Tunnel To The Mysterious Kingdom

The Tunnel to the Mysterious Kingdom is enticing. It beckons you to enter, but what is on the other side? No one knows as no one has ever returned from the Mysterious Kingdom.

BiaB Style - Kulper Ambient Indie folk
Tempo - 50 BPM

I deleted the bass, guitar, and drums
Piano - Kontakt - Pure Jazz Vibes and EXKeys2 - Dream Machine - MK VII Dreams
Utility track - Snthmaster2 - Pad 80's Mystery Arc and Kontakt - DW Heavenly

I am playing my Squire P-Bass, my Jay Turser Jazz box guitar, and via my breath and keyboard controllers the Swam Barocco flute.

As always all comments are welcomed.

Hopefully you can read this as I’m writing from the tunnel. Oddly cell coverage still is present.
I will soon be posting a new song so here's hoping I'll be the first to return ...
just couldn't resist exploring.

Man, this is really a great ambient vibe. Slow, mesmerizing but with enough cool things happening to keep one toally engaged.
That flute! And those bass notes offer great accents to the feel. Fine work on the ax also.

Excellent,

J&B

Mario,

Mysterious indeed, but also so beautiful...

You have an outstanding touch with those controllers - simply amazing. Mix is lush and perfect.

Loved it!

Hi, Mario.

Nice sleepy-feel tune.

All the instruments worked nicely.

Mario, cool tune! Love the harmonic flow and that chromatic descending bass line. Am guessing that's the Synthmaster providing the ambient pulses--it really sounds great. Nice one!

Nice. Relaxing.
Good mix.
Well played.

Nice relaxing sound, and I especially like what you're doing with the bass, those descending sequences sound fantastic.
Well done!

Yes super relaxing!!

Your bass is great as is the Jazz Box work.

Thanx Janice and Bud. I did receive your message however it was quite scrambled like this, hop$&Y&E$ you can $%&YF this, etc. Luckily my my decipher code ring from the Mysterious Kingdom allowed me to to read it.

Thanx so much Ray. Sometimes a part just comes to me and that is what happened with the bass line.

Hi Mario.

Once again you manage to capture musical ambience in sensational ways.
This is beautiful listening.
I love the Synthmaster effect, the bass and your flute playing is mesmerising.
This is definitely "beautiful music".

All the best,
--Noel

Everyone of your song is a tunnel to the mysterious kingdom and I'm not sure if I've ever come back, but you seem to have returned and brought its magic, and on every visit you bring more of that magic to us. This is just excellent with melody sections that are out of this ordinary world. The flute, the bass and the guitar are painting something extra-ordinary, and they blend with other instruments seamlessly. This is very creative and enticing, an instrumental that tells a mesmerizing story, no words needed.

Man Mario, this is really good. I love the melody and the progression. The instrumentation is perfect, and it's all mixed so well. Very Pro sounding, loved the entire journey.

Thanx Brad I appreciate your comments.

You are so good at mixing magic into your creations, Mario. This is a lovely scene in a movie --so many applications. I agree with Janne that you always bring us to this Mysterious Kingdom, and the adventure is always different and always a pleasure. I'm rminded of Larry Carlton's work on Against All Odds.

Thanx Marty. I wish I was as good as Larry!
