One more from me - luckily (some may say) and most probably the last one in a while ... I've taken advantage of the New Year break to write a little, but the Fates will soon call me back to the daily grind, so who knows when my rather dubious but nevertheless existent creativity will have a chance to raise its head and communicate through the wonderful BIAB creative software once more. ANYWAY - here's my latest song, such as it may be - thank you once again for being ever so kind as to listen and perhaps even comment!

The solo trumpet was done with Sibelius/NotePerformer 3 ... and the whole thing was mixed, as usual, with Audacity. It's nothing major, but I hope you like it all the same :-)

Nicely done, James smile It flows delightfully smoothly, and the trumpet solo fits perfect with the instrumentation. I can definitely imagine this sounding fantastic as part of a wedding ceremony.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

This is really nice - the trumpet synth is excellent and you seemed to play within its range too.
The only nit would be the bass/kick drum.
For some reason BIAB have gone for the ultra modern clicky kick in the last few years and it's problematic to edit that out and get the old thump back.
It can be EQd to sound better but you'd probably need to use something other than Audacity.
Lovely track though.


Cheers

Very pleasing to the ear...

Wedding music could benefit...
From newer compositions such as this!

Very nice indeed!

Super mix and that trumpet sounds great. The sax sounds super also.

Excellent work!

Very rare to hear banjo and brass together but this really works .
Same could be said for the sax.
Very well crafted. Rob4580

Hi James,

What a wonderful listen. As J&B said.... "Like a gentle mountain stream" and I think it's an excellent and apt description.

The trumpet sound that you have used is exquisite. It reminded me of Nini Rosso when he played "Il Silenzio". (That's a great thing, by the way.)



You won me over big-time with this creation.

All the best for when you get back to the "9 to 5"!

Rob4580: thank you! I was wondering about combining banjo and brass myself, but ... I'm glad it worked :-)

Noel96: thank you so much for such incredibly nice and kind comments! I didn't know "Il Silenzio" ... it's really, really beautiful! Thanks again - also, not least, for your kind comments about my "9 to 5" :-) With any luck, I'll survive and somehow find time to write anyway ;-)

Steve Young: thank you so much - so glad you enjoyed this little offering of mine. I'm always beyond flattered when such amazing musicians as the ones found on this forum like my latest crazy efforts, haha. Thanks again, everyone!!!

Yes this was nicely put together, and yes modern sound for a wedding.

I would have loved to hear this as a ballad with vocals.

Thanks
