That is an interesting track. Quite different what I am used to hear from you. I like the instruments you have chosen for this performance - they sound good together.

Enjoyable listen!

Excellent tune has an European feel to the song. Sax sounded great. Well done

I try not to go into any of these songs with expectations but this is something completely unexpected [in a good way] . When you open up the Box you never know what might pop out. I agree with Scott it sounds very European. Everything sounds great. Nicely done, Tom

Indeed.... Scott and Tom mentioned the European feel.... I got the same feeling. Cool tune

Thanks, all, for your feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed "something different".

Very different indeed. Interesting mix of instruments and feel.
Good vibe.

Tano,
Excellent composition. So much is going on, yet listens VERY well. Bandeon was a nice addition.
Perhaps non-verbal scat? Liked it!

Misha.

Mike, Misha...thanks for listening, and I appreciate your comments!

Hi Tano,

I agree with Misha, a lot is going on in this nice song. It also has a touch of the Mediterranean, or bit of France.
What I found most interessting is the changing of the rhytme two times. Very clever how you did that. It is not so easy to do this without making the song a bit inimitable or confusing.

Like it,
Hans

Hans, thanks...glad you caught those little twists!

Simply stated this is a showcase on the showcase forum. Engaging is THE word.

Absolutely exceptional use of RT's, RD's and midi.

And a fine mix.

We just love all of the nuances...takes several listens to absorb them.

Excellent!

Your command of harmonic progressions is nothing short of remarkable. The track is relaxing, chilled, the saxophones are stunning. But, for me, the harmonic progressions are what makes me look at this track (and at your abilities) in awe - they and your abilities to create them are above my paygrade - at least for now, hopefully. Congratulations.
Posted By: Tano Music Re: Adriatica - 08/09/20 09:55 AM
Thanks James...I start my process in BIAB and usually try to make my harmonics go in unexpected directions, then work to create melodies, etc., that function well along that winding path. It (sometimes) works out well! And, if you're lucky, the RT's sound great, like the sax's in this piece. Thanks for listening!
Posted By: musician17 Re: Adriatica - 08/09/20 10:24 AM
Thanks so much for explaining! Yes, BIAB is well-suited to that - to see where the chords and counterpoint (is that the right word?) go when one uses it to write. I can do some good things with it, but your stuff sounds almost Debussy-esque or something with the unexpected chord progressions it has. No other way to do it except (more) practice from me on these areas of writing ... but it's good to know that you approach it the same way as I do. Thanks for sharing!

This has a wonderful groove!! I've always loved the Latin jazz rhythm, and the change up was really cool! Nice work!! Take care. Greg

Thank you, Greg.

Very nice.

As I listened I couldn't help but be influenced by the photo, the yacht and the water, and so in my mind I saw passengers slowly boarding a ship moored at a quay somewhere...yep...in a European port:)

Be well.

An excellent use of RTs and MIDI. Very different but also very good.

I very much enjoyed being on your island oasis!
