A short piece of pop song expressing my love to my cats or the cat in general. I included the descriptions of three kinds of lovely actions of them. I hope you could imagine what they are doing.

https://soundcloud.com/hirokata1121/homage-to-cats

I had done most of the work using BIAB, and used Sonar X3 for final processing such as assignment of instruments to MIDI tracks from Rapture Pro, splitting the melody part into four sub-parts to assign four different instruments to it and so on.

I hope you like this song.

The styles used in BIAB:
-MOONRIV.STY (Pop Waltz- Straight-8ths) and
UKMOOD.STY (UKMood -Acoustic 6/8 Rock).

Easy to listen to. Mix is good, but I noticed a distinct tempo change at the 40 second mark by about -12BPM. Maybe this was intentional?

Sergio,

Thank you for your comment. We have two cats now. They are so cute, and every movement or action of them makes us smile and feel happy. I am sure you agree:-)

Hi,

Thank you for your comment. Yes, that was intentional. The tempo of the song is 150, but those of the parts describing cats' actions are changed to 135, 135 and 130 respectively.

Maybe it was not a good idea?

Hiroshi

Hi Hiroshi,
I enjoyed listening to your song. Very well done. I have had two cats in my lifetime (mostly dogs) and both have been a joy to be around.

Hi Sonny,

Thank you for your comment. Since my childhood, I always had a dog. After my wife and I had lost our last dog a couple of years ago, we had a cat for the first time, and we were completely converted to cat lovers smile.

Greg,

Thank you for your comment. I have two cats; Mari and Sara. Both are Japanese names though they resemble English names Mary and Sarah smile.
I posted two videos to Youtube with the titles of "Mari's theme" and "Sara's theme" a year ago, and this song were originally made for the videos.

Happy New Year, too!

Hiroshi
