I think you are making good progress and it is a fun trip to listen to what you are doing musically. Keep on keeping on, as we used to say in the seventies.

Thank you for your positive review TM. And glad you enjoyed this.
There is so much to explore in music in general and BiaB in particular.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

I really like the chord progression here, so mellow and nostalgic mood. I have many "almost finished" songs with just the progression, but it and the BIAB instrumentation almost tell together how the melody should be. I can almost "hear" it in your song too, so it is like letting the listener build it in his/her mind. The ending melody part strengthens the effect I had, so I guess it would be quite straightforward to fill in the rest of the melody also.
Lovely instrumentation, too. Effective bassline. The held guitar and the piano are highlights. Bells are nice addition.

I echo all the comments made about the bass line. Engaging composition. Yes, John's piano is splendid.

Nice composition on this one, held my interest throughout the piece.

My favorite part is your bassline, very melodic, definitely the star IMHO.

Good work!

"One bad apple" can ruin the whole relationship. Apples and Oranges might actually be better. HaHA.

Man, I really love the bass in here. The whole song is an excellent "work in progress" as you say. I like the exchange between piano and organ. I really enjoyed the whole composition, Steve.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Well done!

Really a nice relaxing composition.

My (Bud) years on the bass was supporting vocals/instrumental melodies with the notion of never competing. My rare solos were not particularly melodic ... mostly just some slap walking. All meaning I like your movement toward a melodic bass. My absolute favorite guy in that arena is Jack Bruce on his fretless.

Pardon the babble .. we enjoyed it.

Pleasant major 7th-y sort of progression.

The bells are distinctive, and interesting.

The tradeoff between the various instruments with the lead melody going from a slow synthy instrument to the piano was a nice contrast.

And... more accordion, please! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Loved the instrumentation on this BT. Also love experimental tunes. Put up some chords play with some styles and out pops a very cool original tune. The software is so inspirational. All my songs are done this way. Loved the bass lines. Well done

Hey Scott, glad you liked this.

And I totally agree, this software is very inspirational and when coupled with external instruments and MIDI the possibilities are endless!
