Move On Over

You have an idea for a lead line. Your saxophonist takes it and changes it then your horn player does the same. Finally you yell move on over as I am taking over.

BiaB style - Hip hop 1
Tempo - 200 BPM
I deleted the bass, guitar and string tracks
Drums - SSD5 - Deluxe 2 - percussion - Clap Studio 10TR
Piano = Arturia - Farfisa V - Dream Organ

Via my breath and keyboard controllers I am playing the backing horns (Swam trumpets 1 & 2, and the alto and bari saxes) and the solo Swam tenor sax and the solo Swam trumpet. I am also playing my fretless bass and lead guitar.

All comments are welcomed.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Mario, don't know anyone who's having more FUN with BiaB and music than you. Super tune, love the variations on traditional changes and the modulation near the end. Really nice playing on all the real and virtual instrument, too. You're the MAN!

Mario,

Love this! Your guitar and bass sound great, but those horns are killer! Great mix as well.

The mad scientist strikes again! Always great to hear what comes out of your laboratory!! Side benefit: I’m constantly learning about new tools, like the Swam instruments. Thanks Mario!

The intro is not my thing, but man, the combination sax + Farfisa kicks *ss in my opinion.
Love that part!

Thanx so much Ron. Yes I do have a ton of fun with BiaB exploring all kinds of music, some I know while others are new to me. I'm glad you enjoy my music wanderings.

Your musicianship shines again, and you always do exceptionally well with your breath controller. Enjoyed the tune. It had a 60s feel.

You sound like you had a lot of fun recording this instrumental. The Swamming is excellent as always - one might even say breathtaking - so while a very few can claim to have swum the English Channel, you can go one better and say you've Swam more: both Stereo Channels at least!

You have the most unique and inventive workflow of poster on forum I think. You're very creative and talented to boot. This is an excellent example. Very much enjoyed this.

Thanx Dave. Those Swam instruments are fantastic, I wish I had enough money to purchase more of them.

Thanx for listening and commenting. I am still learning the breath and keyboard controllers. I wish I had kept up on piano lessons many years ago.
