Five to Go

Rharv showed me how to make a 5/4 song out of a 4/4 song in PGMusic's RealBand. I was able to take the 5/4 time signature into my DAW as 5/4! This is great news for me. This is my first attempt at that process.

BiaB style - Sirus - Sirus - Smooth Jazz

I deleted the drums and replaced them with a progressive GrooveMonkee 5/4 MIDI drum loops.

Drums - Session Drums - FX - Maserati drums.
Strings - Kontakt - Artic Strings - preset slow octave
Guitar - modified to better fit the time signature - Synthmaster - preset smooth as ice
Piano - modified to better fit the time signature - Keyzone Basic EP

I am playing:
1-Fretless bass - Amplitube -SVX - pop chorus - FX - Maserati B72 mono, Presonus comp
2-guitar - amplitube = preset Jazz amp 120 - FX Waves H-comp
3-glockenspiel- FX Waves H-comp

Mario,

I can only count to 4, so this is beyond me...

But it all sounds good. Not my genre, but I can appreciate music well done. (I've never understood why some folks won't even bother with stuff outside their interests . Music is music...)

That glockenspiel is cool!

Good mix.

I agree with floyd jane - the glockenspiel is VERY cool! Also: you really are, as I wrote on SoundCloud, one of the most accomplished musicians on here. I don't know how you do it - the command and control you have over harmony and harmonic progressions is just something else, and it all works together to make incredible music - which is what matters to me, at the end of the day. Hats off, sir.

Mario, very interesting tune indeed, smooth and very pleasant.

Cool sounds Mario. Very interesting time signature. Love the tune

Thanx Floyd, but I know that you can count over 4.

I like to experiment from time to time. Not all of the results are good though!

Thanx so much James. I will leave the studio after my head shrinks back to its normal size. Thanx for that!

Thanx so much Mike.

Thanx Scott for listening and commenting. I appreciate that.

Mario,
I`ve got a foot tapping out of time with my head nodding... so maybe I got the beat?
Nice jazzy guitar and that glockenspiel is quite tingling and trippy.
Very creative!

Robert

Thanx Robert for these comments. I had a rhythm guitarist once who could keep time with his guitar but not with his foot. That used to drive me nuts.

WOW, I always thought 5/4 would sound weird but quite quickly it is a comfortable flow!! Who said we should be stuck in even numbers? Very cool tune Mario!! Take care. Greg

Nice little tune. The piano melody is so soft and sweet. The guitar playing is good. Nice one.

Thanx Greg for listening and commenting.

PS - don't forget that 3/4 is not an even number

Thanx for listening and I'm glad that you liked it.

3/4, 2/4, 4/4 ... anything beyond that is above my paygrade.

Well, we do enjoy Brubecks's take on it

And we enjoyed yours!

J&B

Mario

A very successful experiment, very well arranged and played.

Enjoyed.

Peter

I'm glad that you liked it.

Thanx Peter.
