could i have the midi file for this?
Author Comments
I'm happy with what I just composed, I had to do it in a couple of hours, because I had a busy few weeks with college and bills, but finally I gave me the time to finish it, this time I brought a very peculiar style, a style of mysterious jazz, or secret agents, spies or whatever this sub genre of jazz is called, to give dynamism to the music I played with the measures, so there are parts in which the 3/4 and 4/4 are harmonically related, I think it generates a 7/8 nose .... I also decided to integrate epic music together with jazz, since I want to express the agility and dexterity in an epic field in the 60s.
Enjoy it!

Why would you want that midi?
Somehow, I forgot to post my review here earlier. I apologize.

I like the warm strings at the beginning. The pace of the chord progression is a bit fast at first, but it gets easier to follow the progression later on in the piece. Love the flair for the dramatic starting at :22 and how the cinematic elements are interspersed with a sultry intrigue (e.x., the riff at :29). The rich harmonies and solos are great, but I think you start overusing the transition at 1:14 after a while, and I also wanted to hear more of the drums in the mix throughout. I think my favorite element of the piece is the whimsical mood - “unlocked access,” combined with the sound design, suggests a James Bond-like adventure to me, which is something I can easily picture as I’m listening to the piece. I’m very impressed you made this in only “a couple of hours.” I also applaud you for the bold - yet seamlessly fitting - decision to conclude the piece with instruments that otherwise don’t really appear in the rest of the track (i.e., the vibes and guitar). Strong work yet again, FJOB! ^_^

Sound like movie credits tbh but it's very good
this made me bust (huge jazz fan)
This piece is a bit quiet, and I still think there might be a bit much reverb, only by a smidge of a few percents on dry wet. I have to say I love your writing and arrangement. I still think there could be a way to coax more varied, natural articulations out of that trumpet and mix it better over the rest of the ensemble. For its solo lines, it's suprisingly out there, loud, and a bit dry sounding.
OH I HEAR THE BOND RIFFS YOU SLY SNEAKY LITTLE DOUBLE AGENT YOU
This gets a 10/10 arrangement from me, and about a 7/10 on mix. I'm quite torn on how to score it, as I'm a massive Bond fan. Great work!
