I hesitated a little. A little shy to post my own creation, but here we goes... Having BiaB for years but not really starting using it before recently... Love the sound of the real tracks....A song created using style created from a Pink Floyd midi song, playing to the chords of Chick Corea's song Spain... For the Trumpet style is used Don Clark's real track and guitar is used Jason Roller's real track. Added a 3d fractal video, but the quality become not so good... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lapMNt6dodw


Forever Grateful, BUT, sometimes pissed of. wink

Welcome to the forum Trygve. You posted a nice song for your first time out. The trumpet was a good selection in leading your band. As I was watching the video, I felt like I was in the middle of coral reef even though I know that was not the case.

Welcome Trygve!! This is a pleasant musical piece. Trumpet part works well, if in an unconventional way, against the background. Enjoyable listen!! Take care. Greg

Trgve,

I love cutting and pasting, slicing and dicing the melodic ideas in RealTracks solos so that I get the feeling that I'm a kind of Dracula, sucking the juice out of the RealTracks artist's brain and re-shaping them according to my own tastes.

Here you've managed to create a long solo where I don't hear the familiar licks or repetition. That is remarkable. My only criticism comes from personal taste: I like my solos short and a total track time of around 3 and 1/2 minutes. I developed this preference as I acclimated to the Forum, which is not a jazz venue. It's hard to get folks anywhere to listen improvised non-rock music, so jazz performances on the Forum has to be melodically accessible (yours is) and short (yours isn't).

Most important, however, your tune is beautifully executed. How about something more modern, a little more adventurous?
