of light shows I saw in the 60's I'd say YES.

Lot of things to like here...as always your playing and tone and as already mentioned the tempo changes brought a lot to it.

Steve used the word "tasteful" and that can always be applied to your productions. We'll throw in "classy" also.

Enjoyed the spins!

Hi Scott!

One of the things I do when I listen to songs here on the showcase is to see if they are easily pigeon-holed into a genre. This is one that doesn't fit neatly into any of my pre-conceived groups. That basically means I see it as being original.

Having said that, I'd have to add that (in my opinion) instrumentals are among the hardest kind of song to write. They typically end up sounding more like a jam session because they lack a true melody. You dodged that bullet by playing a melodic line on your guitar.

But I still can't squish the song into a cubbyhole. If you had to assign it to a genre... what would you say? And why whould you pick that genre over another? Enquiring minds want to know...

Hello, Scott

The melody of the beginning repeated many times is very beautiful.
Your guitar tone and play are very tasteful as usual.
The tempo change that comes as a surprise is very cool.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Thanks Ember for checking out the song. That's interesting your comments in the synethesia condition I think Jimi's condition came from the ingredients in the sugar cube or blotter paper he had ingested. :-) . I when I play when everything is set right the music to me has a shape When I try to describe it the notes feel 3 dimensional and round Not flat with an edge to it

Thanks Janice and Bud for checking our the song. Yes the garage bands from my high school days had huge arrays of different colored flood lights all switching off and on to the tempo of the music. Took the music to different levels. volume helped allot too. :-)

Hi Pat thanks so much for checking out the song. I do enjoy reading your posts on the songs on the forum. You have a very cool insight regarding the songs you comment on.

A few years ago I had posted a song called Winters Chill and was very nervous as to how it was going to be received. The music I purchase and listen to is not very close to the music I create. When I start a song I have no idea what is going to be when finished. After I had finished a few songs I came up with the conclusion that my music was "Elevator music". Floyd very kindly commented that he did not think it was Elevator music more like chilling music. One forum member say it was New Age Music. I did not know what that was and had to look it up.

I think it maybe my love for pretty much all genres of music is where some of my melodies come from and how the genre lines get blurred. After the back track is finished following the rhythm of the drums and the bass lines they seem to pop out.

Scott,

I'd have to agree with Floyd's description of your music. My idea of "elevator music" is cheesy MIDI renditions of well known cover songs, which doesn't describe your music at all. NEW AGE is probably closer to what you do, but it tends to be more synthetic and orchestral than the songs you create.

If there isn't already a genre called CHILLIN' then there needs to be.

Yes the 60's were a very special time for culture, experimentation and music. Yes as I remember there were quite a few spiritual enhancements available :-). Thanks so much for checking out the song I really appreciate it...

I really enjoyed this song, Scott smile I particularly love how rather than deciding on a predictable drum pattern, you chose something more counter-intuitive. It definitely helps it stand out! And of course, the guitar work on this is absolutely amazing! The tempo changes draw you in as well - all in all, a great write and great tune! Thanks for sharing smile

Thank you Derek. Being able to experiment with instruments and music styles has allowed me to try and make my music more interesting. It just amazes me how I can just pick at instrument and drop it into the song and it just fits. No hassle at all. Kudos to you and the rest of the BIAB team. Glad you like the song

Scott,

I first listened to this around a week ago and found myself sitting here thinking "very soothing, beautiful musical phrasing, love that guitar tone". You've really created an outstanding instrumental with this work.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

All the best,
Noel.

P.S. You probably already know this but just in case you don't... the musical word "chromatic" was derived from Latin "chrōmaticus" or Greek "χρωματικός" and translates as "pertaining to colour".

So very well constructed. It has a solid feel of being a composition. (If that makes any sense). The tempo and style changes reinforce the deliberateness of the structure.

Wonderful piece of music.

I'm hearing something in the mauve spectrum.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
