April Sky

This is called April Sky because I couldn't think of any other appropriate title!

BiaB style for the string track = Lotus 23
BiaB style for the drums, utility track, and the piano = Chicago Light Soul w Guitar Solo
Tempo - 90 BPM

Piano - Kotakt - preset - 10-clean strings choir emotion (all one patch)
Drusm - Steven Slates' SSD-5
Utility Track - Artura - B-3V - preset - Green Onions
Piano - RT 912 Electric rhythm smooth poppy

I am playing my Squire P-Bass and via my wind controller the Swam Tenor sax

As always all comments are welcomed.


Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

You can't post this yet, it's March 31. laugh

I zeroed in on the bass line. It has right amount of movement for this smooth laid-back tune.

All sounds good!

Relaxing or possibly a sad story of a love lost. I could see Marlo Thomas (That Girl) coming in from an April rain waiting for the elevator and trying to hide her tears.

3dB more on the bass would be nice and I like that sax playing.

As always, great stuff.

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'm glad that you liked it.

Thanx Steve, I actually did have the bass louder but though it was out of balance with the drums. Maybe I was wrong about that.

Hi Mario - I've been kind of rushed lately and not able to listen a lot. This is a welcome break! Nice, smooth relaxing melody that lets me catch my breath. I was impressed by your bass. Like Scott, I liked the movements you put in there. It really helped the song along.

We think the title works well ... especially since we're listening soon after an April hike around the homestead.

We sense it as mellow but not sad.

Per always your performances are excellent!

Enjoyed it,

J&B

Thanx Brad. Bass is an instrument that I like to play, probably because it is so close to a guitar. I'm glad you liked this.

Thanx Dan but in all honesty I am not a MIDI master, just a hacker doing the best that I can with what I have to work with.

"April Sky" is perfect. You can call it Rose and it will sound as sweet. Love the lilting breeze that swoops down and carries us up to the beautiful sky. That "sax" is super. You can call it "April Sky" and it seems more about your listeners looking up to enjoy it.


Enjoy whatever happens!
