Five to Go

Rharv showed me how to make a 5/4 song out of a 4/4 song in PGMusic's RealBand. I was able to take the 5/4 time signature into my DAW as 5/4! This is great news for me. This is my first attempt at that process.

BiaB style - Sirus - Sirus - Smooth Jazz

I deleted the drums and replaced them with a progressive GrooveMonkee 5/4 MIDI drum loops.

Drums - Session Drums - FX - Maserati drums.
Strings - Kontakt - Artic Strings - preset slow octave
Guitar - modified to better fit the time signature - Synthmaster - preset smooth as ice
Piano - modified to better fit the time signature - Keyzone Basic EP

I am playing:
1-Fretless bass - Amplitube -SVX - pop chorus - FX - Maserati B72 mono, Presonus comp
2-guitar - amplitube = preset Jazz amp 120 - FX Waves H-comp
3-glockenspiel- FX Waves H-comp


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Mario,

I can only count to 4, so this is beyond me... wink

But it all sounds good. Not my genre, but I can appreciate music well done. (I've never understood why some folks won't even bother with stuff outside their interests frown . Music is music...)

That glockenspiel is cool!

Good mix.

I agree with floyd jane - the glockenspiel is VERY cool! Also: you really are, as I wrote on SoundCloud, one of the most accomplished musicians on here. I don't know how you do it - the command and control you have over harmony and harmonic progressions is just something else, and it all works together to make incredible music - which is what matters to me, at the end of the day. Hats off, sir.

Thanx Floyd, but I know that you can count over 4.

I like to experiment from time to time. Not all of the results are good though!

Thanx so much James. I will leave the studio after my head shrinks back to its normal size. Thanx for that!

Mario,
I`ve got a foot tapping out of time with my head nodding... so maybe I got the beat?
Nice jazzy guitar and that glockenspiel is quite tingling and trippy.
Very creative!

Thanx Robert for these comments. I had a rhythm guitarist once who could keep time with his guitar but not with his foot. That used to drive me nuts.

WOW, I always thought 5/4 would sound weird but quite quickly it is a comfortable flow!! Who said we should be stuck in even numbers? Very cool tune Mario!! Take care. Greg

PS - don't forget that 3/4 is not an even number wink

3/4, 2/4, 4/4 ... anything beyond that is above my paygrade.

Well, we do enjoy Brubecks's take on it smile

And we enjoyed yours!
