Mercy Me

I'm just having a little fun.

BiaB style - Hip Hop 4 - Funky hip hop Groove
Tempo - 95 BPM

I deleted the guitar, strings, bass, and utility track.
Piano - Keys of the 70's - preset EP. I added the chorus.
Drums - Steven Slate's SSD-5
Percussion - Kontakt - Brio
Note that I modified the BiaB tracks to better fit the song.

I am playing the bass guitar (Squire P-Bass), lead guitar (SX Tele), and via my keyboard controller the Swam jazz flute. Why the keyboard and not the wind controller you ask? Because I was having a mild bout of Covid and didn't want to contaminate the wind controller's mouthpiece. I am now over it.

Mario,

Sounds great! Love the jazz flute sound and the interplay with your guitar.

Feels like a late night at the jazz club!

First of all I’m glad the Covid was mild. You do some amazing work with midi. The flute sounds great. I enjoyed the jam, Tom

Cool sound and rhythm. A different territory than what I've heard from you lately. All sounds good, especially that Tele.

Mario ...

I always enjoy your little impromptu jams and and "having fun" cuts. You're very creative, and I love the diversity of your music. Glad the COVID was mild, and you're over it. Di and I both had a moderate bout about 5 or 6 weeks ago. I'm fine - it further exacerbated Di's health issues, though. She's struggling quite a bit these days.

That was a really cool listen!

Best to you.

Alan

Quite a complicated sounding tune, Mario.
Nicely worked out.

Thanx so much Bob. I'm a big fan of Swam VSTis. I wish I had more money to buy them all.

Thanx Al. I pray that Di does improve. I know how you feel as my wife is having some health issues and it is hard watching.

Thanx Vic. I could not get those stops in BiaB so I had to do them in my DAW. Thanx God for copy and paste!

Exactly what I would enjoy at a local coffee shop or pub......diversity of sounds and interplay in a relaxed groove that sounds like it was fun to record/play. Brings a smile!

Nice performances on guitar, bass and flute...cool interactions with the flute and guitar.

The mix is excellent with great dynamics. Your light compression (or lack thereof) always serves up open mixes.
And that is right in our mix wheelhouse FWIW!

Fun smile

J&B

Thanx so much Janice and Bud. IIRC I only used compression on the bass track.

That's a cool tune! Reminds me of Steely Dan, my rock gateway to jazz. Everything sounds great, even (especially?) the budget guitar and bass. "It's not the guitar, it's the player" is one of my favorite expressions. And you're a PLAYER! Really enjoyed it!

DC Ron, thanx for this extremely kind review. All of my guitar's and basses, with the exception of my Casio MIDI controller strat, are budget instruments. By necessity I am a bottom feeder.

Mario, Ha! I've been a guitar synth tinkerer for about 30 years. Still have two Casio PG-380s (synth + MIDI) but have owned the very nice MG-510 (MIDI only) as well. The PG-380s are by far the best guitar synth that don't require outboard processing. Am pretty experienced at repairing them, too, 'cause that's what it takes to keep 30 year old technology firing...

Mario,

Nice one. Really like the drum work in this one—really pops. The flute sounds pretty solid as well—front and center, though a little bit of a synth feel to it that, regardless works well. When you say, “I modified the BIAB tracks to better fit the song,” I’m curious about what you mean by that. In what way modified? Would be cool to hear what you did (i.e., learning opportunity for me). Thanks—and good tune!

All my best,

Deej

Hi, Mario.

Fun listen. Glad you're feeling better!

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

Hi Mario.

You really are very talented at creating music that sets ambience.
So many of your works reflect, create and interpret mood.
This piece is no exception. It all come together very nicely.
I hope your covid is done and dusted! I've only had the virus once but it took me a long time to recover fully from it (and that was despite having four vaccinations).

Wishing you well!
--Noel
