Moving On

Moving on into a genre other than the magical gardens and fairies new age ambient genre.

BiaB style - Slow Hop - Smooth Jazz - Relaxed
Tempo - 85 BPM

I deleted the guitar track
Bass - Ample Bass - YinYang - lop Jam
Piano - Keys of the 70s - Stage Mark 73 Full - the lead is from EZKeys
Strings - split - strings 1 = Kontakt - Amadeus and Kirk Hunter Virtuoso Strings - both full string sections
Strings 2 - same as strings 1 but the MIDI is from a MIDI loop designed for brass stabs.
Drums - Steven Slates - SSD5

I am playing the nylon string guitar and via my wind controller the flute: Kontakt - Crystal Flute

As always all comments are welcomed.


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Hi Mario ...

Perky, yet calming. I like the layering as the song progresses. I like the sudden turn at 1:36 - refreshing (and again at 2:41). And that bass line is almost hypnotizingly delightful!

Nice in every facet - loved it!

Very lovely Mario!

Whenever I need to relax and chill, you are my go-to guitar man...and wind controller!!

Hey maybe that could be another one of your tag lines!

I control my wind most of the time, but only when I am at my computer!!!

We liked what Al said, "Perky, yet calming."

As always your performances are great ... via both the controller and guitar.
The bass track is very nice.

The overall dynamics and the gentle builds are most effective.

Cool listen indeed!

Mario,
Fun, whimsical tune. Wind phrases are spot on. Sweet nylon guitar. I think drums could be a bit beefier, otherwise excellent effort!
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

I would use the word "fanciful" to describe this.
Your guitar work is great.
Good job.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Hi Mario,

Your second song I'm listening to today.
First a lovely waltz and now a lovely..., ehh yes it's lovely but what genre.?
I loved the swirling flutes, the strings and the joyfull twists in this lovely melody.
I told you, you are a man of all seasons, and you are!

Very creative and, as I said before, very lovely!

Sorry, but all I hear when you play flute is fluttering fairies.

Funky fluttering fairies, but still... wink

Cool change at 1:40.

Mellow tune, fun listen.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I am always amazed at what you do with the wind controller.
Nice soothing music, great combination of flute, guitar and electric piano.
The drums could be a little less busy.

Mario,

Very nicely done. Slick arrangement, like how you add instruments along the way and then dial it back and so on. Rey easy in the ears. Yeah, that bass is really good. Some mighty fine playing by you. Well done!

All my best,

Deej
