So, I'm picturing myself on a lounge on a white sand beach. The sky is deep blue, the water aquamarine. The sun is bright and warm, but I'm under an umbrella, and a soft breeze is blowing. I have an icy beverage in hand. There might be a slice of fruit in it.

Nice tune! Very cohesively arranged and mixed. Great listen!

Laurent, you nailed the genre.
This sounds exactly like the music I heard when I was in the Caribbean.
Great use of RTs
Super mix

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

A happy, playful sort of vibe that gets the toes tapping. Interesting chord progression and good blend of instruments. Well done.

Cool and groovy! Your music reminds me of sitting in a cinema in the 1960s and watching the commercials, like San Moritz cigarettes with visual of the French Alps, always with that continental European vibe. "You too can join the jet set - go skiing in the Alps and smoke San Moritz cool, menthol cancer sticks!" laugh

#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Oh, I love this style and don't get to play it enough. Very well composed, Laurent. Man, that trumpet sounds so good. Really good choices of instrument makes this sound like high-class band that plays in the expensive clubs with fancy drink menues. Much enjoyed.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Salut Laurent,
J'apprécie ta musique.
Elle est bien structurée et tout cela est très harmonieux.
J'aurais peut-être aimé entendre un solo dans le genre Carlos Santana au milieu du morceau...
Mais les conseilleurs ne sont pas les payeurs !
Alors tu as bien fait de faire comme tu le sentais.

Bonjour Christian et merci pour les commentaires. Je suis un fan de Carlos Santana mais je ne me sentais pas de relever le défi sur ce tempo à 160 et j'étais parti sur quelque chose de cubains, caraïbes et un peu moins chicanos et le trompettiste de la real track bossa est super. Je me suis aussi amusé avec le mode Stem des percussions qui ont toutes une piste séparée
et un panoramique dt ou g. Amicalement
