"Spring Chicken" (Edit: Mastered with Ozone on September 28, 2023) 

I can't help it, I just have to keep playing these songs. 

We had a minor "setback" with the spring here in the north in that after a good start we've had a kind of cold spell for quite some time (minus degrees at nights, +5 Celsius in the day time). But as of today May 9th 2023 the spring finally is of more permanent nature:)! So in order to properly celebrate the development I tried to make a little song partly in late 70's and early 80s' style. I used Rhodes sound and the Native Instruments Abbey Road 70s Drummer (the drum beat is mine and some of the fills are from the 70s Drummer) and also some synth sounds that were used in the late 70's (especially the CS-80 sound), and I layered the synth sounds with e.g. the DX7 and MKS-20 soundscapes. The awesome bass is the Scarbee Jay-Bass (late 70's Jazz Bass) software instrument.

The keyboard part consists of a layer of the Scarbee EP-88S (Rhodes), the new Rhodes V8 Pro (Rhodes Mk8) and "The Twenty" from the UVI Key Suite Digital (cf. MKS-20). In addition I used a DX7 lead sound played with Yamaha Montage and also the somewhat newer UVI Six-12 from the "Ob Legacy" software instrument collection ("Ob-12 Brass" sound) and layered them with the lead sound I made with the Arturia CS-80 V. The strings come from the UVI Orchestral Suite.

This track is in a way a humble tribute to the great composer and the best bassist off all times Mr. Jaco Pastorius, who's signature song was the tune "Chicken" by Mr. Pee Wee Ellis.

This track is also a kind of tribute to the wonderful Casio PT-50 which was my first ever keyboard and which I will always remember. The Casio had some lovely demo songs which had "the breeze" in them, meaning e.g. that they felt like the warm summer wind on a beautiful summer day.
