I've just finished acting in a production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, for which I also was musical director. Done large scale, in an outdoor setting, the adaptation was given a Steampunk theme. Among the programs I used to create the soundtrack was Band in a Box/Realband.

Here is a version of one of the songs from the play. This version was played as part of an intermission 'revisit' of all the songs from the first act.

Phil,

Totally loved it! You have a terrific voice for live stage. Had the perfect feel for the era and setting you described. Really great song and production. Best to you,

Alan & Di

Phil

Excellent production very enjoyable - nice folk rock feel.

Peter

So lovely! This is completely perfect for an outdoor setting! Our Shakespeare festival is actually happening right now and they're putting on an outdoor production of two different plays. They slowly go through all of the plays one by one before cycling through them again. They always do such a good job! With songs like this being made for their shows, I can see why they're so popular!

Hello

Very nice song, with a lot of feeling.
Excellent real tracks choice and great guitar.

Sergio

Absolutely enjoyable.

Really loved the way the guitar break in the middle gave a subtle new dimension.

Everything in this song works so well.

Great. I really enjoyed this. The production, vocals etc are fabulous. What a great addition to a Shakespeare play.

Well done! Thanks for sharing.

J&B

Well done, Phil. Good recording, vocal and mix.

Thanks for sharing, Phil - The vocal delivery on this is probably what stands out most for me. The vocals really grab you and almost force you to pay attention. The mix is also superbly done, it sounds really professional! Great job on this

Ahhh a love song about death
Very pretty ballad, nice work on the lyrics.
Your voice is perfect for this genre.
Rob

Hey...just back from a couple of gigs away from home to see all these great comments. A massive thank you for all those kind enough to listen and respond.
Best wishes all.
Phil

Excellent!

A super professional use of BIAB for production.

A great mix too. Well done!

Phil,

This is a very cool song and very well sung too!
One small nit: the vocals could use slightly more Reverb, and should probably be also slightly less loud in the mix, but that's just my opinion ;-)

Rob

Yes, this is so well done!! Great vocals, very nice arrangement. Everything works great!! Take care. Greg

Nice!

I agree with Rob - I'd have like to have had a less dry vocal.

Super vocal. Love this style vocal. Guitar was excellent...
