BiaB is very creative, too, huh? Secret Interlude seems to fit this wonderful composition perfectly. Mario, you seem quite comfortable to my ears. The melody and horn harmony is superb. That guitar is very tasteful and so well played. Very enjoyable for this sunny Saturday morning, and it will surely translate well into the night. Marty, thanx for listening and those very nice comments.
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.

Your composition has that 'rainy day' feel blended with a melodic warmth and rhythmic coolness that is characteristic of so many fine bossa nova tunes. The string arrangement provides a dreamy, elegant background for your instrumental performances. Everything comes together wonderfully. Thanx for those very kind words. I greatly appreciate them.

I am somewhat of a Bossaholic, and this is a very tasty musical beverage!!! So, so nicely done Mario!!! Take care. Greg
BTW, there is NOTHING outside your comfort zone!! Greg thanx for listening and commenting. There are a lot of things out of my comfort zone its just BiaB makes it easy for me to experiment and learn new genres.

The nylon string stands out . It does get a tiny bit strident higher up but, generally, is a lovely sound well captured. You do amazing things with your controller. Well done.

You sound comfortable to me, Mario Great groove, and I really like the horn parts via the wind controller. But my favorite part is the nylon string guitar part, right in the pocket and super tasteful. Nice!

Howdy Mario.... Well....I like this one and I'd say you are in your comfort zone. A relaxing, well put together composition which I'd listen to again. I agree with all other comments. I've threatened to write one in this style too which I many research for my next project. Well done. Have a great day....

The nylon string guitar is a very cheap one that is starting to have a warped neck. Also there is no truss rod so this one will be in the garbage can in a couple of years, sooner if I replace it.

Every once in a while I hit a winning guitar part so thanx for that. It means a lot coming from an excellent guitarist like yourself.

Like I said I was a little out of my comfort zone as my wedding band did play a couple of bossa novas, but I had never do one from scratch before. Well I mean from scratch using BiaB ingredients. Thanx for the nice comments.

You are right up there when it comes to creating music that makes one feel good and happy - and that's what it's all about, right? Really, really beautiful track - it takes so much talent and skill to make it sound that easy, and that's exactly what you do. Thank you - I needed this, and you're 100% reliable, every time. Bravo.

Nice. It sounds like the music that would have played during the opening credits of a 60s movie.

Mario, you're the boss of the bossa after this one. Nice tune and changes. Your arrangement and choice of instruments show a good understanding of the genre. Cheers, Mike

Cheers, Mike Thanx Mike, but I'm no boss of the bossa nova. A novice yes, this was my first solo attempt at it, my band played a couple of them, but a boss, no way.

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
