Hi all, I've composed this music like a tribute to Buena Vista Social Club. Patrick Fournerat has written french lyrics and he sings. He is telling his memories of one travel on Amazon river. https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/transamazoniaRD BossaRockPerc^1 RT 916 Acoustic Bass RT 1903 Acoustic Guitar RT 3200 Solo Electric Guitar RT 1176 Electric Guitar RT 1175 Acoustic Guitar RT 3244 Bajo RT 584 Resonator Guitar RT 3200 Solo Acoustic Guitar RT 2767 Cuatro RT AfucheShaker Loop Cowbell Here's an approximate translation : Faded by the rain, the river has changed color. Everything becomes black and gray. I can not hear the howler monkeys anymore. Odor of humidity and immobile forests; alone in the dark, the yellow eyes of crocodiles. Transamazonia, Manaus, Santarem. Transamazonia, Belem terminus. sailing on the Amazon ... Carried by the current, the pirogue undulates gently on the way to the east in the spotlight. Morning butterflies with subtle colors and childish games of pink dolphins so slender. The morning mist left the place for the sun. In the vegetable hell, the din of the wake up. The tired faces by a sticky night will be rewarded. Nature is generous.

Christian,
you & Patrick should take a laptop, keyboard & microphone to a few cafes and sing these excellent songs to an audience.
Excellent.

This is fantastic lounge music in any language! Great groove, super backing tracks, vocals and harmonies and groove, this has it all. Fantastic lead guitar also.
You should be very proud of this.

What a pleasant listen, especially the harmonies at the end. Maybe writing in French is the answer to my lyrical dry spell! Je ne vois rien à dire.
Je ne peux penser à rien pour chanter.
Quelle meilleure langue pour chanter
d'une crise existentielle que française?
Tout sonne tellement mieux,
même si tout n'est rien du tout.Yeah, that's the ticket!  But back to your song - well done!

Chris & Patrick,
Excellent sounding tune! Nicely composed, vocals are A+. I like the "aged/mono" FX you used in places. Enjoyed it.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Band-in-a-Box® - Boxing Clever - Sound on Sound #TBT
Did you know that Band-in-a-Box® is more than 30 years old? I stumbled across this 1990 magazine article explaining the relatively new program, and think it's an enjoyable read for any Band-in-a-Box user - it really shows that we are always listening to user feedback when developing our program!
Read the article: Boxing Clever: Band-In-A-Box Software
A few of my favorite statements:
"The intention of PG Music's Band-In-A-Box package is to couple that speed and convenience with the improved flexibility of the personal computer. Versions are available for the Atari ST, Mac, and PC compatibles. Have the programmers succeeded? And can they rid themselves of the stigma of the auto-accompaniment section? Given the above state of affairs, the first hurdle that the program has to overcome is one of acceptance and, frankly, a name like 'Band-In-A-Box' is a bad start."
(I think our name was a great start!)
"The final results are, to say the least, impressive. Band-In-A-Box achieves something that most hardwired auto-accompaniment sections have never been able to do - inject a degree of feel into the music. It really does sound more human than so many of the computer generated pieces I've heard."
"...I'm quite convinced that PG Music will have a winner on their hands. This is one piece of software that you can get more out of than you put in."
