Wrong Planet ( jazz )

Hi all,
I used Band-in-a-box 2018 to make this abstract-jazz song. I hope you like it.
It took 3 days to make it. I thought it was going to have a chorus & Verses; but it had a mind of it's own

It's on my SoundCloud channel : User : LazyPianoMan
: Song: Wrong Planet (jazz)

sounds really good. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Would have sounded even better if you used more sustain pedal in certain areas and replaced those Rhodes and piano samples with actual good ones (for example, I use Keyscape, it's a game changer and imo you should try it out)

just my 2 yen. Keep it up!

Well, I will checkout Keyscape ... my, song definitely needs engineering for sure... it was mostly just an arrangement & exploration. of abstracts. Thanks for your comment

It seems to me you played most of it with a MIDI keyboard, right? not just painted it in the DAW...

source midi & wav file name: more grids

I did an 187 bar keyboard improv. Reduced it to 133 bars. Added sample soloists, then reduced to 82 bars. Most of the "self piano reflex grid melody was replaced with the rodes instrument by Band in a box as a counterpoint; then I added soloists.

The link provides the midi file & soloists file wav. " moreGrids(dated) files

The Scale Chord Grid Cheat Sheet forces BIAB to read imported midi files more accurately; which is my current goal. The crappy playing was me....lol... cause I am just playing the ridged cheat sheet for BIAB to make more accurate progression & soloists.

It's my hack into BIAB method...
I wish I did play that well.... though I am getting better than ideas 8)
