I don`t think there`s a "not supposed to" warning for Biab - that`s part of the fun, which you have clearly had and communicated here!
Nice title btw.

Hi Robert. Yes, maybe I should have left out the drums. Something to consider. Thanks for listening!

It just hasn't yet. Keep at it, Will.


Please, continue to experiment... it will for sure pay off... and we will all enjoy listening to your experiments!

Thanks for listening!

I love this an awful lot - it's not just most interesting, but a very enjoyable listen from the musical point of view.

Love that ending.

Congratulations on another awesome track !!!

All the best,

Stefan


You are too nice to me, Stefan, but your kind comments are very much appreciated!

Hi Will,

I liked listening to this. Your 'band' of cross-genre musicians certainly make for interesting listening. I was fascinated as I journeyed along on the music.

While I'm nowhere near as adventurous as you are, for me, one of BIAB's biggest strengths is that it allows music creators to experiment in many different ways. With this song, you've given us all a great example of how it's possible to go places that no-one thought possible (just like Mariana's Trench).

I really enjoyed the listen!
Noel

Hey that was fun! I like it when people push expectations. Personally, I think you totally pulled it off!

I guess this is about the only way to get people from different genres to work together so well. smile
