In The Mist

In today's world with the Coronavirus running rapid and closing everything down it feels like we are living in a mist and not seeing too far into the future.

BiaB Style = Pat M Slow - New-Age, Country, Ja
Tempo - 65

I deleted the drum and bass tracks.
I replaced the drum track with GrooveMonkee MIDI drum loops.

Drums = SSD5 - Deluxe Jazz Brushes - FX - Waves - Maserati drums - preset OH

Piano - Kontakt - My Piano 1.1 - FX - Waves - JJP Strings + Keys - Preset - Piano-Piano

Strings = Amadeus - Full String Ensemble - FX - EZ Mix-preset - keyboard strings

I am playing the:
fretless bass - FX- Amnplitube - SVX - preset Pop Chorus and Waves H-Comp - preset Bold Bass

Guitar - Jay Turser Jazz Box - FX - Amplitube - Fender - preset Jazz Twin and Waves Vocal Rider - preset Smooth.

Glockenspiel Xylophone - FX - Raum Reverb and Waves Vocal Rider - preset Smooth. This is the first time that I have played this instrument.


I got banned from Weight Watchers for dropping a bag of M&Ms on the floor.
It was the best game of Hungry Hippos I've ever seen!

A very smooth and mellow. Nice. It sounded just like the mist looks.

Very calming and relaxing, we all need this. Like a rainy day when you can sleep late. Beautiful xylophone, reminds me of misty rain.

Hi Mario,

Xylophone sounds great! Love the conversation it is having with your guitar. Guitar sounds great too, as does the bass.

Nice mood to this piece, enjoyed.

This is one of those wonderful mixes where you can hear little nuances not noticed the first time through. Definitely worth many many listens.
Really nice guitar work. A cool relaxing feel that can lift the spirit. Thanks, Mario.


Enjoy whatever happens!

We read it.

We don't have a clue how you do all this.

The preceding statement is irrelevant given how cool we think it is smile

Your use of and talent in using all of that technology never ceases to amaze.

The xylophone is superb! It works really well with your guitar.
