October Daydream

You are laying under an old Maple tree during the autumn season. Leaves of various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue, and brown are gently falling to the ground. Your mind is drifting in many directions as you are experiencing an October Daydream.

BiaB style = W-Report Slow Fusion

I deleted the strings and piano tracks.

The drum track stayed as is - Addictive drums - Session Percussion - replaced the kick with a Djembe and the snare with a Timbrau LP
Effect - Waves CLA

The bass track stayed as is - Ample Bass JII

The guitar track was changed to a choir -Play - Symphonic Orchestra -
Alto - oo

JonD is playing the other choir track and the lead via his keyboard controller. I am playing the strings with my keyboard controller.

JonD's choir - Kontakt - Angelic Vocal Pads 6 Mode I+II

JonD's lead = the free Kezone Classic - Basic Electric Piano

Strings - both violins and violas - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter's Diamond Orchestra

Reverb was added to all but the bass and drums - Breverb 2 - Classic Hall - Cathedral

Feel free to comment.

Mario

Really enjoyed this, the Angelic Vocal Pads sound amazing.

where I am it is autumn and a blistering wet windy day, I'm sitting in my wee studio listening to your track and staring out the window.


Think I've said this before, this would make a great song with lyrics.


Not taking anything away from the instrumental track because on its own I thoroughly enjoyed this, a documentary backing track comes to mind.

Thanks

Hi Mario, as usual you did a great job. Very evocative. Reminds me of a 60's European movies.

absolute best !:))

You had me with the description. A very lovely piece, full-sounding but still relaxing. The melody is simple, but effective in setting the mood, and the strings and bass moved it along. Nice, long, slow fade too.

Mario,

What a wonderful listen. Just beautiful.

I really enjoyed the journey you and Jon took me on.

Regards,
Noel

The melody a wistful, longing to it. Very soothing tune. Loved it!

Mario & Jon,

Y'all are really good at this style of music.

Well played, nicely mix.

An enjoyable listen.

As I mentioned, peaceful and comforting. This is is just easy to listen to and enjoy.

Lovely, very soothing. Creating a beautiful atmosphere and dreamy reflection. Very nice.

Another amazing piece of musicianship from you buddy. Ever thought of releasing a DVD using this kind of material ? Your music would be fabulous watching some gentle seashore ir landscape videos.

Mario,

Relaxing and melodic.The instrumental layers are nicely done.
Music for tree gazing!

Robert

Hello, Mario

Very peaceful and comforting!
Great MIDI work!
The melody is very easy to remember and beautiful.
So, as beatmaster said, I also felt I wanted suitable lyrics on this tune.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

You just gave me a beautiful October Daydream!!! This is SOOO pretty! I love the sound of that bass....have to check out that style. You are such an amazing composer Mario!!! Love it!!! Take care. Greg

We just came in from blowing LOTS of maple, oak and hickory leaves from our bike trail so it was easy to fall into this.

The composition, performances and mix offer a great example of your ability to establish these moods and we thank you for that!!

J&B

I can see those leafs falling in slow motion! Lovely tune Mario! Thanks, Torrey

Sorry I missed this - I TRY to catch a track while it's still in single digits but missed this fella.
Mellow with plenty of depth and texture.

What a stunning piece, Mario The title of the track certainly lends merit to the sound of it. Very peaceful, and very entrancing. And it does evoke imagery of fall time. It has a chilled atmosphere - and I really love the subtle, quiet percussion that drives the whole thing along.

You should be really proud of this one - thanks for sharing!

I especially loved the unpredictability of the melody and just let it carry me wherever and really enjoyed the ride.

Thanks, dear friend.

I want to thank all of you that took the time to listen and comment on this song. Also thanx for all of those glowing comments.

A couple of you wanted to hear lyrics. If anyone wants to add lyrics and sing just let me know and I will either put the stems up on Dropbox and/or send you two MP3 files, one of the complete song and one sans the melody.

Hey Boss, loved this one. Very good job of mixing all the keyboard sounds on this one. Sometimes layering all that can sound like crap but this was done well. Keep 'em coming sir.

Very evocative Mario. I'm there! A beautiful scenic piece. Excellent stuff.

John

Thanx so much Steve. I know as sometimes I layer sounds and tracks one day only to come back the next and delete everything because it sucked!

Thanx for listening and commenting John.

Mario..I got to get another mug of hot spiced cider as I write this...you really got me in that fall mood. I was intrigued just by reading your notes—I love all the experimentation switching out the various midi voices—that’s great, and the result is very enjoyable! My only comment..I think the cymbals, to my ears, were a bit too noisy for that fall scene—I really wanted to fall asleep under that tree!

Really rich and warm Mario!

This is the kind of tune that just makes you feel good.

I really enjoyed it.

Super mix.
