Chrysalis - This Is What It Is - BaoBou

Description : Now out on streaming and bandcamp as part of the Chrysalis EP

====================
Another funky instrumental. All instruments played live (drums are midi), the recordings have more than a few mistakes but that's how you know it's not AI.

Hope you enjoy!

(btw it's always funny you have to indicate for an instrumental whether it has adult content ;) )

If you have time take a listen and give BaoBou some feedback.

Thank you so much my friend. Chrysalis (I'm sure you knew) is the pupa stage between caterpillar and butterfly. Caterpillars are ugly, fat and hairy, then there is this time you can't see what happens and suddenly we have a beautiful butterfly.

I felt that this is sometimes how we grow as musicians or producers. We eat as much as we can, we learn, we try everything, maybe it's ugly, maybe it's hairy, but the wings of the butterfly are already present.

Sometimes all we need is a bit of time to reconsider, grow, rearrange our ideas, try something new and suddenly the chrysalis opens and a wonderful butterfly comes out.

I'm not that butterfly yet... but who knows what might happen and how I can grow in the future. For now I'll keep eating ;)

Ok BB! The overdubs are spicy. Clarity is key with the full mix you're working with. To sum up your work here in one word FUN. Your joy translated completely. Another great effort.

Enjoying the groove, Baubou.
the recordings have more than a few mistakes but that's how you know it's not AI. haha, I like that perspective. Its a nice reminder that imperfections are often what make something feel real and human.

Hey Bao,
The grooveee!!! of this track is on another level not to mention your talent. I was always impressed with the musical skills you possess, there is nothing more real, exhilarating then hearing instruments played live!...I as a singer find myself having to stress that AI is something I have never and will never use ever, my voice is mine alone and I know how to use it without AI assistance, I have those old-school values and believe if you have it, do/use it naturally...But each to their own. I digress, anyways back to this track, It's a showcase of real talent a bona-fide hit to my ears. Keep up the TOP! Work Kudos!
