Hey guys,

I picked up a Yamaha WX5E midi wind controller about a month ago and decided to compose a tune using it.
It's sort of a smooth jazz tune.
I recorded both melodyA and melodyB into BIAb using the WX5E.
Tried recording the solos as well, but not good enough on the instrument yet so generated RT solos instead.
The tune is called Clouds In My Coffee.
It's in the key of E Minor.
The form is.
Intro, AABA, Solos, B, then B transposed up a half step then an 8 bar ending.
I hope you like it.

I sit and program all day long…( the Paying Job..lol) and while I do that I listen to this type of music on smoothjazz.com Very, Very Nice. You need to submit some of your work (this one ).. to smoothjazz.com and get streaming air play. It’s just a matter of submitting a marketing kit…

So when is the CD Version coming out that I can buy….with your greatest hits?

Nice Song...

Paul,

Thank you much for your comments. I'm a computer programmer myself. I'm pretty much retired, but still do part time programming for the company my wife works for.

Thanks, I'll check out SmoothJazz.com.

Tim

Tim,

Very, very nice! You seem to have a knack for putting this type of song together. Good job!

Steve

Hey thanks much for listening and commenting Superbron.

Tim

Had to have another listen to this one Tim, how the Yamaha playing coming along? Great Job!

Hey thanks man for giving this one another listen.
I'm practicing every day. BIAB is great for helping me do that.
I wish I'd had this program back in the day when I was a music student.

Tim

I know what you mean Tim, I think it would be an incredible teaching aid!

Hi Tim,

Wow! I think this is just wonderful.
I love smooth jazz.
I hope to hear more of your music.

Debra

Debra, thanks for listening and commenting.
Much appreciated.

Tim

Now this is artfully constructed indeed

I really like the ‘A’ chord sequence and the keys patch at 1:45

Would have liked something a bit more insistent in the perc. track (yes even the dreaded cowbell)
Personally, I don’t much like the oohs and aahs
Maybe the key change could be better exploited (say a little run to take it up to the lead note in the ‘B’ melody)
Also the ending is maybe a bit odd. It ends just when you think its taking off again!

So in answer to your question, Tim
