Hi all,
Here's a french bossa about a lone sailor.
Patrick Fournerat has written the lyrics and he sings.

https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/jai-perdu-la-notion-du-temps

Here's an approximative translation :

By dint of walking a long time
To sail in melee
To follow the flow
I end up tacking
I lost the notion of time

Arrived in the land of rum
I'm going to take a nap
This is the best of serums

Sailing round the globe
With a few knots of wind
The whole ocean for just one man
I'm heading to the east
I lost the notion of time

This shuffles along really nicely and the narrative is cool.
I think the drum transitions are a little busy went they play across the toms.
A very tidy, even and pleasant mix with a similarly nice vocal.


Cheers

Interesting melody and perfectly expressed.

Patrick's vocals are quite remarkable.

I did enjoy this, the sax fills are smooth and unobtrusive, just nice.

Nicely done - the vocals are top notch and fit with the instrumentation perfectly in my opinion. The sax adds a wonderful component too - actually, the production in general here is spot on.

I wouldn't change a thing here - thanks for sharing smile

Hi Chris,

very moody, very appealing flow. Patricks vocal is very good, too. Can see myself in an old-fashioned bar sipping something my doctor warned me of....

GOOD!

Stefan

Very cool acoustic atmosphere, the band itself creates strong images of sea in my mind (beaches, waves, archipelago), so it's perfect fit for the story. Enjoyable vocals, the sax is excellent choice.

This song had a really awesome sound to it, and I really liked the combination of the acoustic with the sax.

Thanks for sharing!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
