You are sitting on a beach listening to the waves and daydreaming about your lover.

This is just a quick and dirty little ditty that JonD and I played.

BiaB style = New Age Alberti Piano & Strings. I deleted everything but the strings (violins & violas).

JonD is playing the arpeggios via his keyboard controller.

I am playing the cellos and double bass via my keyboard controller and the guitar.

We hope you like it for what it is.

Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.

This song really came together, and I think you guys did a really fun job on this one. I especially like the way the cellos sounded.

Thanks for sharing.

Great work on this MarioD! I found the overall tone of this to be very pleasing and calming. Fantastic choice of instrumentation. Definitely goes through a twist of emotions throughout this. Great use of SFX too, the water ambiance is very soothing! smile

Really calming, nice chords and I like especially the low instruments, hearing water-like sounds has a nice cooling effect for these hot summer days.

Wow - does this tune ever fit the title perfectly smile What a gorgeous peace of music! Reminds me of old Brian Eno tunes. Very peaceful and easy on the ears, which is never a bad thing.

Really well done - thanks for sharing!

Hi Mario,

I've said this before, but I'll say it again -

You should really be writing film scores!

Wonderfully atmospheric as ever, painting pictures as the music unfolds.

Super.

Hello, Mario

Very relaxing!
I entirely agree with Janne.
Really calming, nice chords and I like especially the low instruments, hearing water-like sounds has a nice cooling effect for these hot summer days.
It is extremely hot in Japan now.
The song is a summer evening material.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Mario, very nice tune, relaxing and evocative. I like this kind of music because it is interpreted in a different ways by different people. Very good job.

Thanx Eric, we were going for a relaxing sound.

Deryk - thanx for the very nic Brian Eno comment!

Thanx Dave for the comments. They are greatly appreciated.

Thanx Greg and yes I am vintage (that means old right :-})

Shigeki, thanx. It is very hot here also but I have read in the paper where Japan is extremely hot. Stay in air-conditioned buildings.

Thanx Peter.

"Quick and dirty" sounds like a pro level production to us.

As we said at SC "classy and cinematic."

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."

Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!

Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:

Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
