I Lean to You

Post by jeanette_c »

Hey hey, I'd like to share my latest piece:
https://youtu.be/q-MrtHBBUa8
OGG version:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/q7hkmffdpt9c7 ... to_you.ogg
This is a jazz/big band ballad. Realised with LinuxSampler and DrumGizmo. I used my old commercial BOB Orchestra Brass library with the SampleTekk Yamaha 7CG piano and the free Rickenbecker bass SFZ.
It was inspired mainly by a track from the Sunday Night Orchestra call Light in green and some of the big band incidental music of my favourite radioplays. :) Though if you look up either or both you will see that the inspiration was used freely. :)
This was the first time I tried my hand at anything properly "big band-like" in a jazzy context, so it ended up as a mixture of jazz and my own melting pot of styles.
I hope you enjoy it and can relax with it.
Best wishes, Jeanette

Very nice music, lovely atmosphere of sounds, wide palette of styles and melodic pictures.
Music have retro-taste, but it no feel as old. May be it hi tech retro from the future...

It reminds me of Angelo Badalamenti's style, which is very unique. And this track is also very unique, as it sounds like a mix of classical, jazz-fusion, lounge, ambient and minimalism. Liked it very much!

The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common. [Acts 4:32]

Very good! Sounds like a group effort, this composition. Stunning!

A quite unusual track, and definitely not what I expected when it started! I like the last part more of the rest, from when it gets quieter at ~ 4:00m (a Hammond would have sounded amazing playing that part!) to the delicate piano outro. The first part is nice rhythmically, but I'm not fond of the solo brass sounds, which I feel took me out of the track a bit. Still a really groovy track though!

Thank you @Rainmak3r ! Yes, the brass isn't up to standard. It's an old library. It can work well in an arrangement. But for this piece it had to be in such an exposed position.
Thanks for your kind and open words. Good feedback is always appreciated.
Best wishes, Jeanette
