Hm, interesting indeed. BTW, what drums did you used? They're very good sounding.
Mike B. Mike, the drums were generated by BiaB with Addictive Drums 2 - preset Funk-Bone Funk. Secret sauce = Waves - CLA drum effects. I use the CLA effects on all of my drum tracks. I find that they bring them alive. YMMV
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

The groove is infectious. Also great playing y'all (as usual) and the mix is spot on...especially when cranked up.  Enjoyed it and the cool title! J&B Thanx J&B. I am a little surprised by the number of forum members that like this. I was expecting a lot fewer comments. I am not complaining though.

Very different! And very cool.
Love that groove! Thanx Dave.

Mysterious soundtrack instrumental, something strange is going to happen I like the groove, organ and guitar sound great. Janne This was strange. It was a little harder to come up with a lead line with all of those Dim7 and AUG chords. You can blame BiaB for the groove. Thanx for the guitar and B3 comments.

Nicely done, Mario!
Not Rock & Roll, but very cleverly put together.
It's good to hear stuff like this from time to time, to make us think
about what's possible.
Cheers, ROG. Rog, as you well know that with BiaB and some imagination one can come up with just about anything.

As usual, unique and interesting work to explore the less-travelled roads.
I'm not sure you can create a "crowd pleasing' work that relies so heavily on diminished changes, as you've done...but that isn't the point.
Your exploration reveals lots of different ways that this special chord can be used to advantage..and I think you two gave the 'dim' chords everything you could in this!
Looking forward to what musical curiosities you decide to attack next! Thanx. It was hard to come up with a lead for this one. Sometimes those 'dim' chords were called those 'damn' chords will working on this!

Mario,
That was a very interesting excursion into musical texture! Very inventive. The composing, the mix, the instrumental work was all well done... but then isn't it always!
Thanks for sharing. I've never heard anything quite like this before and you gave me a lot of food for thought!
All the best,
Noel Well sometimes the mix, composing and instrumental work isn't so well done. As most people I have my ups and downs. As I mentioned with BiaB and a little imagination one can come up with just about anything.

Midi Drums sound good, Midi bass sounds good.
Instruments sound Brilliant, I think in a lot of the song postings on this forum.
A lot of folk forget, just how talented the posters are who play and add to their own songs.
Not only do they have to write the piece,Arrange , mix and master it.
They perform as well.
Enjoyed this. Thanks. I'm not necessarily all that talented. I just love to play. Plus sometimes I do have a very warped sense of humor. Thanx for the comments.

Mario,
I like the way you and JonD play off each other - a couple of guys jamming with undiminished enjoyment of their music, is the feeling I get.
Nice groove!
Robert Robert, you just gave away our secret; we are just a couple of guys jamming away and yes we both enjoy it. Thanx for listening and comments.

Hello, Mario
Very unique chord progression!
I feel a thrill because I do not know where you will take me.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Nice one Mario. When I click to play your latest song it never fails to take me by surprise! This one is intriguing and a great exploration of the dusty reaches! Off to listen again; I'm sure I missed a lot first time around.

Well, you and Jon certainly did not diminish the quality of the song by stripping out BIAB Style parts. The originality of each of your parts certainly augmented to the overall arrangement and performance. Enjoyed this a lot.
The opening bars reminded me a bit of Player's "Baby Come Back"

Mario, Interesting tune. Always wonder how you and JonD get going with your tunes, do you jam as if live or get the rhythm going and then you do your bits?  Whatever ... an interesting piece. I like it a lot as I like dim and aug chords myself. Alyn

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."
