Whispering Winds

As the wind blows through the trees, leaves start falling, and a cold feeling comes over you. It is like the wind is whispering to you.

Things have been a little hectic here. Thus this is me having a little fun with BiaB.

BiaB style = Awaken1 - Slow, Mystic New Age, tempo = 50 BPM

All tracks had Presonus Pro EQ
Bass = Kontakt-Amadeus -Bass
I wrote a Cello track based on the Bass track = Kontakt-Amadeus -Cellos
Piano = Synthmaster -Dusty Pad Preset
Guitar = Synthmaster One-Light Years Preset
Strings = Kontakt-Mark Tree (chimes)

I am playing the guitar - effects = Vocal Rider-EZ2 mix Ambient preset-TR5 Tape Echo

Mario,
beautiful & serene tune. Chimes work very well, but at times they would come a little too strong. Enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Nice work..... I love the melancholy feel to the start with the minor chords then the change to major.

To me the fall is always kind of sad. Not only are the trees dropping leaves and things are dying or hibernating, also the year is about to end. But that is all a prelude to the new awakening in the spring that follows winter.

You nailed that feeling between the minor to Maj and back again and on and on like the seasons themselves.

Yep... nice reflective piece.

You've really captured what you set out to achieve here, Mario.

Haunting, and I like the tape echo, as though there's an answer to the call.

Wow - this is a favourite of mine for sure now smile It really sets a mood, and I love the ambient, chilled out vibe on this. Really easy to follow and simultaneously peaceful and melancholic.

Great work - thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

Mario I just love this tune. Love the backtrack and the guitar just floats above it. Very cool tone and the effects were perfect. Well done

A mellow soundscape Mario.I like the guitar tone and those tinkling shimmers falling around the backdrop.
Cool and relaxing music.

Dani, the only thing that I am king of is my castle, and that is only when the wife is out wink

Thanx for these very nice comments. I'm glad that you noticed the chord changes.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
