Many years ago, I saw an interview with Mark Knopfler on TV. He said he hated music videos, but had to make them to keep it going as an artist. The music industry continuously develop alongside the consumer technology industry. What a journey it has been… And now, because of the pandemic situation, the digital revolution has reached new heights. But what will it be to continue as a musician after this game changer? I do miss the live concerts… I love Band-in-a-Box and the attitude of PG Music. To be creative is a lifesaver these days. It makes me able to practice and make new music. A little while ago, I started a thread in this forum on the process of a new song called EPIDEMI. In the back of my head, this song needed its own video, to visualize the content of the lyric. It's the first time I've made a song with this in my mind from the very beginning. Have my own musicality changed to be more visual than audible? I wish I had the resources to make my visual vision come true, but because of the local Covid-restrictions and the loss of income since March, I had to use what I had at hand; My song, a couple of friends, an iPhone, a computer and the local Rock Club. No audience – I really miss that part of being a musician. From the very start of this project, the first rendered drum and bass tracks from BiaB have been the foundation of this production. Also kept a guitar track, because it blended so nice in the mix. This are the BiaB-tracks used: RealDrums in Style: Rock16thsSync^01-a:Closed Hat, Snare, b:Open Hat, Snare RealTracks in style: 2755:Bass, Electric, RockHeavy16thsDoug Ev16 090 RealTracks in style: 3347:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm HazyFunky Ev16 090 Style: _GOODVIB.STY And this is the restricted result of a creative dream: EPIDEMI-VIDEO

Hi Molsenhouse.
Jeg likte videoen din og musikken din. Det er hyggelig å se personen som lager musikken.
En god video er 95% fantasi og bare 5% godt utstyr.
P.S. I can't really speak Norwegian . I just thought it would be nice for you to read.
Vennlig hilsen
Gary.

Very cool video and song.
Being that there was no translation handy I couldn't find the context for the la la la las and that nagged at me a bit.
Wonderful video and the mask off/on is greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks CaptainMoto! ;-) Low or high budget – wrapping and content is not always what it looks like. Take care, stay safe!

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
