I hope you will indulge me while my BIAB projects remain somehow stuck in the kitchen on the stove cooking.

This is another Korg X3 MIDI composition from the late nineties - early 'oughts.


After listing to "Departure" by seeker, I hope to learn how to utilize BIAB for these types of compositions in the near future.

Very cool instrumental Lawrence!! Although I do love hearing you sing. This is very well put together. Wonderful motion in the music! Take care. Greg

A good listen, Lawrence.

Nicely put together. Good mix.

A lot happening along the way. Good textures.

I do miss your vocals, though.

floyd

Cool. Look forward to more.

Wow Lawrence,

Shades of Jean Michel Jarre there, beautiful, hypnotic, I enjoyed it from the first note till the last.

Paddy G

Lawrence,

This is great - love all the layers in there...

Bob

Exactly what he said! Tom

Yep, very well done and a great title! Like Greg said there is motion in the music.

We like it!

J&B

PS Hey get those new projects off the oven...we wanna hear them!

Hi Lawrence,

although I miss your vocals, too, I really enjoyed this one. Especially like the drums and bass. Great soundscape.

Guenter

Hello Lawrence

great music near perfection.
For me this is your best.
Great synth

Sergio

Indulge you??? no, I just can't frame any comment on your wonderful music as an indulgence!

At a time when I was still cursing the general state of computer based recording and accomplishing very little in any direction, you were already making rich and complex arrangements like this one!

Considering the tools you had to work with, and the fact that you had to do all this with little or no computer help, I have to compare your ability to conceive all the intertwined parts to the ability of the classical composers to imagine all the parts in their compositions.

As I listen to this and hear how the various passages segue from one to another, I am very impressed. It takes a special awareness to hear something like this in one's mind before it actually exists... and then conjure the dream into reality.

Interesting to hear something that is so different from the very organic music you tend to make these days... but one core thing has remained constant, and that is your amazing ability to take what's in your head and capture it as a song. That's nothing short of a gift!

Great song ! Love the transitions !

Thank you Greg

Thank you Floyd

David, I'm glad you liked it.

Jarre has some really cool sounds. Thank you.

Thank you Bob. It's fun to write this kind of music.

Thank you Tom

Thank you. I'm slowly working on it.

Thank you Guenter. I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you Sergio. That is very generous of you.

Pat, what can I say except thank you for your kind words. Once again you are very generous with your comments and observations. I'm glad that you liked the song.

Thank you very much Trygve.

Lawrence,

This sounds definitely cool! It is indeed very well layered. Definitely captures the spirit of the 80s and 90s.
But.... aren't we supposed to only post BIAB songs on the forum?

Rob

Lawrence
That was a complex and impressive!

Awesome sound, cooking on that Korg! I also miss hearing your vocals!

Kenny

Very cool tune. Loved the intro

Great arrangement. Enjoyed this from start to finish.

Thank you Rob. I agree with you in spirit but the rules do not preclude works composed by other means.

Thank you very much Peter.

Kenny, I'm glad you liked it and hope to get back to my vocal tunes soon.

I'm glad you enjoyed the tune Scott.

Thank you Charlie.
