Howdy Folks. Been a while , Hope this finds you all healthy and well Some more madness Suite:Covidia Boring stuff below I was jamming away on my piano with biab TECHHOP.STY for a a solid 10 minutes and recording what I played. Well 97% of the results were just rubbish but I did get some riffs that i thought were passable. So I stuck the ok bits together (hence the rather pretentious "Suite" in the title) and sang some stream of conscious words over the top . It is still a mess and very much a work in progress and I may have posted this prematurly but I need some fresh ears to help beat this into shape , so critiques are very welcome. BTW I am enjoying everyones music. Lyrics. if they gave it to you would you give it to me if they gave it to you there is no gaurantee In the year 2020 Covid virus came to town but we will not be defeated Gonna cut that sucker down They locked us in our houses And threw away the key will they ever find a cure we have to wait and see I found out that they're telling lies Come on baby don't compromise I fought hard for my liberty Don't take my freedom away from me I got tested and I'm doing fine Stood all day in the welfare line I fought hard for my liberty Don't take my freedom away from me generation - education - medication -of the nation agitation - motivation - separation - of the nation tempo 140 the band. 1930:Synth, Bass, EuroDance ChorusBass House-Techno-Trance\House - city_lights_128_drum_loop 1938:Synth, Rhythm, EuroDance 2293:Horn Section, Rhythm 1743:Synth, Rhythm ModernDancePopRaveStrings RealDrums [in style:ModernDancePop^01-a:Bass, HiHat , b:Claps, Bass (much cutting and pasting) Me - Piano.

Oh, yeah, Gary. I could listen to you play piano for hours. So 10 minutes? No problemmo. This is fun stuff. Reminds me of a band I was in like 50 years ago. Me (bass), a Juilliard pianist and a drummer trying to emulate The Nice (Keith Emerson). Really nice touch on the keys. Wait there was more to the song... another listen (after Beethoven's Op. 27). Ok. Yeah, the rest of the tracks are REALLY cool. A wonderful composition. Very well done. Hurry back with the next one.

Thank you Marty for your nice comments.
Also thank you for being brave enough to be the first to comment as I was a bit concerned that this was a little too wild.
Cheers.

Hi Gary ...
I think you have a really good song here. Totally loved your piano track ... strong and powerful and led the way for the rest of the band. The mix sound just right and your vocal shines ... and is placed exactly where it should be.
Loved the power and energy of the whole thing! This is some strong stuff!
Best to you. Be safe ...

Wow, very good piano and arrangement, I really enjoyed listening. With the lyrics, I felt like you went with the first rhyme that came to your head instead of bearing down and coming up with some truly memorable lines. That may not matter to you and I understand that - not everyone weights lyrics highly. But it was still a terrific listen and I am now listening again! Good job.

Thank you TM.
It's nice to "talk" with you again.
Yes you are correct about the lyrics and I will work on them.I get lazy and forget that the purpose of the music is to serve the lyrics.
Thank you for listening and your wise commentary.

Whew!! i don't know what to say. That was a wild ride! Great idea to get that rhythm going then just get creative in a stream-of-consciousness kind of way. Loved it all!

My 1st thought was that YES it does need some work...things like the snare roll need some tweaking and there's the occasional hesitant spot in the piano work.
BUT not too much tweaking as this flows and has a good level of infectious energy.
Well done.
Cheers
