This video features an original song by the masterful trombonist and composer Paul Nowell which is, believe it or not, centered around the concept that Paul expressly limits himself to only using the sounds of Band In The Box as a rhythm section - just featuring one other recording musician: Stephan Oberhoff

This track, however, is just featuring Paul and the BITB Rhythm section. It is a very light orchestration which allows for spatializations as demonstrated here by Stephan.

" In the last 5 years alone, we have seen more and more amazing room simulations show up on the market - as well as the fantastic saturation and transient design plugins which bring us so much closer to create extremely believable 3-D spaces to support our music!

I want to invite you with this video to regard those spaces as 'musical partners' almost like a whole added instrument - to fill out your recording with them as you would with orchestrations.

If you have the space in the production, use more - if you don't have space, use less.

Thanks for watching and stay safe and healthy everyone!
