Sirens

fly without wings
wound without claws
song of the sirens
has broken my cause

lashed to the mast
speaking in tongues
tangled in wishes
my will undone

Calliope Terpsichore
maidens of Persephone
cut the rope evermore
to live with you under the sea
Odysseus dies
shipwrecked on a sigh

sing with your eyes
I`ll breathe by your touch
drowning men know this
my ecstasy judge


Calliope Terpsichore
maidens of Persephone
cut the rope evermore
to live with you under the sea
Odysseus dies
shipwrecked on a sigh

Robert and Scott,

You've done a great job with this one. The composing, the arrangement and the performances all work in concert to create a very atmospheric piece of music.

Robert, your singing is excellent and you sound really, really comfortable with this.

Scott, as always, your guitar playing shines.

All the best,
Noel

Robert and Scott I agree with everything that has been said.

Super intro, great backing tracks, super guitar chops and tone and one outstanding vocal.

Two thumbs up.

Very nice collaboration. I love it! From the short time I've been listening here I'm finding that the collabs seem to be the most fun and talent driven. Getting those brains together!

Of all of the songs in the world, the WHOLE world, that use "Calliope Terpsichore" this one is my favorite! Seriously, those are some amazing lyrics to have to write and put a melody to. Well done!

Cool song in my book! Thanks for sharing it.

Wow - what a tune! I really liked the general sound of this one. It's got an excellent groove and guitar work, and excellent vocals that match it perfectly. It has a haunting feeling to, and I loved how at the chords it picks up in energy. The whole thing is interesting the entire way through, and really drew me in.

You nailed it - thanks for sharing smile

Robert & Scott,

Wonderful job on this. Such interesting music in all regards.

Some of the lyric references are outside my knowledge scope, but still interesting. Nice vocals

Scott - your guitar work on this is excellent. Very musical.

Nice use of loops. And nice mix.

Really enjoyed listening to this...

Thank you, Noel.
Atmosphere was the aim, so I`m glad you enjoyed that!
Prior to BiaB I hadn`t sung rock songs outside the living rooms of friends back in the day- I think about those times sometimes when loosening up for these songs.
Scott always seems to understand the feel I`m asking him to interpret on guitar - his parts were so easy to fit into the song.

Robert .

Thanks Joe. Robert had some cool chord changes in the backtrack and allowed me to do some different things with the guitar melodies

Torrey,
Thank you! I used the Ozone Imager with a delay on the chorus- glad you liked the result.

Having already written the verses, I thought what about singing the lovely creatures names on the chorus. A quick search turned up such gems as Thelxiepia & Aglaopheme...believe me, I chose the easy ones!
Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.

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.

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."
