Good Morning

Hi all,

I wondered if making your own stlye was possible, so I
opened a googledrive "opensource project" folder, to
document this. Link in my signature, check my profile.

I made 7 default bassline's and paired them together for these keys below;
Then I added chords which would compliment the Key and the paired basslines.

The chords are also on a "TechnoMap135BPM.xls" Excelsheet. All midi files provided.

TechnoFull1 Vol 16 BPM135BreadBoard.Mp3 (Key of C maj) Basspattern 1, Basspattern b7
TechnoFull2 Vol 16 BPM135BreadBoard.Mp3 (Key of d mn) Basspattern 2, Basspattern 3
TechnoFull3 Vol 16 BPM135BreadBoard.Mp3 (Key of e mn) Basspattern 3, Basspattern b7
TechnoFull4 Vol 16 BPM135BreadBoard.Mp3 (Key of F maj) Basspattern 4, Basspattern 5
TechnoFull5 Vol 16 BPM135BreadBoard.Mp3 (Key of G maj) Basspattern 4, Basspattern 6
TechnoFull6 Vol 16 BPM135BreadBoard.Mp3 (Key of A mn) Basspattern 4, Basspattern b7
TechnoFull7 Vol 16 BPM135BreadBoard.Mp3 (Key of Bb maj) Basspattern 5, Basspattern b7

---------------------------------------------------

I used drums and Fx effects from Magix Music,

I used BIAB Ork448.STY; as a Rhythm Templetes to choose, which chords, from the midiSuperTracks below:

1798: Piano, Rhythm RockNRollJohn Ev 165
1796: Piano, Rhythm BritBluesInvasionJohn Ev 120
--------------------------------------------------
Then I played with modulating with these Keys, and created a quick song called;"Good Morning" Hope you like my new Techno-Jazz style.

Wow.

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Great discordant choices, and an obscure set of instruments that supply enthusiastic surprise throughout.

All provided with a variety of rhythmical delivery sitting so well in the mix.

Very well done.

Hey... hi... VideoTrack,
I am very glad you'd liked it.
I am pondering about doing some country style, I have not figured out a way to conceive that yet.... to go beyond a backtrack.... vocals .... what to do, what to do?

Know what this reminds me of a bit ? The old man from U.N.C.L.E. Theme. Well the start anyway.
Cleverly done

Wow - what an interesting and creative piece of music! I must say, I don't think I've ever heard anything quite like this on the Showcase before. It reminds me of certain stuff done by Shpongle, an English psychedelic electronic group. This is a wonderfully creative tune, and a great display of how diverse and limitless Band-in-a-Box can be.

Great work, and thanks so much for sharing smile


Cheers,
Deryk

hi, Deryk - PG Music

I am listening to Shpongle...now... Hallucinogen - Demention
I can hear what you mean....

Yes, a great display of how diverse and limitless Band-in-a-Box can be. I have always wondered what is the history between BIAB and Songsmith, which both started with the use of the same style files.

I am glad you recognize, how I have explored what's under the hood
that makes Band-in-a-box so great. As a chord mapper BIAB is an very valuable tool. Thanks for your great response!

Sincerely LPman

Hello, LPman

What a tune!
Very fun!
It reminds me of Lalo Schifrin a little bit.
Especially in the melodies of woodwind instruments.
You always create very unique music!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hello Shigeki

Lalo Schifrin made the mission impossible theme.
This is the first song I made, that the bass conducts
most of the songs focus.... Thanks for saying, "I always create very unique music!"

thanks so much.... I left this in my googledrive as an Open Source Folder, I may do the same for "Country Piano" if I can successfully add counterpoint harmony to it.
