At any time I usually have in progress 1-3 slowly evolving chord structure experiments in BiaB and this track resulted from a marriage of one such experiment plus trying to improve the structure of the now 100% deleted "The Hectic Life of Orla Swoon", which though gaining more positive responses on this forum than I expected was always my least favourite composed-in-BiaB track. In the end only 16 bars of the latter survived, but as a result of the experiment I've come up with a very positively vibed new instrumental, "A New Day", which positive vibe-wise could be a part of a trilogy along with "Flying Free" & "Spring Forward".

This instrumental has 3 choruses of 48 bars and the 1st chorus is purely dedicated to introducing the 12 rhythm section stems in 4 bar steps. The 2nd chorus is shared by the piano and tenor sax solos; and the final chorus by the organ and guitar solos.

I did a lot of editing of the 3 drums tracks, including creating hybrid samples, but I made too many notes to paste here.

The Giggle Piano solo is a hybrid of 2 samples.

The Verdite Tenor Sax solo is a hybrid of 5 samples.

The Scroll Organ solo was mastered in Soren in order to even out low to high volume phrases, plus I fiddled with it in other ways to get what I wanted.

The Nashville Radio Guitar solo is a hybrid of 4 samples, but it took me hours to create and place each section as whenever I created new regenerations the most interesting and exciting playing was in the bars preceding the ones where the solo starts. So I had to create lots and lots of regenerations until I had enough of the most interesting sections before putting together a hybrid solo of my favourite 4 parts, but I had oodles of fun doing it!

Key A ~ 115 bpm ~ 144 bars ~ 5:10
