I've done more variations of the "Deya Flows" chord structure than any of my other instrumentals and there's a yet to be completed shorter song featuring a string quartet. The 1st version was the non-intrusive soundtrack for my "Deya Flows" video in which the images were more important than the music, then later discovering that track was improved by adding a piano I used the "with Piano" version for the soundtrack of the redone "Waoist Adages #34 to #77" video, which previously had a Creative Commons soundtrack. The "V2" proper, which I've yet to do a video for, then used the latter rhythm track and had strings and electric guitar added; then this "V3: Transformations" opens with a solo sitar and in the 1st cycle of chords other instruments enter. In the 2nd cycle there's a piano solo, in the 3rd an epic electric guitar solo, and in the 4th it cools down with a tenor sax solo, thus the "Transformations".

Wonderful. You have incredible production skills and it shows. A bit long for my taste but I listened to all of it and I'm glad I did. Started off nice and calm and finished with what seemed like every instrument in BIB rocking out lol. Great vision and production, I'm sure it took quite a lot of time to finish. Great job man!

Thanks for that positive response, Rick. I'm an audiophile and one of my great joys is listening to long compilations of my favourite music either with headphones on, or when I can't disturb others, over hi-fi speakers, so although this instrumental is a bit long for most persons it's a track I enjoy listening to inside a compilation. I enjoy all lengths, from under a minute to 20+ minutes. Some of my favourite artists whose arrangements I particularly like I even wish would have recorded a 20+ minutes single track, sort of like a rock symphony. I like BS&T's "Blues Part 2" which is close to 12 minutes long and I'd have been happy for it to have been longer! Love's 1967 or 68 track "Revelation" is over 19 minutes long and took up the whole of Side2 of their "Da Capo" album. I recall back in the day dancing along to that with friends!

"Deya Flows V3: Transformations" went through quite a lot of changes over a period of a couple of months before I was happy with it. Some compositions I'll finish in a few days, others take a week or two, and some, like one I'm currently working on, has taken me so long to arrange I might eventually scrap it! But great thanks for your feedback, Rick, it's very much appreciated.

I listened with pleasure to your 'transformations' where the realy nice melody went from a sitar and tabla to a piano, guitar and finaly the sax.
That was a very beautiful creation or elaboration of a song.
From my point of view (that is a matter of taste) I would have swapped the sax and guitar myself. but that is because of the sound of both instruments.

I used the sitar myself in a rocksong. I was working with some people on the song and they were shocked I wanted a sitar in it. But afterwards they liked it a lot.
The way you started with it and that tabla worked out very good and smootless they were taken over by the piano and the drums. Nice work!
The pictures were not my taste, but who cares...

Well done,
Hans

Thanks for the great responses, Hans. There are 2 reasons why the Dave Cleveland guitar solo appears in the 3rd of the 4 choruses/cycles. The 1st reason being that the rhythm section powers up in the 2nd & 3rd cycles and gets milder in the 4th, so the 3rd cycle is the best place dynamically for a powerful guitar solo. The 2nd reason is that as the guitar solo is a sample I'd have had to 'cut and paste' a different sample's ending to it to conclude the piece. But dynamically the 3rd cycle is the logical place for it as the 4th cycle is milder, as is the tenor sax solo.

Although the song was 8:16 I enjoyed every second of it.
Super mix. That must have been a bear to mix.
Put this one in the can as I think it is finished.

We enjoyed the genre mashup with the varied tracks.
That is always fun to do with BiaB and you chose and mixed them well.

A lot of tracks for sure but the mix has open/airy feel that we always love.
That is not easy to accomplish.

And the video well augmented the feel of the audio track.

Well done!

Hi, Chay.

Nicely done. The sections built and flowed well, and the use of Indian instrumentation is a welcome change.

But... a bit long for my goldfish-size attention span*.

*: Yes, I know - that thing about goldfish not having any memory is long debunked.

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