That is a beautiful composition and we completely agree with the sentiment.
And the video imagery is very nice.

Lovely work and we enjoyed it!

Ah, the planet will be alright --with or without us. But music this good helps us all appreciate the beauty along the way. Man, you instill so much passion in this, Jani. The video is extraordinary. You have a knack --no, a gift for creating such moving pieces. There is so much godness in this that mentioning each part would fill this forum with accolades so long that there wouldn;t be any room left to simply say that this is way-over-the-top extraordinary. Outstanding compostion and production.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Jani, this is a fantastic work from beginning to end. Your composition, the video, everything.

I agree with Marty that the planet will be just fine with or without us; it has seen ice-cap-free hot houses before. But will the path we're on be survivable for future generations? I think not. I was thinking about this the other day; the planet will be just fine if it burst into a trillion-trillion unconnected chucks of matter.

How can any thinking person deny the science that says we are in the anthropocene?

Brittle indeed, job well done.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Nice song, well mixed, and a great video to watch.
I agree with Marty: our planet was doing quite well long before we showed up, and it will be fine long after we're gone.
We are just a temporary nuisance.

Hi MarioD,

Thank you for your appreciation. I am now trying to combine image with sound. It's difficult for me because the music in my soundtracks is not always easy to illustrate in terms of images. Thanks again to you

Hi blueAttitude,

Thank you very much for commenting and especially for your appreciation. I spent a lot of time finding video clips that could fit in with the slow pace of my composition (85 Bpm). Compared to these video clips, I modify them with special effects, which is not obvious. Thanks again to you..

Amazingly beautiful ode to the most beautiful thing in the universe I'm aware of. The arrangement is very lush and smooth, I enjoyed all flutes, choir, strings and the guitars, great work to make them work together in harmony, just like we should to keep the planet blue and green, it is our only garden. And the soundtrack fits perfectly with the video, excellent work to make those animal and camera movements to reflect the tempo of the song.

Hi jannesan,

Thank you for your comment and your appreciation. Usually the music fits the video. Here it's the opposite, I built the video from my soundtrack, which is more difficult. Thanks again.

very cinematic compositions. Some very beautiful sounding instruments. Good mix & important message. The only constructive item I can think of is that choir came in a bit to sudden. Pretty video. Thank you for sharing.

Hello Jani,

I can agree with all others here; a beautiful song, wonderful composition and very creative use of the instruments involved.
I liked that break somewhere in the middle with that guitar!
Without words, music can say a lot. And images even more..
Very well done,

Hans

Hi Birchwood,

I'm happy to read you. I now try to illustrate each of my compositions with a video because soundtracks are perhaps less captivating than songs where the narrative describes emotions. Thank you very much for your comment..

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."
