Here is a new song from Robert and myself. The song originated from my Instrumental Turn It Up. On a shuttle to the nearest exoplanet, earth has disappeared from view. How does a colonist who will never see either the old or new worlds again spend their time? VR travelling through earth, nature`s subtle colours look ever more lovely. Viridian Lyrics: Viridian I`m tired of silence Ai tyrants autonomous food comes from a tube the earth went dark on our Interstellar Ark cargo of hope so heavy I scope on the Atlas Visor are there survivors it seems so real remember to feel at furthest north on Virtual Earth the compass needle spins round a fallen world that might have been my viridian propulsion gulfs the nuclear pulse tune my string to the hum and sing sing to empty heavens my oh my viridian in blues and greens let my dreams come the pixels fade hard truths I evade Proxima B I`ll never see from Paris to Rome far as my mind can go still hold dear a bluegreen sphere at furthest north on Virtual Earth the compass needle spins round a fallen world that might have been my viridian propulsion gulfs the nuclear pulse tune my string to the hum and sing sing to empty heavens my oh my viridian in blues and greens let my dreams come © Robert Cordrey May 2022 Band: Style is _SZHONKY.STY (Stonez Honky) RealTracks in style: ~~387:Bass, Electric, Metal Ev 085 RealTracks in style: ~496:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm StoneZ Honky 1 Ev 120 RealTracks in style: ~502:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm StoneZ Honky 2 Ev 120 RealDrums in style:NashvilleEven8^8-a:Snare, HiHat Open , b:Snare, Ride RT3230_Guitar, Electric, Background CinemaHeldLowDarin Ev16 _0 RT3231_Guitar, Electric, Background CinemaHeldHighDarin Ev16_0 4044-Sitar__0 Vocals and lyrics: Robert C Guitar and Synths: Scott C Drums-Tabla16ths_0

Ah, I returned and it's running as it should. The intro guitar tone is a good match for the sitar - or visa versa though the scale sounds a little more S.E.Asian. The lead from 3.55 seems slightly out of synch but the switch to sitar leaves that as insignificant. I suspect some lyrics are missing & a possible typo at grope. The tabla as the propulsion device works really well. Good stuff.

Had a listen over on FB a while back while I was having my first coffee of the morning Cool song, nice arrangement, good guitar work (love that repeating melodic theme!), excellent vocal. Great stuff Robert and Scott, you two always come up with interesting music and this is no exception.

Scott and Robert
Cool concept tune! Love that far east vibe floating along with the track! I think this is probably my favorite of all your collab songs! Roberts vocals are perfect for this tune! Scott, that clean sound on the guitar really suits this one well! Sad that SoundCloud wouldn't let me leave a comment due to technical issues! Just an enjoyable listen!
Thanks, Torrey

Robert & Scott...
Love this!
Might be my favorite Robert lyric ever. SUPER cool BAND. Spacey and Rhythmic. Perfect. Scott's guitar compliments the tune and band. Nice. Robert's vocal work perfectly. Good mix.
One of your best.

Robert & Scott Neat collaboration. East meets the West. Cool instrumental choices. Scotts guitar a perfect fit. Lyrics are great, so are the vocals, but I do wish they (vocals) would be a little more upfront. Listens well. Thank you for sharing. Misha

Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey for checking out the song. Robert made some changes to the original track and gave the song this east-west feel. Really glad you were able to get Soundcloud to work and also glad you liked it. Scott...great arrangement and overall sound is very cool!...love the sitar and the synths...your guitar work is stellar as usual. Thanks Dan for checking out the song. Glad you like the mix of instruments. We like tp experiment with genres. Glad you liked the song.

Huh, haven't heard the word viridian since art classes at school. Back then I was also reading a lot of science fiction. Possibly Robert was too. Evocative and intriguing lyrics as always. Sitar is a nice touch. Vocals and guitar good as always. I like it. Regards, Leon

In some of the native "Eskimo" languages there is something like 39 different words for the word white. Viridian is such a beautiful color, it's a shame to just call it green. Man, I love this song and the fact that you and Robert are once again bringing up the spirit level. I dig the sitar, but, man, your guitar soars and steals the show. This song is out of this world. Robert your singing is superb. What a wonderful sound. What a good team.

fj Thanks so much Floyd for checking out the song. Was a real treat for me for Robert to convert this into a song with lyric and vocal. Really glad you like the song. Robert & Scott Neat collaboration. East meets the West. Cool instrumental choices. Scotts guitar a perfect fit. Lyrics are great, so are the vocals, but I do wish they (vocals) would be a little more upfront. Listens well. Thank you for sharing. Misha
Thanks Misha really glad you liked the song. Thanks for checking it out.

As Scott said:"Robert made some changes to the original track and gave the song this east-west feel"- Scott`s original Stones style instrumental was recent enough and strong enough I made a conscious effort to go in another direction while keeping the guitar melody unchanged. I`d already written lyrics around the colours-from-space-theme after seeing "Viridian" on a business sign and realizing I had no idea what it meant.
Thanks to all for listens and comments!
Robert

This is more than superb. This is, dare I say it, extraordinary. Made me sit up from the first few notes. A beautiful, relevant message, too. Robert's voice is SO sensitive - one of my absolute favourite voices on here. Scott's accompaniment playing is beautiful and unobtrusive, understated, but quietly beautiful, also. The whole song is so beautifully hypnotic, atmospheric, yet direct, sensitive and also relevant, all at the same time. What an achievement.
One of the most beautiful songs to grace this site in ages - and, since the standard on here is always so blooming high, this is quite the compliment, from me. Sincerest congratulations, glad to see you both back on here and working together again. More, please.

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."
