I love chords more than any other single attribute of music. I love BIAB for allowing me to indulge my love with chords I normally don't (or can't) play easily on acoustic. This piece is full of 6ths (and their cousins, 13ths). 6ths, to me, are the somewhat happier versions of minor chords. There's a musical reason for that, I think...but regardless, that's the "emotion" that comes through for me. The style is one of the older multi-styles...something I really didn't know existed before this project started a couple of months ago. As usual, if I start to use something, I'm going to overuse it. Looking forward to the new set--multi styles #1. Listen, if you've a mind to. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Glyd ****** Song Summary ************* Key=G , Tempo 75, Length (m:s)=4:03 No intro. 36 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 36.

Tangmo,
I enjoyed your chord journey. Your description made me pay attention to the sounds of the chord (more than usual).
The BAND sounds good. Well mixed.

Hi Tangmo ...
I agree with Floyd ... a very nice journey down "Chord Avenue".
And I agree with you about chords. For me they set the overall mood as the job of almost everything else is compliment the chordal structure.
This is a bit of an unexpected production from you - more energetic and spirited. I like it! I was particularly delighted by the the variations ... really, really nice! This is one of my very favorites from you - much enjoyed!
Take care and be safe. Have a terrific holiday season!

That is remarkably richly textured and a testimony to
the power of BiaB ... in talented hands.
The chord structure is a bit above our obviously more simplistic
chord paygrade but they sound wonderfully moody. Very nice.
Great mix too.
Enjoyed it!
J&B

Great work! Interesting expansion on your harmony pattern and use of the multi-style. I especially liked the start/stop nature of the track, as if it took musical breaths between hard-working sections. Enjoyed it!

Very cool composition!! I love chords too! Since I got BIAB years ago, I discovered many chords I'd never used before (2s, 6s, 9, 13, etc.), including one of my faves.....the m7b5! This is a great sounding piece!! How did you process the drums? Really BIG sound! Take care. Greg

Thanks, Floyd, Alan, Scott and Tano.
Bud and Janice. 6ths are a common vocal harmony, so it's likely Janice has sung them, even if by ear. Here's a thought. Make a copy of an older BB song and change or add 6 to every chord entered. What's the "emotion" to you? No better way to experiment than to use this great tool.
Greg, I remember finding a m7b5 on my old Casio keyboard which would try to tell you what chord you were playing when you held down more than two keys. I "heard" it in my head, sounded it out and thought I had invented something. I processed the drums by making three copies (well, two copies and the original). Then I cheated and went to Izotope Neutron and selected a different drum-kit preset for each, mostly paying attention to the EQ. One was designed to highlight the kick, one the snare and toms, the last the hi-hats and, I'm assuming, other cymbals. I found a balance between the three tracks levels that worked for me and left them alone for the most part.

Hey Tangmo,
I listened to this the other day but didn't have time to comment.
Cool stuff! Your experiments always end up being both interesting and musical.
I often use 6th chords when playing major key blues, especially for the one chord, never tried using a m6 in a minor key blues though, maybe I should.
Good to see you back here again, I've missed you and your music.
Hey, I came across Painted Son the other day, or more accurately, he came across me. Do you remember him from AP? He started following me over on SC. He has quite a few songs uploaded, haven't had a chance to give them a spin yet though.
Best to you and yours for the holidays.
