Bill is an under-rated musician/composer, and an under-rated part of Snarky Puppy. He contributes a lot more to their sound than people realize. Love Bill!!
my favorite composition from Bill Laurence from what I've heard, gotta love Sput and Michael League bringing some great groove into this beautiful tune.
It's our own faults really. The fact that crap like Justin Bieber continues to be perpetuated and sold is not because of some heinous plot by the music industry and recording companies. It is because we continue to BUY it! If we bought this instead of more Bieber, then the execs would figure it out damn fast and these guys would be making the execs their millions instead of our current generation of pop stars. But we don't. So the best thing you can do now? Share this music around and get folks to buy the tracks and albums. Prove that this kind of music can be profit-making for the execs and eventually we'll see more gold in this vein.
It's been over two weeks now since this was first posted to UA-cam so we've all had time to cogitate, evaluate and appreciate and I am sure that all right-thinking people will agree with me that this is the best ever piece of recorded music ever! I, for one, cannot wait for the extended 12" version.
Deep sound, great strings arrange and accompaniment, Michael's bass is really energetic, as well as Robert drums and finally another acoustic piano solo worthy of a real master.... Once again, you guys are rising the excellence level very very high...!!!!!
This is game-changing! The arrangements, the textures, what a mix, what performances! Just no words. This makes me so happy from the inside! Thanks for this guys! Massive shout from India!
Can not get enough of these tracks. Bill is 2 for 2 for me right now. Keep droppin' 'em, man. With a group of such talented artists....Oh man, whats next?!
holy shit, u guys never fail at delivering amazing performances/compositions/mixes/videos. it's always a pleasure to watch. i'd kill for a snarky puppy/michael league related projects show in brazil; ur growing a pretty solid fanbase over here!
gostei da caracteristica deste artista, da forma como conduz a musica fazendo-a crescer, tocante em nosso interior, me provoca uma vontade de viajar em silencio, mas numa auto-estrada num carro bom, porém possante e em vez de voar, correr ouvindo o som.
Jordan Zimmerman There's definitely some phase shift going on there at least at one point on the drums. Could be plug ins. Could be outboard Eventide or something done at the time of tracking. One never knows as a listener. But it's cool and done well. That's what matters.
Positive, as I've used them. We've used 20" as well. When it's about the sound, there's no rules. He generally uses 16"s, but in the studio, it's no limits.

Jay Charles same for nate werth
Simon Grove brought me here. Also, Michael League is amazing!
Amsterdam, NY, Dallas-Fort Worth, Bill Laurance always has had a special link to neverending cities. This is my favorite piece of his catalog.
Lush! #NextLevelJazz #Flint #BillLaurance
Bill Laurance is surely one of the most music loving people of our time. He listens!
This album is fucking amazing
TheFlomboy absolutely....
my favorite composition from Bill Laurence from what I've heard, gotta love Sput and Michael League bringing some great groove into this beautiful tune.

Snarky/ Bill....”Never ending pleasure......awesome players, sound,video production.....true masters 🙏🎶🤩

Deep sound, great strings arrange and accompaniment, Michael's bass is really energetic, as well as Robert drums and finally another acoustic piano solo worthy of a real master.... Once again, you guys are rising the excellence level very very high...!!!!!
Michaels bassplaying is so damn funky, insane composition!
Even listening on my ipad i could tell the bass tone was sick :)
Joe Murray Right? That bass one is miles beyond steezy.
i wanted to write something clever about this piece. but im actually lost for words. just wow...
This is game-changing! The arrangements, the textures, what a mix, what performances! Just no words. This makes me so happy from the inside! Thanks for this guys! Massive shout from India!
The outside world, as heard from the womb - with piano solo. A simply amazing piece of music.
The creativity and vision is endless in this piece. Amazing.
Capolavoro! Ciao Bill, ci rivediamo a Roma.
Totally surreal. This will be on repeat for quite some time.
Can not get enough of these tracks. Bill is 2 for 2 for me right now. Keep droppin' 'em, man. With a group of such talented artists....Oh man, whats next?!
Loving your profile pic, man
Luke Zuniga same to you man! Bloooooooo!
Absolute musical perfection. I've never heard anything quite like it.
You got some great composition chops, Bill! You and Michael are the new dynamic duo!
So Mondays and Fridays just got their theme music and i love it...that snare ahhh
Digging Bill Laurence's writing, very different from the usual Snarky Puppy style but amazing nonetheless.
Killer drum sound, very nice all around! damn
Yes!
Amok Time !!!!!
Chills phenomenal composition
one of a kind.. maybe they can make a new genre in jazz world..
holy shit, u guys never fail at delivering amazing performances/compositions/mixes/videos. it's always a pleasure to watch. i'd kill for a snarky puppy/michael league related projects show in brazil; ur growing a pretty solid fanbase over here!

Rene Wirtz what an awesome coincidence! already got my ticket haha

First time I've ever seen Mike with a 5 string bass
+Josh Jones Really? It's the same bass from the first Family Dinner album.
Awesome landscapes, Bill Laurance :)

UNDERRATED
Reminds me a lot of Mondo Grosso... Lovely stuff
terrific.
woah, beautiful song.
So so so beautiful
Fantastic !!!!
Breathtaking !
Wow amazing! And that voice effect wow!
smooth solo, pleasure to listen to!
These guys make the Best Road Tip music! Or should I say, Journey music? I think I rather hear this on a flight!
So cool
gostei da caracteristica deste artista, da forma como conduz a musica fazendo-a crescer, tocante em nosso interior, me provoca uma vontade de viajar em silencio, mas numa auto-estrada num carro bom, porém possante e em vez de voar, correr ouvindo o som.
Great music!
Film scoring!! ¡Bellísima música!
I get chills at 1:27 and 2:15.. love that voice effect
D I Wonder What Exactly He’s Saying.
Wow! So inspiring!
fine art very moving and sincere appreciated greatly with me now
Good
Loving it !!! Sweet choon .....
Great sounds!
beautiful
I love this drum beat!!
2:32 can't be a time signature from Earth, they must have brought it with them from the Mothership.
it's 6/8
LOL
I'll admit, it's hard to keep up with them while keeping this time
Beautiful
Just incredible & spine tingling
Amazing
Nice!!
When and where will you tour the US?
Genial
wow..... :D
Alien music
Excelente !
WELL YESSS!!!
What is the time signature at 2:32? Anybody?
The whole song is in 6 (or 3) - 4 + 2 - as far as I can tell.
+Jordan Zimmerman To me it sounds more like : 4 over 3 into 2+2 (or 5) descending lightly into a 3/2 (8)
Can you explain a little bit further? This has bugged me for a long time!
fine soul art trance heart throng newness dawn
This is Alien music is good
Can anybody hazard a guess as to what lyric he's singing into the vocoder?
Would love to know!
Is that the same string section from Tell Your Friends? The curly haired lady looks familiar.
that one violinist looks like a bond villain. villaininist.
Can anyone explain how they triggered/layered/processed the drums on the solo section?
I don't hear layering. But, it sounds like the drums are heavily processed. But, notice he has lots of tape on the drums to get a dead sound.
Jordan Zimmerman There's definitely some phase shift going on there at least at one point on the drums. Could be plug ins. Could be outboard Eventide or something done at the time of tracking. One never knows as a listener. But it's cool and done well. That's what matters.
What bass is that? Not his usual P bass and I like it.
Ils sont fous…
What kind of hi hats was Sput playing on?
Top cymbal is a 18" Soundcaster Fusion Trash Crash, can't remember what's on the bottom, sorry.
JT
Jason Thomas Are you sure its an 18" & not a 16"?
Positive, as I've used them. We've used 20" as well. When it's about the sound, there's no rules. He generally uses 16"s, but in the studio, it's no limits.
Which hi-hats is Sput using?!
If I'm not wrong those are two crash as hihat check there's a vid where he talks about that custom drumset
So is Snarky Puppy no more?
Lol
So 5/6 is what your saying XD
