Hi all ! Here's a bluesy french song with surreal lyrics ! Christian https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/objectif-oasisRD BossaRockPerc^8 RT 572 Acoustic Bass RT 2024 Piano RT 2677 Acoustic Guitar RT 2679 Electric Guitar RT 577 Resonator Guitar RT 578 Harmonica RT 1876 Mandolin RT 2687 Solo Electric Guitar RT 2336 Viola 1) Cramponné sur mon dromadaire, j'arpente les trottoirs de la ville. Traverser le désert, c'est jamais sans péril. Objectif oasis ! 2) Attiré par la belle chamelle d'une princesse assise en terrasse, mon dromadaire m'appelle, m'invite à prendre place. Objectif oasis ! 3) Mon dromadaire se rince la dalle. Alors, bien sûr, je l'accompagne. La fille se fait la malle, on commande du champagne. Objectif oasis ! Here's a translation : 1) Riding on my dromedary I go on the sidewalks of the town. To cross the desert, It's never without danger. Oasis is our target ! 2) Attracted by a nice she-camel with a princess sitting outside a street café, my dromedary calls me, invites me to take a seat. Oasis is our target ! 3) My dromedary is drinking. So, of course,I do the same. The girl goes away, We order champagne. Oasis is our target !

Hi Chris37, Fantastic choice of instrumentation. The different elements really glue well together and a solid key signature choice too. Love the harmonica track in this too, adds a fun western feel to this. Great work!
Cheers,
Joe

The nice thing about music is that you do not have to understand a word of it to know a good song when you hear it. That is the case here for me. This is a great blues song. You should be very proud of this one.
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.

I agree with Mario. Music the universal translator. Awesome tune. Loved the feel of the backtrack...

Nice work on this one! I love the instrumentation, and your voice compliments it perfectly. I really like the bluesy feel to it, and I find it remarkable that even though I can't understand what you're saying, you can still feel the music. Thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

I've been waiting for someone to write a tribute song to a dromedary!! Please give us the back-story: what prompted these camel-thoughts?
As usual, your style/production, etc. is first-class, and your ideas always interesting to me. I'm very partial to the french touch in music, so this definitely pleases!
I found your choice of RT's to be totally 'transparent', meaning that the style and all the instrumental pieces totally supported your overall work without being distractive, and that is a sign of good judgement and smart arranging.
Thanks, Christian, and give your camel a hug from me!

Thanks Joe, Mario, Scott, Deryk and Tom !
The choice of the dromedary was quite obvious for me.
When you are alone, you feel like in a desert and that's a place where you can meet dromedaries. So, I've invented this travel companion. And in the desert, you need to drink ! So, it was necessary to find an oasis......Christian

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."
