BBB (Big Boomer Bænd) (Fedivision 2024)

Lorenzo Miniero

Fedivision is an annual contest of musicians in the Fediverse. It's meant to be lighthearted and a bit of a pun around the popular Eurovision Song Contest. Musicians with a Fediverse presence can submit a sing, and then choose an imaginary country to represent. For my first time ever, I participated in the 2024 edition, representing "Deeppurpland".

For what concerns the song, I had the main theme in mind for quite a while, the seed of an idea for a big band/bluesy kind of uplifting song. The title is a bit of a pun around the words "Big Band" and "Boomer Bends" (a derogatory term younger generation musicians like Tim Henson use to describe older guitar players like me, with our string bending that's so old to them), so I just put them together, since this song definitely has plenty of both!

All recorded, mixed and mastered using open source and free tools: thanks to all the software authors for making this possible!
