hi to all of you – in the best music forum on the internet!

the 19th of may terje bråtveit and i released an album worldwide (spotify, iTunes +++)

it is named: Blå toner frå Suldal (blue shades from suldal) and contain 12 very different songs based on local history of common man during the past 100 years

a dream came true on a real DIY-project: everything is homemade, terje wrote 12 great lyrics (on native norwegian - nynorsk) and did the main vocal – i wrote 11 new melodies + 1 trad. and did the rest; played, recorded, mixed and mastered in my basement

i used BiaB on the pre-production and ended up using a lot of the real tracks on many of the songs

Odelsbonden (the eldest son on the farm) is a song about the farm boy that can't marry the girl he loves, because she's from a poor family, not good enough for his parents – every dream and future plans they had where crushed – she went away and he never got married!

BiaB-tracks used on this song:

RealTracks in song: ~711:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 085
RealTracks in song: 1757:Accordion, Rhythm Pop8ths Ev 085
RealTracks in style: 1814:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CelticAir Ev 085
RealTracks in song: ~1118:Guitar, 12-String Acoustic, Strumming Ev 085
RealTracks in song: ~~368:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 065

they've been generated quite a few times and edited to match the "soul of the tune"
and BiaB really matched the idea i had – the tracks are so versatile and beautiful that i just had to keep them in the final mix

Thanks.

I don't have Spotify so that's probably the reason I can't access it.

I appreciate your help.

All the best,
Noel

Same problem as Noel, there's only a half minute to listen to, via your last link

Hi Einar,

I used the previews link, too.
Sounds good but is very short.
What a pity.

the last link is unfortunately only a preview-link, so you can't hear more than 30 sec

if you don't have spotify, you can download the free app with the link down under to hear the whole song:

Hi, einar

Apart from the accordion you used some of my favourite RTs so I HAD to listen.
Wow it sounds different to what I produce with them blush Your song is excellent, I followed the youtube link from your second link and WOW what a good song!! Those 2 listens are me!!

I like the vocal effects. In fact I like everything about the song, it is certainly impressive.

I totally agree
I wish you all the best with the album.

This is a great choice of RT's! I love that Bossa bass because it is
one of the very few even feel acoustic bass RT's available. The
genre varied RT's really complement one another. Great job
on that.

You did a fine piece of work with the edited regenerations and
they do indeed match the feel of the song.

The mix sounds really good on my monitors. It all works,
your vocal, the arrangment and the mix. Best to you
regarding the entire project. We enjoyed our listen!
