Hello everybody! I just ran across the forums the other day and discovered y'all. I really like the showcase forum. Here is my latest rendering with the BiaB 2013 sounds. I usually don't document all the tracks but I'll try to sketch them in a bit. They are all from the Box. The style is 'city2' in the soundtrack group. Drums, bass. strings and clav are running through a MotifRack ES. The other sounds are generated out of Real Tracks...guitar is a rhythm track; trumpet is a soloist (of course) and the guitar solo comes out of Real Tracks as well...so it is 100% BiaB. Tracks are edited and mixed in Sonar. What an amazing tool! Enjoy!

Joe,

That is quite unique. Would not know how to begin to "label" it. Very enjoyable. Great mix. Welcome to the forum. Keep 'em coming...

Thank you, floyd!

It is an adaptation of a 20th century classical piece (Alan Hovhaness' Prayer of St. Gregory). But it encompasses a lot of what I like to listen to; Jazz, Classical, Trip-Hop/Downtempo, Soul and Blues. They say 'make music you like'...so there you have it! I like to call it 'Eclectronica'...LOL.

Very Creative. I love how you use BIAB to express your inspiration, your sound and rhythm adaptations. Not just clever...it's sounds like love man.

Awesome! Very well done.

I enjoyed the track. It's different and interesting music. I found the rock guitar lead a bit too discordant against the rest of the music but that's just me.
