Hi all,

my internet connection was broken for some days  >:( ???
It seems to be ok now. In the meanwhile I have done this theme.
It needs more work I know  ;D
I have in mind a kind of "film noir" where the hero is walking alone at night in town, with rain falling and colored neon reflections.
Hope you'll enjoy it  :)

bye

Hey Mag ...
this is MAGnificent !!!

As an *oldie* this takes me right back to the 60's. It reminds me so much of the Graham Bond Organization which featured Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and saxophonist *** Heckstall-Smith.(before Baker and Bruce became famous)
This piece shows the same sort of rhythmic and textural interplay as those guys had back then.

Thanks for sharing this.
 ;)

Hey there Mag...this is an ultra-cool lounge gro0ve! 8)
I was already buzzing from a psychotropic energy drink..so this tune added to the fun. :o :-
Such a snazzy-jazzy style...what craftsmanship!

Cheers,

Yup, enjoyed it very much.... ;D

Excellent work Magma!  :-
What instruments did you use for it?

This is really first class.

The only thing I can say is you don't pay your band members enough - somebody could poach them :D

stop posting in this thread till tuesday 21:00 +1 GMT please ;) haha  :D

Hi all,

thanks for your great feedbacks!!  :;

Unfortunately my connexion is broken again and I write from an internet cafe  ???

Alienz, all is done with a freeware called buzz.
The ePiano is a free vst (Mr Ray21 I think, or maybe Mr Ray73 or Mr Tramp I dont remember).
The sax and trumpet, the bass are free soundfonts, guitar is a vst.
There is no loops or sampled music, it's all written.
Drums are programmed with free one shot samples.

Thanks again!!

Commiserations!

It is a little scary how quickly you can start suffering withdrawl symptoms :o

Thats amazing that those are soundfonts, I was convinced you used some of those expensive gigantic sample based instrument library for that.... :o
Did you use reverb or any other fx?

where can i get those soundfonts mate?

Mag, this was super!

It reminded me of a late night, after hours jazz jam session.

Outstanding use of SF2’s.

cool words mates  ;D

Lot of soundfonts can be founds at :

www.sf2midi.com/

http://hammersound.com/cgi-bin/soundlink.pl

check also the Links section at hammersound and google for soundfonts.

I used a buzz soundfont player called XS-1. It's a plugin created by the Buzz coder.
Check some info about it here :

In this loader you have some fx like reverb chorus, lowpass filter, lfo's and so on :

Now you have up to 16 parts meaning you can load 16 different soundfonts!!

Bye

btw : connexion is still broken  :'(

Cool theme ! I like it. Magma-vibe at its best

Cheers

Cool tune, Mag. I'm particularly impressed by the drumtrack with the brushes. Good work.
