Bobblehead

Something I threw together last year when Di was in the hospital for a week. It was a submission opportunity for a film. The desired effect should include at least four or five of the following emotions: Exotic, Mysterious, Casual, Provocative, Quirky, Subdued Energy, and Happy. Also, it might be something appropriate for a lighter James Bond scene.There was no reference track provided, so I put this together with those thoughts in mind. I didn't get it finished in time to submit.

As I listened to this countless times, I found my head bobbing much like a bobblehead doll might ... thus, the title.

Alan,

This has the groove! It sounds like early 70s movie music.

Love the feel of this.

Nicely done Alan smile I agree with Bob above me - definitely gives me a 70's soundtrack vibe, which is never a bad thing. It got my head bobbing too - loved the groove and thought it was great use of the loops here.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

Wow, Alan. After reading the daunting task you had to tackle, I can hear that you really got it all in there with flying colors. Total magic, man. Yeah the 70s are well represented. So sad you didn't get to submit it. They don't know how disappointed they are.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Wow, this has to win the award for diversity in RT usage. I don't know how you made that work, but you did. The beat took equal stage with the melody, that was an interesting effect on my brain. Nice work!

Thanx a lot Alan, you have turned me into a bobble head! Not only was my head bobbing my toes were a tapping!

This sounds like something that Herbie Mann would play in the late 60's or early 70's.

Everything about this is perfect!

Thanks a bunch, Bob. And yes, it was to be submitted for a film set in the middle 70s. So, I guess I hit the spot! Many thanks! Best to you ...

Very successful combination of synth pop, modern bossanova and jazzy flute. I didn't know about that flute RT, it plays lovely melody. And the selected RD works perfectly for the pop mood. Enjoyable chord progression with a bit of melancholy. Sounds like a theme music for a nostalgic police TV series.

Alan,

That was awesome.

It is so good that I forgot to listen with an intent to write about what was happening. I truly ended up JUST LISTENING.

I don't think I could give an instrumental a better compliment than THAT.

A great listen.

"Exotic, Mysterious, Casual, Provocative, Quirky, Subdued Energy, and Happy."

Wow, I'd likely get hung on any two of those and never finish.

WTG re great use of BiaB AND capturing the feel of the description.

Cinematic? In spades.

A cool intriguing listen indeed.

That was a nice ride. And I say that because I envisioned this as the music for a car commercial or scene where the characters are tripping in a car. Outstanding production!

'Al-David'...

'Bobblehead', huh? Cute title smile !!!

Music for 'a lighter James Bond', you say? Hmmm... Well, yeah, maybe, but I'd say it reminds me more of the kind of so-called 'lounge music' one would hear in slickly-produced Italian 'B'-movies of the 60's and 70's, such as 1967's Grand Slam starring Edward G. Robinson, Janet Leigh, and an international cast (meaning all dialogue for the Italian, Spanish, German, and Swiss actors was dubbed in monotoned English laugh !!!), with a musical score by Ennio Morricone.

Listening your to your composition, it was easy to envision a scene in which the tre chic, handsome male lead (Alain Delon? Jean Paul Belmondo?) attempts to seduce some blonde, spangly-dressed 'pretty, young thing' on a crowded dance floor in a swanky Brazilian nightclub patronized by the most 'upper' of the upper crust. They do the 'The Pony', and 'The Frug', and whatever, while moving closer, even closer to each other as they dance, and just as their moist lips meet in a prolonged, passionate kiss, we cut to the obligatory, but G-rated love scene in the darkly sumptuous bedroom of his smartly-designed apartment overlooking the moonlit Copacabana Beach at Rio de Janiero laugh !!!

'Al-David', you really set a mood with a groove that 'set the scene' (for me, at least) in your irresistibly danceable and sexy composition, Bobblehead smile.

By the way, which athlete's likeness was reproduced in the bobblehead figure that frames your Soundcloud post?

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."
