Hi,
We're big fans of Bossa Nova. This is a nice piece that should be a real nice song once a melody and lyric are created for it. What I particularly liked about this is how the simplicity of it carried it so nicely. Really good start on this ... enjoyed it.

lambada, lots of potential here to go in several directions lyrically. I like the energy that manifests itself in the B part of the song. I agree that sometimes it seems that something is lost in the "punch" of the song when posting on SoundCloud due to compression. Thanks, Torrey

Yes, lots of potential here and many ways you can go from here.
I agree that Soundcloud makes a song a lot "duller" that the original. It must be their compression algorithm.
Good luck.

Very enjoyable, and yes it's really calling out for a melody.
Absolutely lots of potential.

Nice sounding track,
all the instruments sit in the mix well,
love the nylon string guitar,
there's a great melody hiding in there

Nice track!! My advice is (as Nike says): Just do it! Write a melody and lyric and just see what comes to you. Sometimes it is easier than you expect. Good luck! Your off to a good start!! Take care. Greg

Great work on this! It's got a great groove to it, and it had my foot tapping within the first few bars. I can't wait to hear the lyric and melody you come up with for this one! Thanks so much for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Hey, there, "lambada"...
I like very much the title of your song, "Bossa Nothing". It casts somewhat of a despairing, existential aura over the song that matches what I hear, which is a very minor key bossa nova with a downbeat feel and mood. The sax and string interludes add a splash of drama while the guitar solo lends a brief warmth to the track, as though a speeded-up sun was setting too quickly for us to remember its light and heat.
This is a different and therefore memorable bossa nova instrumental. It has an almost tragic sound. Band-In-A-Box's RealTracks and RealDrums seem to respond in a musical way to the personality of the composer as revealed in your chord changes and arrangement, in my opinion, at least.

Neil,
It's already been said, and I agree, there's a lot of potential waiting to be used in this audio. Latin rhythms are always great listening. I find it impossible not to get caught up.
All the best,
Noel

I'd better get a move on! Nothing like a bit of pressure to find a half decent melody, write meaningful lyrics and then perform it.:-)

Oh, I'm really excited to hear what this is going to sound like once it has lyrics, but it's pretty awesome already! I'm a big fan of lyrics ( perhaps because I love poetry in general ), so I'm rather eager to hear what you do with the song in the end!
Cheers,
Ember
