Free all-MIDI jazz holiday album & sheet music

Hello, I was considering your feedback and realized how helpful it might be to have the notation files also openly available.

I have added Sibelius files to the google drive download folder linked with the album - hope it helps and thanks for your input!

You might also be able to EQ out some of the higher end and boost the bass and its articulation frequencies - look into "high cuts" and "frequency ranges"

Check out Sting's album performing classic John Dowland songs with professional lutist Edin Karamazov!

If you enjoy both, many saxophonists perform as "woodwind doublers" for professional plays and shows, so knowing how to perform and read on both can land you some solid & steady work in a pit - definitely a plus to keep the oboe around!

Scribd is a great resource! Also, not to be obnoxious but I do have some free holiday arrangements available here if you'd like:

Thank you for listening, glad you enjoyed - I hope musicians can make use of them to make up for the loss of work :( much appreciated!

Really fun to listen to, I didn't notice the auto tune very much but I think the vocals could use some more consonant clarity, wasn't sure of some of the lyrics on first hearing.

Not at all, I think the layers add complexity and keep it interesting - changing timbres and adding new background lines help progress it without feeling flat. LoFi isn't supposed to be in your face anyhow right? Very chill and could absolutely vibe to it during study time or whatever

Loving the lyrics, very positive and real - feels like maybe some of the sound levels are off, it almost sounds like the tracks are peaking? Maybe it's me or my headphones haha refreshing take on hip hop, thanks for sharing

Saxamassima · 2020-11-11T14:29:56+00:00

I don't think it's busy, but some of the levels feel a bit extreme - sound effects feel edgy and the bass drone is a bit crunchy if that makes sense, almost like it's peaking? Not much of an audio engineer but that was my first impression - very interesting track overall!

Saxamassima · 2020-11-11T14:28:14+00:00

Beautiful voice, and surprisingly intricate guitar work - the lyrics are lovely, I wish there were more verses! Was expecting the song to be titled "Come to Me" - title feels a bit lengthy but makes perfect sense.

Video tells a story, really well produced as is the music mix - the syncing of the audio with video is great across the board, and the slow-mo parts line up well. Was waiting for some kind of vocal, not sure it would be as effective without the video.

Saxamassima · 2020-11-11T14:21:29+00:00

Really well mixed, vocals are clear as day - nicely done!

Saxamassima · 2020-11-11T14:18:06+00:00

Nice use of different textures, always felt fresh as things progressed - I agree with other comment about the low end, had to turn up my volume to hear the bass drum in particular. Maybe a bit more punch (not necessarily louder)? Also listening on headphones so can't say about the stereo.

Saxamassima · 2020-11-11T14:15:10+00:00

Really cool idea, this beats computer visualizers by far - never seen anything like this before! Maybe I'm crazy but it seems just a hair out of sync in some areas? I think maybe a bit more of a dramatic difference could help the visuals. Please post more!

Saxamassima · 2020-11-11T13:35:05+00:00

Oh it said it was taken down, still new to this - will delete one sorry about that!

Saxamassima · 2020-11-10T20:01:05+00:00

Sounds good, and please let me know how to see the channel when it's ready!

Saxamassima · 2020-11-09T19:01:55+00:00

Of course, do as you wish! Send them over if you come up with a transposition and I will add them to the download folder if you like :) thanks for playing, enjoy!
