Improvisation Band-in-a-Box May 23 2018 ( soundcloud )


Improvisation Band-in-a-Box May 23 2018 [Video 1080 HD] YouTube

Hi all,
I had some trouble with putting an independent bass on my last song " Wrong Planet "
this song I did't have that problem. I made this video on-line. I heard the music and watched video.... then I asked;"How much?"
"Ouch! won't do that too often". So I hope you really like this video!

Nice work here, LPman smile It flows perfectly, and really if you hadn't said it was improv I'd have never known. The airy and dreamy quality of this tune is what drew me in. Very entrancing to listen to.

Great job - thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

WOW!!! A beautifully done and great sounding piece of music! All the acoustic was that Brent Mason solo guitar? Sounds beautiful! How did you process that? Very nice stuff!! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg,
I did the same process like the song "wrong planet" except more focus on creating an independent bass-line. Yes Brent Mason did the acoustic guitar...
My "Self Piano Reflex" improvisation project is still learning to walk tired

Last night I tried to see if the song "The world needs love" by Dionne Warwick could be interpreted & would work with my piano reflex cheatsheet... will have that answer soon!

Thanks for your wonderful review. smile

Hello, LPman

It's a very unique chord progression as usual.
Nevertheless improvisations are beautiful.
It is surprising for me.
Generally, improvisations are apt to collapse with strange chord progressions.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Shigeki Adachi

Yes, one day my chord progressions will follow a more standard path... mean while I'll build bridges, until they pan out to choruses & versus.... l'll get there wink
Thanks so much for an honest review. Glad you enjoyed it. Take care.
