I did not post any new songs last year. It was because I thought I should select a set of songs I like and have different tastes, tune them as best as I can and make up an album out of them all, rather than creating new songs. Thus I have created the album "Sincerely Yours" containing new remixed and best tuned versions of 12 songs of mine. (This part is extracted from my previous post.) This is the first song of the album. It is the most brilliant song in it. It was remixed based on “Far Beyond The Clouds (remixed)” . https://soundcloud.com/hirokata1121/far-beyond-the-clouds-remixed
https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=429054#Post429054
I think this remix is one of the most successful ones I made in creating the album. I believe the quality level of the base version is high, but the remix could enhance its quality to much higher level. https://soundcloud.com/hirokata1121/far-beyond-the-clouds-album
Major changes I made for the remix: 1. Tempo: faster (60 ==> 70) 2. Intro: 2 bars, chord sequence generated by BIAB ==> 4 bars, my original chord sequence 3. Styles: =AWAKEGF.STY ==> KLADRMAN.STY w/some manual changes 4. Instruments for the guitar tracks: Acoustic guitars (Real Tracks) ==> Synth sounds (Bright Tip and DX Times in D-Pro) The order (from high to low) of the effects brought by each change might be as follows. 4 > 2 > 1 > 3 I hope you enjoy this song. As always, your feedback would be most welcome. Hiroshi P.S. I am afraid that I am too much positive about my songs. I think I should be able to value them as fairly as possible, but frankly, it is not easy for me. Only your feedback can correct me. It is why I am eager to have your feedback. Thank you.

I like the tempo.
There's lot going on in the centre of the stereo image until about 2 mins in when the Death of Ase type of string theme enters on the left.
Lovely.

Lovely.
Thank you for your comment. It reminded me of something. As I wrote in the description of the album, I used the wind instruments (flute, clarinet and oboe) heavily for the melodies because I love their tones so much and most of the songs are the orchestral or classical-style pops. So was this song. Once I had replaced the guitar with synth tones, there were no reasons to stick to the orchestral instruments. So, I looked for any other instruments that fit more to the melodies, but I could find none. Maybe my ears are too much accustomed to them. As for the panning, as far as I heard it by headphone, I could notice reasonable spread of the sounds caused by the echoes of the synth tones. I think there is certainly some room for improvement here. As you kindly pointed out, the strings part is the most dramatic though I hope it is not sorrowful :-) Thank you again, Hiroshi

Man, that flute really took me away --then right to the oboe. Such a beautiful melody to lose oneself in. Amazing work, Hiroshi. Now I gotta get back to the rest of the album. Thanks!

'HiroshiK'...
I think the music of Far Beyond the Clouds is blissful and soothingly contemplative. However, at the same time, it has a somewhat yearning sound to it, as though you were describing something that you were searching for.
Your orchestration of your arrangement is colorful in a muted, autumnal way, and quietly emotional. The flute and oboe? clarinet? solos are expressive, with a melancholy flavor. The chord that is played at approximately 3:00 is so divine and lush to my ears that I closed my eyes, so that my sight would not distract me from savoring the pleasure of listening to it.
Was I hearing the sound of your musical soul?
Sincerely,
LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

Sincerely,
LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage') Hi LOREN, Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I was quite impressed by you. You must be the person who can see the imaginary scenes with your eyes closed changing with the progress of the music, and describe them properly. I must confess I am not such a person. It might make it possible for me to vaguely see them by following your description though. So, my answer to your question might be yes and no. Incidentally, I am afraid you listened to the base version (Remixed version), not the Album version. The play time of the Album version is 3:13 while that of the base version is 3:32. Most probably, my description of the song is not clear and make you confused. I am sorry for that. I believe you would see somewhat different scenes by listening to the Album version. Thank you again, Hiroshi

Hello, again, 'HiroshiK'... Your description of your song was absolutely, perfectly clear !!! What's more obvious to me is that I did not pay correct attention to what I read, and therefore missed the opportunity to listen to the album version, which I will do. Actually, when I wrote that I closed my eyes to listen to the darkly lovely chord that was played at the 3:00 mark, it was to allow me to absorb the sound and feeling of it, not to visualize scenes, though it would have been quite easy to do so, because your music was so emotive and musically colorful . I will be glad to 'get back to you' after I listen to the album version of Far Beyond the Clouds. Sincerely, LOREN

Hi Hiroshi ...
I always smile when I notice you have posted a new song. You are one of my very favorite composers. The depth and color of your compositions give the listener a soft, full, and pleasing experience. The listener can almost become part of the musical ride. This is simply gorgeous ... one of my very favorites from the many you have posted here!
Wishing you the very best ...

You are a wonderful composer and this is a
wonderful composition. We produce very
simple music and are always amazed at the
complexity and the time and thought it takes
to produce a song like this.
It is sublime!

J&B Hi J&B, Thank you for your kind comment. It is a great joy and honor to have it from the leading musicians like you. I think the songs with nice vocals well match simpler melodies and accompaniments because they support the vocals firmly and never spoil them. In my album "Sincerely Yours", there are two songs with vocals; Visiting Beautiful Kyoto and First Love. Both of them has much simpler melodies and accompaniments compared with the other instrumental songs. Hiroshi

I will be glad to 'get back to you' after I listen to the album version of Far Beyond the Clouds.
Sincerely,
LOREN Hello, again, 'HiroshiK'... Ahhh, yes! To begin, I could hear a difference in the quality of the recording. I felt the 'soundfield' was wider, and the instrumental sections more clarified and distinct, more closely approximating the sound of a 'live' orchestra. The second thing I noticed, was your rueful, wintry melody, particularly when it was performed on the flute and the oboe. You achieved a wistful, achingly soulful sound in your performances on those instruments. It very much reminded me of the work of the late, French composer of film scores and concert music, George Delerue. Are you familiar with him? He composed notable film scores for movies such as The Day of the Dolphin, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, Shoot the Piano Player, Jules & Jim, The Pumpkin Eater, and many, many more. Concerning Far Beyond the Clouds, you seem to share Mr. Delerue's affinity for composing music with a baroque, or mediveal flavor. Regardless of the similarities in instrumentation and compositional style, Far Beyond the Clouds retains it tone poem quality with a strongly emotive and memorable theme, accompanied by your spare, autumnal writing for strings and guitar. Most sincerely & respectfully, LOREN P.S. 'HiroshiK', would you mind informing me what all of the instruments were that you used in the composition?

Hello again, LOREN, Thank you for listening to the album version and getting back to me with the renewed and more in-depth comment. I am very glad (and relieved) to know you like the album version as well.
Hello, again, 'HiroshiK'...
Ahhh, yes! To begin, I could hear a difference in the quality of the recording. I felt the 'soundfield' was wider, and the instrumental sections more clarified and distinct, more closely approximating the sound of a 'live' orchestra.
I am impressed by your comment here. It beautifully expresses the effects I aimed at.
The second thing I am noticed, was your rueful, wintry melody, particularly when it was performed on the flute and the oboe. You achieved a wistful, achingly soulful sound in your performances on those instruments.
This paragraph is a kind of highlight to me. You kindly spotlighted the melodies of my song and analyzed them very well from the listeners' emotional point of view. It was very informative to me but, at the same time, it was a sort of shock to me. I will try to explain what I mean here. I love the classical music, and Mozart is my most favorite composer. He created a number of sorrowful works of course. My belief is that in those works, the sorrow never becomes serious nor it goes deeper. It just run through swiftly. I understand Henri Gheon called it "tristesse allante" (about String Quintet No.4 G minor K.516 - 1st Movement). I am hoping that the sorrow in my works to be like this.
It very much reminded me of the work of the late, French composer of film scores and concert music, George Delerue. Are you familiar with him? He composed notable film scores for movies such as The Day of the Dolphin, The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne, Shoot the Piano Player, Jules & Jim, The Pumpkin Eater, and many, many more.
No, I am not familiar with George Delerue. I am writing this reply while playing his music. As soon as my speakers had started to play "Camille", I could understand what you meant. Thank you for introducing me to his wonderful world.
Concerning Far Beyond the Clouds, you seem to share Mr. Delerue's affinity for composing music with a baroque, or mediveal flavor.
Yes, I think so too.
Regardless of the similarities in instrumentation and compositional style, Far Beyond the Clouds retains it tone poem quality with a strongly emotive and memorable theme, accompanied by your spare, autumnal writing for strings and guitar.
Thank you for saying this. I am very glad and greatly honored.
Most sincerely & respectfully,
LOREN
P.S. 'HiroshiK', would you mind informing me what all of the instruments were that you used in the composition?
No, I do not. I will list them up. DX Tines: Backing for the flute, oboe and strings parts Twelve String Guitar (with pad): Backing for the strings part RGC Flute In The Venue: for the flute itself RGC Clarinet In The Venue: for the clarinet itself Velo Strings: for the strings itself FG Bright Tip: for the harmony in the strings part Basses Legato: for the bass throughout Cellos Legato f: ditto Violas Legato f: ditto With many thanks and respect, Hiroshi

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."
