Many nights I have crossed blue water in my 31 foot long Trintella cutter-rigged sloop MYSTE, fetching exotic ports alone with no particular destination--- wherever the wind blows.

I keep watch 24 hours a day by drowsing in the cockpit, while the slow wind flogs the lines, or the muscular wind hauling us along, all taut and singing, with gurgle-sloshes singing along the hull.

My friend Ron spoke of "The Goddess of the two a.m. watch:" this is for Her; this is for me; this is for the whales passing, deep and silent, under my keel; perhaps it is for you also.

The chord progression is as complicated as the sea, unpredictable as the wind, yet as consistent as a bottle of El Dorado 25 Year Old Limited Edition Rum.

Desertphile,

Interesting combination of instruments and sound textures going on in here! Complex variations of chord changes with the result being a pleasant sound! I am assuming some if not all of these tracks are BIAB Realtracks.

Welcome to the Showcase! I think you will find it's a great place to share your work! Take care, Torrey

Thank you. I am working on a blues song, and if it does not turn out perfect I will hop up and down and whimper. :-)

Gosh, thank you for reminding me! I must edit the topic to include the elements to the music.

Yes: Realtracks throughout; I was going to play my resonator guitar but it would not fit anywhere here.

After the introductory post I was a little afraid to listen in case the paint brush had been put down in te writing/mixing process.
I needn't have worried.

Welcome to the forum.

This is one hell of a great first song. Very smooth sailing throughout the entire track. Everything fits like a glove.

Excellent work.

Hi David,

I just listened to your song, after reading what you wrote as an introduction to it.
I could easily imagine the lapping of the waves, the swell of the sea and you at the tiller...
So you did a very fine job with this song. And it has a nice chord progression too. I believe it is were you go to Em7.
Normally I hope there are vocals in it too, but in this song it was no drawback.
I also didn't hear any ooh or aah, but maybe that pedal steel was in the way (for my ears).

I enjoyed your song very much,
Hans

Well gosh and thank you. I am writing a blues song, and it takes me many weeks to make it perfect. I did not add vocal to this instrumental because I did not have any lyrics ready, plus I do not wish to hear myself sing all night. :-)

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."
