[Link no longer valid] Hi friends, Hot off the presses is a new one by SGC! Like many of its predecessors on my SoundCloud channel, Tune 8 is built around a sax riff I came up with while practicing. This is my eighth production with PG Music software. All tracks are RealTracks and RealDrums with the exception of my flute and tenor sax tracks. Thanks to Michael White, Alex Al, Michael Thompson, Dwight Sills, and Jeff Lorber for their amazing playing! I also tried something interesting on this one- 'brass' harmony parts generated from the melody by the TC Helicon harmonizer. They were subtly mixed in with the real horns for a nice effect. The Basic style was JFMOVIN (Jazz Funk Movin'). The 10-band EQ, and PG Reverb were used on most tracks, with Chorus/Echo on the solo guitar and the horns. PG Dynamics Compressor was used for the solo guitar and piano. I used two outside plugins- EasyQ parametric equalizer, and Sanford Delay on the solo sax. Other than BIAB/RB, Audacity was used for a dash of post-mix editing (crop, Amplify, bass boost for Soundcloud). As always, thanks very much for listening and please enjoy! If you dig it, please leave a like, and consider following me at SoundCloud. Please note that SoundCloud forced me to change my URL from 'spontaneousgroovincombustion' to 'spontaneousgrvncombustion.' So, unfortunately, all of my previous posts now contain dead links. Just remember 'grvn' instead of 'groovin'- https://soundcloud.com/spontaneousgrvncombustion.

Great combination of Band-in-a-Box and live performances.
Definitely getting flashbacks to 80's/ early 90's theme music.
Really enjoyed it, it's super fun.

Well done Warren Keller! Very smooth piece and the arrangement is quite soothing! Love that walking bassline and guitar noodling around 2 minutes. Solid mixdown of all the instruments too. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Joe

Hi Warren,
Terrific composition! Everything where should be and doing its job perfectly. Loved the percussions and bass line. But your sax was spot on! Totally loved it in every way. Best to you.

You folks are awesome. It's one of the reasons I keep putting it out there! So difficult to get heard today- Facebook, etc. totally ineffectual. So nice to have a home here at the PG Forum to share it with like-minded and generous people. If you have some time, please give Tune 7 a spin too. Posted around the 4th, it got missed by most. Appreciate you!

Nice! The sax and flutes in the beginning gives is a real '70s feel. It felt like the some of the RTs were running a tad bit faster than their optimal speed, but perhaps that's because I tend to listen to slow music. Naming the compositions would help them get a wee bit more attention. When I see someone post something like "Song #3", I can't help but wonder why someone expects to get a response to a song they didn't even bother to name. (Yeah, that's projection on my part). Plus, BiaB has a function for auto-generating song names if you're really stuck.

This did sound like a 70s tv theme, and would not have been out of place either.

Warren, although the RTs were a nice touch it was your playing that took it over the top for me.
Super chops!

dcuny, Thanks for your comment. Here's my answer. Please don't take the lack of titles as being dispassionate. It's actually quite the opposite. I haven't named them because I can't bring myself to do it yet. This may be hard to understand. My musical life had been all about words since I began songwriting at 16. As a Nashville songwriter in the 90s, and with rock beforehand, it had been about words, lyrics, storytelling, and hooks. While I always liked some elements of Jazz, I wasn't head over heels for it until 3 years ago, and that's partly because the music I loved always had great lyrical elements to it. My musical expression is quite the opposite now. I feel that I've said everything I wanted to say with words, and now much prefer to express myself instrumentally. The tracks are very important to me and I feel that giving them the wrong name or a throwaway title will somehow negate them. I don't know how most jazzers come up with their titles. It's hard for me to commit to an arbitrary name that doesn't have a strong connection to the tune, as again, particularly with Nashville songcraft, every word mattered. I suspect that at some point I'm just going to have to name them but I dread it. By the way, I'd be extremely open to and grateful for good suggestions when something strikes any of you! Thanks again.

Warren, loved what you did with this track… I liked your concept of using a simple riff as the melodic basis. The brass harmonies were outstanding, and your personal playing was spot-on. Looking forward to hearing more of this high quality work!

What a tune! The first thought I had listening was how well put together it sounds. Every instrument compliments the other ones, and it all flows so nicely. It has flow like no other, partly due to that great groove in it. It almost reminds me of certain work by Bob James. You should be proud of this one - thanks so much for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Tano, I passed by Charlotte NC tonight. Thanks for your super kind words! Deryk, I'm very flattered- thanks so much for your kind support. I just listened to some Fourplay. I was unfamiliar with Bob James! He's definitely got a similar groove to Jeff Lorber who is of course behind the RealTrack. I feel like I'm hitting a creative stride, and it's fueled by folks like all of you taking the time to listen and send good vibes my way. Much appreciated! As always, if there's anyone out there who's interested in collaboration or taking something on the road, I'm all ears. Check the last one too, it's in this vein, and I think really cool as well- https://soundcloud.com/spontaneousgrvncombustion/tune-7

Really enjoyed this, Warren. The mix between "live" and "real" is excellent and comes across as a unified project. Had my head boppin' the whole time.
Regarding the title, it sort of reminds me of Chris Rice's "Untitled Hymn", for which he did pretty well on the Contemporary Christian charts.

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."
