A Sailor's Dream - My latest (but hardly greatest) for your enjoyment, yayh! Envisioned as a homage to the "Sailor songs" era of the early Icelandic pop, hence the choice of name. These tunes were "all the rave", as I believe the expression goes, in the mid 50's and well into the early 70's up here. Accordion takes the obvious center stage, since that instrument is so closely associated with sailors in our culture (although much more so in waltzes, the term "sailor's waltz" being very known to our vocabulary). Full of clichés and deliberate feeling of familiarity (at least to natives), to further support the tribute. Formalities: Core style is _ RUMBABP, with the two acoustic Calypso guitars added and changed the drum set to brushes. Soloist is a hybrid of two midi Flute 'Classical' soloists (output via BBox own flute vst), with some manual input by me in the mix. And lastly, accordion and vibes complete the soundscape, both curtesy of yours truly

Icelander, interesting choice of style to go with the accordion for an Icelandic Pop tune.
There's certainly no limit to the flexibility that one can find, eh?

Icelander, interesting choice of style to go with the accordion for an Icelandic Pop tune. I had a hunch that it would be a good idea to include some elaboration on that choice. Looks like I was right But it's really just like I say in the above outline, for this song it's very much a reference to a tradition....plus I, being icelandic and all, happen to rather like (and somewhat know my way around) the accordion

Hello Ice!
That's a pretty cool song! You captured the mood we had in mind after reading your narrative. You have a good knowledge of the BIAB tools and this song is a fine example of that. Very nice ... we totally enjoyed it! The flute was nice, too! Nicely done!

Thousands of miles from being a native but the two of us had no problem enjoying the song and the backstory of how you put it together. The seemingly disparate choices of instruments, flute, accordion, calypso guitars, etc., all work together amazingly well.
We enjoyed the listen!

A very compelling listen Icelander. I love the squeeze box it conjures up so many images. The claypso feel works well too. Well done. Paul

You know, that's the second time I've seen the accordion referred to as a "squeeze box" in less than 24 hours, how quaint. Odder still is that until just today I didn't even know what that term meant and had to look it up! Anyway, many thanks for your compliments.

Icelander
Very good! Your clever use of the different styles add up to something that sounds authentic in the tradition. I enjoyed the folky, singalong feel and love that accordion ( have to check out your user tracks for more).

I actually wrote this thing a few years back but it came back to me just recently for some reason, and then it stuck in my head and refused to bloody leave! So I had to do what I usually do with ear worms, play it 'out of my system' as it were, and that's how this BBox treatment came about. Hope it didn't outstay its welcome in your head too long p.s. Glad to see you finally spell my name right, btw

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."
