So very interesting, a song like that would never occur to me in a million years.


Hi Pat,

Thank you for listening. Much appreciated!

You made nice use of it too, although the performance was a little short.
Probabely that is because so much more happens in your song! I liked how you did that.
All those instruments together are working out marvelous, to my humble opinion.
But what I liked the most though, is that tension of the rhythm section.
I think that glued everything together in a very attractive way

A nice peace of work,
Hans


Hi Hans, I liked how you used the Koto too! smile Thanks a lot for listening and commenting!

Hi Stefan, I am happy to be back. Death in my close, close family and many other problems because of Covid-19 made me take a break from music.
I am glad you liked the tune!

Thanks for listening!

Keeps the ear engaged throughout. An excellent mix - each instrument is clear and crisp and has its own space.

very much enjoyed.

Man, what a creative mix, arrangement and mashup of genres.

Superb solo trumpet.

Excellent world music!

Hi Janice & Bud, I'm glad that you took the time to listen! Very much appreciated.
I learned about miss Cox yesterday through your song... that was very interesting and your song was - as always - great too! smile

I like the downtempo funkiness and swagger of this piece. Had me bobbing my head and moving my bod. The use of a rather unusual ethnic instrument -- a koto -- to perform the melody left a haunting impression. The atmosphere of the song is bluesy, but the reggae rhythm gives it some attitude. It received multiple listens from me, and I kept the SoundCloud window open so I could go back and listen to it again when the feeling hit me.

Hi Will ...

WOW! I love experimenting with all the sounds BIAB has for me at my fingertips. I think you just pushed all the best buttons for a genre mix that's outstanding. What a great mix of genres and instruments into one cohesive musical jewel! Totally enjoyed all the various musical variations. Nice work!!! Best to you ...

Hi, Will !


To me your tune sounds
quite extraordinary and
wonderfully mystique !
I could not put this into
any specific genré, it is
so special - it is simply Will,
which naturally is super
as that is probably what
we all strive for i.e.
to be ourselves as composers !

I like this very much!

Cheers
Dani

I do my best dancing in the chair with my neck. This works LOVED the instrumentation and you either really lucked out with lines or did some excellent comping, but this was seamless and very unique. I really enjoyed it, and feel better for having listened. Thanks.

Hi Will Josef,

With the koto, you put a very pleasant oriental touch. It's a very pleasant instrumental piece to listen to. Everything is well spacialized and the melody is pretty. The playing of the trumpet is also great. Well done.

Kindly regard

Thanks a lot, Tangmo! I probably lucked out, although I always spend a lot of time regenerating and editing the soloists tracks to get it how I want.
What is wrong with your neck? Sorry I have been away from the forum for quite a while.
