Office Bossa Nova
Frigolito
This song turned up in my head and out from my keyboard while I was installing Microsoft Office 2010. In this track I have combined three softwares: Sibelius 4 with Kontakt Player Gold (for rhodes, strings, harp and arrangement), Audacity (for recording my whistling) and Audiotool (for drums, bass, mixing and effects). Enjoy!

Sorry I wasn’t more clear. I mean that the rhodes feels too rigid. It plays exactly on the beat, and that makes it feel a little out of place when it solos. The comping in the background sounds good, but when the rhodes is playing the melody, it should stray just a little bit from being right on the beat. This is called “laying back,” or “vocal style,” because it feels – laid back. And f you want to hear what I mean, listen to how Frank Sinatra phrases his songs.

wow!! That is really great awesome stuff and your skills are superb on sound quality and I am an instant follower, even though my stuff is much different and darker. I mean 2100 plays that’s insane.
oedipax
I’m telepathic. ;) heheh.
Frigolito
Thanks so much guys! But I am kind of confused… It seems like oedipax agreed to tornsage before he posted his comment. How is that possible? XD
tornsage

oedipax
I’m with tornsage on that! I love this song. You are amazing! :D
{:::Dïzäyä::Ränkönë:::}
could also been untitled Elevator Bossa Nova…
Frigolito
Thanks! :)
@NoirGreyson: Thanks for your comment. What exactly do you mean with loosening up the rhodes? Are they too dominant?
NoirGreyson
Very chill, very grooving. I feel like it would be cooler if you improvised some more of those bridges/ B sections. It gets kind of annoying hearing the same 2-5-1 licks over an over again XD. The sounds are together. The only thing I’d say could be changed is maybe loosening up a bit on the rhodes; you could probably lay back a little more.

I’m jealous of your jazz ability ;)
arche3.0
Just wonderful :-)
Frigolito
Thanks again! :)
@cupidon: Yes, the beat is a machiniste with loopmaster samples. I put modulation at the volume and the low-pass filter to make it more "living". I also set shuffle to 56% for the same purpose.
@Bluedude: No, I whistled in the right key and I didn’t need to make any pitch corrections, but I actually made a little timing correction at the beginning…
Box of Pandore
very cool :)
andremoda
yeah, and a sunshineflood fill my room :)
Bluedude
Whistling is really fun. It took me a while to figure out..but now I’m pretty good. Did you have to transpose to get the tune right?
cupidon
sond like a keybord set up song ? did you compose the beat ? love the whistle :)

You never fail to create new, exciting and musically interesting tracks! You are a truly talented musician. :)
Syntax
Well, I can’t whistle whatsoever so I’m jealous. :P
Frigolito
@Akimbo: Naw, thank you, you are very kind! Dizzy Gillespie is a hell of a jazz trumpet player and I am just an amateur whistler…
Frigolito
@oedipax: Ok, bossa nova tracks… Someone told me that this reminds of “Girl From Ipanema” by Antonio Carlos Jobim. He is probably the most famous bossa nova composer of them all so I recommend you to listen to him. :)
Akimbo
man all i can say is you are to whistling what Dizzy Gilepse is to trumpet
oedipax
Hehe. Special tune and congrats on the feature! This makes me want to check out more Bossa Nova tracks. Suggestions? :)

yafee?
That’s cool man!!! :)
Frigolito
Thanks guys, actually the whistling sounded like crap before I added the reverb to it but now I find it enjoyable. :)
r4c7
Your a good whistler. I could never be able to whistle like that. This could be used as elevator music (no offense intended) because of its complexity, but it is calm and good as background music.
Olaf
I love the whistling
Olaf
Man you make brilliant music (:
DeathRamp
This is awesome (:
