Hi all, this time I didn't use a Vocaloid. The vocals are by an unknown singer from the Royal Northern College of Music (UK) (Sample CD from Zero-G which also provided the aahh sounds used). It's an adaption of Marietta's Aria from the opera "The Dead City" by Erich Wolfgang Korngold. I hadn't heard of him before. But he is a well known composer of Hollywood film scores and received two Oscars. Here is the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roPSH0-_EZg&list=PLDEED516B0263F7C5It was a little tricky because the samples had a terrible timing. And I changed the mix of 3/4 and 4/4 to continuous 4/4 measures. I made 5 versions with different rhythms and ended up with the Reggae version which was perfect for me.

What an interesting mashup of genre's....
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Classical Raggae! What a concept; probably only the hyper-imaginative Guenter could have thought this up - and executed it convincingly to any skeptics (Classical Raggae? Heh heh, you're joking of course). No, it's the real thing folks.

"Interesting mashup" was my thought exactly.

Wow, and I thought that the Reggae song we are finishing up was a mashup! This makes our effort seem like traditional Reggae! Your technical skills are just off the chart and then to make it all sound like great music. Hat's off to you! Very cool production.

Guenter,
Classical Reggae....brilliant!
Astounding. As Janice and Bud say about their reggae and blues song, I thought reggae and bossa was extreme with my reggae style song but this........ +1 to what Bud says also. What will you produce next??? I for one can't wait!

Guenter, your originality and ingenuity never fails to amaze me! What a great track, it conjures up all sorts of mental images. Nicely engineered also, as usual. Well done.

+1 I didn't think I'd like something this different but the subtleties and pretty tones in the arrangement were quite interesting.

Guenter,
Gypsy Reggae Opera! It's official.. I've now heard EVERYTHING!
How you can possibly do what you do is mind-boggling. I do imagine you must have a great time doing it.
And you manage to make opera enjoyable in the process. The opera world should be beating a path to your door. You could increase their audience ten-fold.
This is a work of art. That is the best compliment I know of.
A thing of beauty.

Hi Guenter WOW! I was not expecting that I must say. Very different textures all coming through on the one track. Very inventive and an enjoyable listen.

Hi Floyd,
thanks for listening and commenting. "And you manage to make opera enjoyable in the process." That refers to me, too. I didn't use to like opera at all. But by playing around with arias I get to love the melodies eventually. It's always a challenge.
Hi Joanne,
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks a lot.

Like others said, creative use of styles. The gypsy fiddle, and classical voice, all over a reggae backing, this really creates two emotions at once and makes me think of a soundtrack. Perhaps on a French street.
Digging it, thanks for posting.

Astonishing (a word I do not use lightly) and very, very beautiful. How did you match tempos?
Richard
Edited to add: "Humanoid," which ensues on your Soundcloud page, would fit right in with the music I listen to all night on a Polish electronic music station. You need to get this stuff into distribution.

Guenter,
I just got here, in fact I am listening as I type. Here a couple of thoughts, you have got to be kidding and who would have thunk it?
Translation to the aforementioned thoughts . . .
#1. Without hearing the finish product one might think mixing these two genres was a joke but just after a few bars listen that image and thought is long gone.
#2. Gunter would have and did think it!
Very enlightening as to what music can be to different people, their ideas and ears and of course a great example of your creativity! You rock man!
Later,
|

Hi Richard,
thanks a lot. I had two songs, one with tempo 40 and the other with 80 bpm. In Reaper I put them together and tweaked the vocals by changing the play speed percentage in the 7 takes. About distribution: I've been retired for a year now and don't want to start a business. I just do it for fun.
Hi Danny,
thank you very much for your kind words.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
