Just listening now, nice mix of genres!
Some smooth jazz meets Kraftwerk and that pad reminds me massively of early 90s Italo House.
‘Something’ keeps saying ‘Head Hunters’ to me as well, could be the percussion as it reminds me of Water Melon Man just a touch.
Nicely done! Would be good to hear a longer version if there is one. :+1::sunglasses::+1:

Thank you, Mat! :pray:

Ma non sono italiano! :smiley:
I’ve heard the Italo House genre but I don’t really know what it is.
I think Lily Jordy’s loop inspired me at the beginning of the summer of 2018.
I did it for my jazz musician friends to show them what could be done with electronic music. They liked it.

I’m currently reading the popular Italian novel “My brilliant friend,” and I admire trumpet player Paolo Fresu, pianist Pierranuzzi, and so may great Italian musicians. I even like gothic metal band Lacuna Coil!
I used to play piano with my father singing “O sole mio” and other operatic songs.

If you’re not too familiar with the genre, here’s a pretty good idea of what i meant, brings back a few old memories lol!

Now it’s clear! I see/hear the link. I was confusing Italo House with Italo disco :crazy_face:
Nice! I missed the Italo House era.

So I was doing Italo House without knowing. Mamma mia!
Like this one from early 2000, 808State.
Probably with Yamaha Yamaha SW1000XG.
An old Soundcloud account of which I lost the password.
The bass is too loud. I can’t find the mix so I can’t remaster.

Thank you, elsparko :pray:
I know you mean it as “well done”.
But I want to reassure those who really work in music: it will never be a job for me.

francoise,
Your song sounds part jazz, and part electronic. Sounds pretty nice! Perhaps you could check out my new song on my latest thread. You can tell me if the new whale photo I took looks French because I was in French Polynesia underwater.

Sure Aaron, I’ll tell you if your whale looks French like the popular french bulldogs :wink:.
It’s an old song with real alto sax. I don’t play sax very often nowadays.
