Fundamental Afternoon Live

During the first lockdown in the Netherlands in the spring of 2020, we were given the opportunity by a local theatre to perform 4 of our songs live. Due to covid there was no audience of course.
So, instead of worrying about entertaining the audience (there wasn't any) we could focus entirely on how the songs would sound. During the performance our videos were projected (we allways use our videos as a background during performances).

One of the songs was Fundamental Afternoon. We posted this several years ago.
Bear with us for the intro the theatre used smile

Style is ALBERTI.STY (Alberti Classical Piano)
Piano Custom Synth is Synth/Plugin Loaded
Style MIDI Instruments are : Cello (43), Acoustic Piano (1)

You saw me here that day
Coming back from the things you do
Going back hating strings you feel
And you never even reached a bright and sunny day for you
Rise above the things you do

Oh, where you’re going makes me sad
But where you’re going makes me free

You raised your bar so high
No question who or why
You’re looking back on the things you do
And you never even reached a bright and sunny day for you
Rise above the things you do

Oh, your lonely memories make me sad
But where you’re going I’ll be free

Free……

And I wish you all the best

Rob and Anne-Marie

Hello Rob and Anne-Marie
I am really excited about your song
You can see how little instrumental support is needed
when you can sing as well as you do.
Bravo!
Thank you very much for this wonderful song
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Very nice, lovely voices, a bit short but I listened several times. A lyric sheet might be nice. I could make out most of it. Good work!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I listened to both the live theater version and the video posted a few years back. I think I like that live performance a little bit better, but regardless such a pretty song wonderfully performed. Excellent listen!

My best to you,

Deej

Three things

1. Good to see you are back

2. Good to see you perform live. There's been a few folks here doing that.

3. Good song.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.

The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
