Hi The kind members of the biab club.

I put a musical landscape on the wolf. This particularly endearing animal has a very developed social life. To achieve this instrumental music, I have been looking for wave sounds of the howling of the wolf.
used tools
Vst Biab for the continuation of agreements.
I started with a midi track piano that I modified and on which I put an IIyamov guitar. I changed the fingering in the pianoroll. Then I added strings playing in different octaves but modeled on the midi file of the piano. By isolating certain lines of the chords, I introduced backing vocals and the flute. To top it off, I added waves sounds from my personal bank. If you have the time or the inclination, please let me know if you liked it or not. See you on your compositions. Thank you.

4. Bass eastwest mor on chords biab
5. Choir voice of passion and choir boys eastwest on one line biab
6. Projectsam luminia irish flute on different lines of pianoroll
7. different wav sounds

Derochette,

Love your arrangement and the palette of sounds presented here! The score builds in a beautiful way with a very nice mix! Some of those string sounds are incredibly good! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Derochette,

That is a nice piece of work you made about the lonely gentle wolf.
I liked how you managed to make the background vocals sounding more and more like the howling of that wolf.
Only somewhere at the end it was a bit overdone on this effect. But that is a minor thing.

The composition was very interesting and the melody turned out to be very intriguing and picturesque.
Even without words you can imagine a lot. Though the howling also pointed the direction of one's imagination ;-)
It was nice to read how you did all this with the midi. The (IIyamov) guitar was very bright and gave a lovely sound to what originally was meant for a piano (if you can say that with midi).

I enjoyed your song a lot!

Derochette,

Another wonderful listening experience. Beautiful!

A very clever idea to use a piano track as the starting point for the nylon guitar. And that nylon guitar has a great tone.

Strings are nicely done. The piece builds well.

And an excellent mix.

A great listen.

Hi Birchwood,

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I started this soundscape music a year ago and I finalized it in the last few days. At the time, I tested several midi lines in different old biab midi styles (very well done and often forgotten by club members) through the biab vst. I will try to find them and mention them to you in a future post. I will be careful next time to mention where I puncture the midi lines used. Thank you for your comment.

Hi Scott,

I am always happy to read you. Very different from my previous composition, this composition is mainly based on a vst guitar put on a mix of midi piano lines taken in different old Biab midi styles.

This Vst is IIyamov nylon which is not expensive (but wait promotions at - 50%) and which is one of the best on the market. You should know that this vst only runs on kontakt (full version) of native instrument. Thank you again to you for following me and for encouraging me.

Very impressive work!

Interesting usage of the nylon guitar based on a piano track. I really liked that nylon guitar's sound.

Outstanding composition and mix.

This is a winner!

What a beautiful wolf you've painted with this musicscape, Derochette. You show the pride and strength in the animal. There is so much interesting little musical weavings in this tapestry. Always enjoyable to listen to while seeing your musical pictures through closed eyes.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Cinematic and very engaging.

This is like a painting for which you can see additional beauty each time you look at it.

It is so beautiful in such a gentle way and the instrumentation choices are exceptional.

We love wolves and we love this!

Derochette,

Just reading the description of you writing process before even listening had me breathlessly in awe. I could only wish to have the technical expertise to even approach doing a composition in the way. I was not disappointed with the listen. You have a lovely way of pulling things together, and this is a beautiful piece. Soulful and rich emotionally. Perfect production. Just outstanding!

All my best to you,

Deej

Hi Deej56,

Apologies for the delay in responding. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I'm glad you like this intrumental. Here I incorporated wolf vocals taken from the web to make the harmonies more lively in relation to this endearing animal loved by some and hated by others.

Derochette,
This was on my "listen to list" for some time. Finally caught it smile
Very lively composition. Interesting twists in melody. Arrangement is very strong with a lot of focus to the details. I found interesting usage of nylon guitar with full force of orchestral strings. To be honest I would use less heavy orchestration, perhaps more "acoustic" so it blends better with very intimate Efimov guitar that has a lot of presence.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hi Rustyspoon,

Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I deliberately made variations on the orchestral strings taking into account the videos I watched on the wolf who can be calm and at other times who can have a more nervous attitude. But you're absolutely right I could have chosen softer orchestral strings compared to the nylon guitar. I retain your constructive remark. Thank you again to you.

What a great instrumental, the arrangement sounds great, it surely has required lots of work, all those small details - introduction of instruments, the choir, the change of dynamics and of course the main character, the gentle wolf. I can imagine a movie about a young wolf running care-freely in the forests and on the meadows.

Hi Ezekiel's Storm, Jannesan, rsdean, Beatmaster,

Many thanks for stopping by to comment on my soundtrack. I tried to get into the spirit of the wolf, an unrecognized but endearing animal and a well-known predator. Through these various simplistic notes, it is a reflection on the life that surrounds us.

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."
