Hello my friends from Biab,

I submit a new composition linked to image and sound. I adapted it to a video that I created with the Magix software. This video is dedicated to the Kingfisher or in French le MArtin pêcheur? It is a beautiful bird, admirable for its life and its behavior in society where it willingly shares its food with its peers.

For this composition, few variations in terms of chords to maintain the rhythm linked to the image, apart from the guitar solo but I made an effort to synchronize with the video that I made by borrowing found footage here and there on the web.

I started with the C2-five.sty – Ev8 Country Ballad style. I increased the tempo to 95. I replaced the guitar with the Realrack 2200 Guitar Nylon. For the piano I selected the 2065 Piano, Rhythmic newage style. I added strings, choruses and bells vsts. For the creation of the music, I worked on the classic biab and on the vst biab. I noticed that the biab vst provided the midi file of the drums and not the realtrack of the drums of the Biab classic.

The image editing is finished, I uploaded the video to YouTube. And on this platform, I encountered publication problems with the BBC because I inserted a 30-second sequence from one of their copyright-protected films. YouTube, however, allows me to broadcast my video privately, which is why I cannot put an introductory avatar as I did with my “wild horses withe no name” video.

I'll give you two links but I would like if it's possible to watch the YouTube video or on my Facebook page before directing you to SoundCloud.
Thank you in advance for your comments, if you have the time or desire. Kind regards

If it doesn't work on youtube, go to my video on my Facebook page, close the connection request window to view the video and activate the sound volume to listen to the music on the video

Hi, Derochette.

Since the YouTube video is private, I can't view it.

No doubt, some of the choices in the music would make a lot more sense with the video playing. laugh

Still, a pleasant instrumental to listen to.

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

Hi dcuny,

Indeed, it doesn't work on private link to youtube. I added a link to my Facebook page which works. click on the link, close the connection invitation window and click on the sound volume. Please tell me if this works. And above all thank you for your comment. Nice day.

Hi, JaniJack --nah, I call you Derochette. Let me know how you prefer it.

The YT vid said it is set for private, but I love the one on FB. I like watching videos, but with your music I really enjoy sitting back with eyes closed and just watch the music. You always make it an enjoyable experience.

The sound on Soundcloud is so much better than FB. What a musical treat. So well done.


Yes, Martin is the Kingfisher.


P.S. It's safer when curating clips for your videos to take them from royalty-free sites like pexels.com and pixabay.com. If you find any other good ones, let me know.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Scott,

Thank you for your comment. In this composition, I really tried to bring sound and image into symbiosis. And I'm happy to be able to share the result of this combination on my Facebook page.

Hi rayc,

Thank you for your nice comment. I wanted to compose the music from a video edit. It is for this reason that few variations are introduced apart from the guitar solo. But here, if the video is not seen, the music can be perceived without much variation, apart from the guitar solo.

Thank you for your nice comment. I continue my learning or try to combine image and sound. Too bad I couldn't find your latest composition.

Hi BabyMusic,

I want to thank you for several things. For your thoughtful comment, for being friends on FB and for your wise advice. It is true that this composition is really linked to the image, listening to it without the video is tasteless for me.

Concerning YouTube, I absolutely have to review my working method. The first thing is to submit the different sequences of my future video to YouTube. If there are copyright rights, they will notify me and show me the locations. If so, I will remove the protected footage and replace it with others. Once the sequences are accepted and copyright free, I will be able to really get to work. In the free clips, there are not many in the areas I am looking for.

Ps :Even if my name is Jacques Derochette, call me Jani which is the familiar first name that goes best on this forum.

Once again, thank you very much for your kindness and your advice which really pleases me.

OK Jani, What a fantastic composition that matched the video.
Clean and full backing tracks complimented that guitar perfectly.
Nice touch adding those strings.


I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.

Hi Rustyspoon#,

I love bells and I often include them in my compositions. I am delighted that you enjoyed this composition made mainly with RT audio from Biab.

Good work on the slow motion parts which suited the music. Did you film it yourself?

Hi Vircan,

unfortunately no, I extracted sequences from different YouTube videos dealing with the Kingfisher. I assembled these sequences and added visual transition effects. Thank you for your comment and for viewing the editing of the video.
