Visionary Dreams


Just lay back and let your mind wander.

Biab style = Question - Smooth Jazz
Tempo = 65 BPM

I deleted the drums, strings, and the utility tracks
Bass and guitar - Kontakt - Kurt Hunter's Virtuoso strings
Piano - FM8 - EPIString
All of the above tracks were modified to better fit the song, I hope!

My friend BobH is playing the nylon string guitar

I am playing the Apache flute - note I got it to work with my wind controller (don't know why it didn't work before) but the CC2 range was very small. That is silence to full volume didn't take much. I had to modify the volume automation but it was easier than before.

As always all comments are welcomed.

Pensive. Both your flute and Bob's nylon. In equal amounts.
Nice.
Excellent mix.
Pleasant listening.

Hi Mario
Really cool sound
The intro (first about 20 seconds) is so awesome
I immediately got an idea for a hard rock song ;-)
sounds really great Mario
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Mario,

This is very beautiful... Some exquisite tones throughout. I love the combination of the flute, strings and nylon guitar.

A tranquil beauty.

Mario and Bob...another gorgeous soundscape...very peaceful and yet the strings add a bit of tension to the piece...well done (as usual)

Mario,

As Floyd said "pensive"
Dark and beautiful, also captivating all the way through! I always enjoy your work!

Thanks, TB

I'm glad that I could inspire you!
Will we be expecting a song much like a Boston song?
I'm glad you liked this.

Good stuff, Mario, nice composition.

Flute sounds good as does the guitar.

Enjoyed!

Nice guitar, Bob! Love the timing. Cool mood, Mario. Anticipation and reward. Man, I love how you make visual music. There is a subtle interplay between the guitar and flute that reminds me shy teasing. Not sure that makes sense, but... hey, it's what happens when my mind wanders.

Mario ...

Ethereal and so satisfying. what a wonderful mix of tracks - every track is mutually supportive and adds so much to the total package. Tghis is really, really nice!

Take care,

Alan

Thanx so much Marty. Bob actually played a little more but it didn't really fit in my opinion. I would have liked to have him record more but he is gone for the month of August on a long extended vacation/holiday.

Hypnotic, mesmerizing and lovely.

Every listener can paint their own landscape.

Love the nylon and the flute ... really great interaction.

Enjoyed it!

Truly inspirational music that took me through history and places. Sadness and mystery together in a place where man crafted the first notes of music. The arrangement is superb, lovely guitar playing, hauntingly beautiful flute and those strings and piano add everything that is needed for another masterpiece - wish there was a Mario radio channel playing this type of music 25 hours per day, I would listen to it every time I needed to relax smile

Janne, thanx so much for this very wonderful review.

As for the Mario radio comment why not just DL my songs that you like and put them in a MP3 playlist? It is OK by me.

Relaxing composition. Removing the tracks I think was a good call.
This is cool stuff.
