Secret Interlude I am a little out of my comfort zone again. I couldn't think of anything interesting to say so I just let BiaB pick a title for me, so here goes nothing! BiaB style - Bossa Nova Style Tempo = 120 Drums = RealDrums - bossaBrushes Bass - Ample Bass - preset - Jazz Bass EP = Velvet - preset - 56 MKI vintage phase Guitar - Kontakt - Band - preset - nylon string guitar Strings 1 - Kontakt - Solid State Strings Strings2 - strings1 down an octave - Kontakt - String Boutique - presets Deep strings and dark strings. I am playing the nylon string guitar lead and via my wind controller the tenor sax (Swan Tenor sax) and trumpet (Kontakt - Chapman trumpet). FX = Wave's bass rider on the bass track. Raum reverb on all but the bass and drum tracks.
Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

Very different Mario. Cool chord progressions. Love that windcontroller. Guitar was very cool as well.

For being out of your comfort zone, you've certainly produced some comfortable, easy listening music. Melodic and mellow. The twinned brass were a nice touch.

There is something about a bossa groove that has always captivated us.
This is most cool...love the nylon pickin' and the horns. You are one versatile musican!

BiaB is very creative, too, huh? Secret Interlude seems to fit this wonderful composition perfectly. Mario, you seem quite comfortable to my ears. The melody and horn harmony is superb. That guitar is very tasteful and so well played. Very enjoyable for this sunny Saturday morning, and it will surely translate well into the night.

Your composition has that 'rainy day' feel blended with a melodic warmth and rhythmic coolness that is characteristic of so many fine bossa nova tunes. The string arrangement provides a dreamy, elegant background for your instrumental performances. Everything comes together wonderfully.

I said slightly out of my comfort zone as our wedding band did play a couple of bossa novas, I just never tackled the whole thing by myself. Thanx for those nice comments.
