Very well put together, Will. Love the trumpet. A great listen.
BTW, this is the second song I've listened to on the showcase this morning featuring the Koto!
Regards,
Leon Hi Leon, Thanks a lot for listening and your kind words! Will wow, I like this a lot, and it left me at a loss for words, so I'm going to simply echo everything that has been said so far.
So very interesting, a song like that would never occur to me in a million years. Hi Pat, Thank you for listening. Much appreciated! Will

Hi Will,
What a coincidence we both used a Koto in our songs!
You made nice use of it too, although the performance was a little short.
Probabely that is because so much more happens in your song! I liked how you did that.
All those instruments together are working out marvelous, to my humble opinion.
But what I liked the most though, is that tension of the rhythm section.
I think that glued everything together in a very attractive way
A nice peace of work,
Hans Hi Hans, I liked how you used the Koto too!  Thanks a lot for listening and commenting! Will Hi Will,
finally! Finally you're back - I've been missing your very maverick productions.
And this one is another typical example of your creativity - kept my attention from the get-go to the last note. VERY enjoyable!
Take care and stay safe,
Stefan Hi Stefan, I am happy to be back. Death in my close, close family and many other problems because of Covid-19 made me take a break from music. I am glad you liked the tune! Thanks for listening! Will

It really came together when the synth kicked in...propelled the song and filled the left channel.
Nice. Thanks a lot for listening, rayc! Will Will,
A wonderful musical experience! An outstanding "mix of genres".
Keeps the ear engaged throughout. An excellent mix - each instrument is clear and crisp and has its own space.
very much enjoyed.

Thank you for listening and for your kind words, Floyd! That is a terrific production.
Man, what a creative mix, arrangement and mashup of genres.
Superb solo trumpet.
Excellent world music!
J&B Hi Janice & Bud, I'm glad that you took the time to listen! Very much appreciated. I learned about miss Cox yesterday through your song... that was very interesting and your song was - as always - great too! Will

I like the downtempo funkiness and swagger of this piece. Had me bobbing my head and moving my bod. The use of a rather unusual ethnic instrument -- a koto -- to perform the melody left a haunting impression. The atmosphere of the song is bluesy, but the reggae rhythm gives it some attitude. It received multiple listens from me, and I kept the SoundCloud window open so I could go back and listen to it again when the feeling hit me.

Hi Will ...
WOW! I love experimenting with all the sounds BIAB has for me at my fingertips. I think you just pushed all the best buttons for a genre mix that's outstanding. What a great mix of genres and instruments into one cohesive musical jewel! Totally enjoyed all the various musical variations. Nice work!!! Best to you ...

Hi, Will !
To me your tune sounds
quite extraordinary and
wonderfully mystique !
I could not put this into
any specific genré, it is
so special - it is simply Will,
which naturally is super
as that is probably what
we all strive for i.e.
to be ourselves as composers !
I like this very much!
Cheers
Dani

I do my best dancing in the chair with my neck. This works LOVED the instrumentation and you either really lucked out with lines or did some excellent comping, but this was seamless and very unique. I really enjoyed it, and feel better for having listened. Thanks.

Hi Will Josef,
With the koto, you put a very pleasant oriental touch. It's a very pleasant instrumental piece to listen to. Everything is well spacialized and the melody is pretty. The playing of the trumpet is also great. Well done.

I probably lucked out, although I always spend a lot of time regenerating and editing the soloists tracks to get it how I want. What is wrong with your neck? Sorry I have been away from the forum for quite a while. Will Hi Will Josef,

LOL. Nothing wrong with my neck (except maybe it's a little skinny). It's NECK dancing. Try it.

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."
