I have been a fan of Sade's moody but melodic music even since I heard her first recording of Smooth Operator. So I wrote this in a similar style. Using my Motif XF I created a backing using a Jazz Drum Kit, Dark Bass and Classical Guitar all with appropriately selected Arps for the two variations I needed. I also used a GM Voice from the Motif- Crystal- for one lead and the Breathy Tenor Sax SA2, Jazz Trumpet SA2 and Live Strings from the Tyros 3 as other leads. Finally I selected a Chorus DX on the Tyros 3 for my left hand chords. Writing the work came relatively quickly but it took quite a while to get the balance, mix, effects (proper Reverb) for each part. I can say the Motif makes it easy but because there are so many different Arps and effects to choose from it just takes a while deciding from the wealth of choices. Hope you enjoy it.
Lost In You

VERY TASTY! I particularly like Sade, too!

Laid back jazz is my preference to play. I'd feel comfortable playing this piece.

Very cool. I'd order a Martini if I drank Martini's. Good work

Thanks Russ and Bill. Laid back Jazz is my preference too. I've written many such compositions and in time I will post a few more.

Great composition. Definitely a Martini song - not for Margaretta drinkers.

Cheers,

Gary cool

For cool, martini-lovers here's some chill I found on You Tube played on a Pa3x.

Nice song! I really enjoyed the sax, trumpet and guitars. Do you ever play out live with the Tyros and Motif?
