This song is a tribute to a musical instrument dear to my heart: The Fender Rhodes electric piano. I think I was charmed by its sound while listening to the song "Cristal silence" by Chick Coréa. I have no training as a pianist so this song has no musical pretensions..
I would also like to wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Laurent, c'est E-NOR-ME, Grandiose !
Là, ça me plaît. Entre la musique qui balance super et les petits personnages savoureux, c'est magnifique
Les meilleurs momoents: à 0'22", ça lance le morceau; la patinoire et, à 1:45 la guitare électrique, wow ! A 2'03" la descente des marches, extra ! Et, à 3'30" le Papa Noël sous les applaudissements, c'est onirique. Le final avec les tubulures, c'est...magic. Bravo !!!

Laurent, it's E-NOR-ME, Grandiose!
I like it. Between the great swinging music and the tasty little characters, it's magnificent.
Best momoents: at 0'22”, it starts the song; the skating rink and, at 1:45 the electric guitar, wow! At 2'03”, the descent of the steps, extra! And, at 3'30”, Santa Claus in the applause, it's dreamlike. The finale with the tubulures, it's...magic. Bravo !!!

Bonjour Laurent.

I love what you've created.
And I agree with you, the Fender Rhodes sound is superb.
You're a very inventive musician and creative arranger.
This production shines in so, so many ways.
You've won me smile

All the best,
--Noel

Laurent, very cool smooth jazz feel to this. The Rhodes sounds great, and this is a worth tribute. Love the delay on the soloing guitar and the shimmer that adds. That's a very lovely outro, too. Superbly crafted!

We've always enjoyed that piano also
It has worked well in so many genres over the years.

The guitar sounds great in chops/tone and everything is wrapped in a fine arrangement and mix.

Well done!

Very nicely done, Laurent.
Mix is great and the rhythm change half way through was refreshing.

Beautiful and relaxing electric piano song - perfect to calm down after a hard day's work.
The guitar part has a bit of a Pink Floyd vibe, I like that too.

Lovely instrumental and video. I can definitely see it as a soundtrack piece. The guitar solo works brilliantly. Excellent outro, too.

Spendid sounds, Laurent. Hey, as they say in Philly, Inquiring minds want to know... what AI are you using now? Your video is so engaging. Love the whole tune. Chic is the perfect inspiration for your creation. Merry Christmas, Laurent.


Enjoy whatever happens!

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.
