Welcome Mario, this is really pretty music!! Great production, and the vocal is beautiful. Very meditative quality to this. I'm going to have to check out those styles. Great stuff!! Take care. Greg

Mario,

Very enjoyable!
Nice melodic and rhythmic layers which take the listener into another world - I floated away.
The improvised female voices are great - are they live recordings?

Hi Greg, thanks for your complimentary comments. My favorite style of BB is "Newport.sty" so I used a lot. I will uplord more later.

Hi Janice and Bud, thanks for your complimentary comments. How did I arrange?

First input code to BB pattern such as A is slow or soft and B is a little hard or excite pattern, I love "NEWPORT" Jazz style very much. And make MIDI data and transfer to Cubase 7 and add voices or other sound. So mainly I am using BB basic bass, drum, string, guitar and piano patterns.

Hello, Mario (こんにちは、タカハシさん)

Welcome to the showcase.
This is a very fine quality ambience music.
Very exotic.
The use of female voices and vocals are great.
I also would like to make a song of such style some day.
Very enjoyable listen.

Best Regards. (これからもどうぞよろしく)

P.S.
I also use Cubase.

足立さん、はじめまして、、 曲も歌も素敵ですねぇ、、 
ぼくはオンチで歌えませんので、ソフト音源やサンプラー音源を使っていますが、
難しくてなかなか使えませんが、、まぁ、趣味ですので適当に楽しんでおります。

特に1971年、20歳のころ10万円をポケットに世界中を2年間も放浪しておりました。
当時は現在のシリア、レバノン、イスラエル、イラク、イラン、アフガニスタン、
パキスタンと紛争がなくて、安全に旅ができました。現在は不可能ですが。

現在ぼくは65歳ですでに退職していますが、若いころ旅した中東を懐かしんで
いろいろ作っております。 もう350曲以上作っていますが、このBBはお気に入りで
アレンジにいつも使っています。昔のデータが不正確なのであまりアップできませんが
わかったのだけでもボチボチアップしようかなぁ、、などと思っていますが、、

現在はSoundcloudにアップしていますがフリーは2時間だけですので、古いのを削除して
新しいのをするか、Youtubeにするか、、国内ではOKmusic, MUZIEにアップしていますが、、

これからボチボチアップしていこうと思っていますので、よろしくお願いいたします。

Very eclectic mix, and you've certainly used a diverse approach with the song.
Enjoyable.

Hi Mario,

Wow - I think this song sounds great! I love the subtle vocal near the beginning, and how the entire thing builds!

Hi Callie, thanks for listening and complimentary comments. As your asking of the subtle vocal near the beginning, that is "Shevannai" vocal software as below: http://www.bestservice.de/en/shevannai.html

First I composed songs with BIAB and make MIDI data and transfer to Cubase 7 and mixed such as voice or other instruments.

I like this voice very much and composed a lot of songs with BIAB but detail data's are not sure so I am looking for and if I could find which BIAB style pattern, I will upload more and more.

Hi Mario,

Really enjoyed this. Has a lovely dreamy and relaxing feel to it.
Also as unusual combination of sounds that all seem to work so well together.

I am also going to check out those styles.

Good job.

Hello, Mario

作品への評価、ありがとうございます。以下、他のメンバー方にも分かるよう英語で書きます。

I also already retired from the company, now I enjoy composing music everyday.
I envy you for travelling the Silk Road to visit many Arab countries when you were young.
Though I have been to Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, France and Italy, all were the business trips.

Band in a Box has been a very important application for me, too.
I have been using it for about 20 years.
I like composing, but it is impossible for me without it.
I enrolled in the department of economics of a university, but also I wanted to study music, so I had been through the composer class of Yamaha Music School at night.

PG Music recommends getting a SoundCloud account, because our showcase songs are introduced as PG Radio on SoundCloud.
So, the best link of our songs is SoundCloud.
Though it will take a little bit money, it may be a good choice to change your SoundCloud account to pro-account.

I am looking forward to your next song.

Best Regards.

Shigeki Adachi
