I have a new demo song without lyrics on SoundCloud. It's a little out of the ordinary genres, but I like playing with the voice.

Nothing like a little Mongolian Throat singing to bring out the eccentricity of a track.
Whilst a coherent narrative is usually a plus I think you get away with the impressionistic approach on this.

Nicely done - it flows tremendously well, and the throat singing gave it an extremely unique vibe. Surprisingly catchy given this, and I liked the instrumentation you chose for this. Really nice use of the RealTracks.

Thanks for sharing smile

Dear Mr. Zdenek...

Your instrumental/vocal composition, 06 Two Alici On The Road KV, is a thrilling, unearthly aural experience. In a very basic way it reminds me of the work of the late Ken Nordine, who was famous for his night-time radio program titled Word Jazz, broadcast from Chicago, Illinois. They were stylishly surreal listening experiences that blended spoken word performances with different styles of jazz music.

As forum member 'rayc' and PG Music staff person 'Deryk' noted, the Mongolian throat singing is absolutely mesmerizing! But what's even more impressive (to me, at least), is the musical arrangement you fashioned out of truly diverse Band-in-a-Box Real Tracks. It seems to combine a variety of ethnic music styles into a kind of global, or universal sound, as though we were hearing everything musical in the world all at the same time:

RT2197 Piano, Electric, Rhythm JazzRockHeld Ev16 100
RT1604 Fiddle, Background Pop16ths Ev 110
RT1856 Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085
RT2864 Harp, Rhythm ClassicalSwing Sw 110
RT2773 Harp, Rhythm Celtic16ths Ev16 075

Texas blues-rock, jazz, pop, country, Celtic -- that’s quite an eclectic mix, sir, and very imaginatively composed and arranged. The soaring, wordless female vocal track lends just the right amount of mystery to the composition. Your singing makes me think of someone praying, or chanting his hearts secrets to some ancient deity.

This is one of the most fascinating and unusual musical productions that’s ever been realized using Band-in-A-Box software, and then presented on the users' forum. I think you may have created a new genre of music with 06 Two Alici On The Road KV.
