Jazzy Birthday (to me!)

Found this neat jazzy rendition of the Happy Birthday tune online in pretty plain midi format, which I loaded into a DAW and "spiced up" with some VST sounds (courtesy of PG Music, Bigcat and EZ Dummer). Thought the result was good enough for sharing, so hope you enjoy! cool

Oh, and today actually is my birthday, hence the occasion (and the name tweak) wink

p.s. I'm going to presume knowledge here and not jump to the conclusion that you thought that language is mine...which can then only mean it must be yours? wink

Aww, thank you for that sentiment. I didn't think anyone would notice! grin
I've been quite busy lately, what with my choir having a concert and a CD coming up (next saturday, yikes!), and my latest Usertrack (only just released) took just about the remaining free time for great deal longer than I had anticipated. Continuous attention to the Mac beta department of BBox (which for me is now a year round thing) has also been a factor.
Things should slow down a bit after that concert, so who knows... cool

Come to think of it, this little contribution here today (which admittedly has minimal input from me per se) is perhaps just a little token of "still here, peeps" wink

Is Bjork coming to your birthday party?* Do you ever see her around?

Is there any way......I mean it's on my bucket list.

I must confess I had to laugh a little at the deadpan honest enthusiasm of this bit smile
She actually lives in the UK now days, so chances of me seeing her are quite slim (and why she'd want to is another thing entirely). We went to the same school, though, so I have in fact both seen and talked to here (I can just hear your swoon right now grin ), but she's a few years my senior so I was barely in when she was out.

Hope you had or are having a fun b'day (depending on all the time zone stuff).

First few notes of this and I suddenly had visions of Marilyn Monroe singing to John Kennedy. Other than she was singing Happy Birthday I have no idea why that image popped up smile

Cool version!!

Nice version of a usually non jazzy tune.
Nice imagination.

Ok, Icelander, who went to school with Bjork, man I just passed out and they had to revive me by pouring a bucket of cold water all over me.

All I can say is Mir Slav Gute Flaage Ger Hooten Dee Mirbohaaagen.

Wait!

That doesn't makes any sense. That is not even a language.

Never mind.

I couldn't agree more, on both accounts. I also can't take the credit for either one, for I didn't create nor even play any of it smirk
What this is mainly is just a showcase of how the choices of sound (some of which from PG, providing that necessary link to warrant the post) and mixing can benefit even the simplest 3-instruments tune from the rawest midi file. And I'm a sucker for music that turns things jazzy, may have been a factor wink

It's probably also worth mentioning that the inclusion of plugins has only very recently been introduced into Mac BBox, in fact quite late this year. This piece uses one of those plugins, even if not actually within BBox itself.
