Thanx Marty. You write some of the cleverest comments.

If you can write that and produce that , You're fine, There's nothing wrong with walking around the house calling yourself a genius, There's a lot worse things to tell yourself . What's Willie Nelson 91 , yup , Still playing so is Kris Kristofferson, there doing a Outlaw show next week .Willie what would you say to someone 18 years old ? "Shut up comes to mind". I was surprised Kris was going to be there , since he said he was retired , Well they always say that . Its probably why they're still alive , playing music . I think everybody is a genius, The trick is on what ?.

Your description was worth the price of admission! smile

"Note this is just me having fun." As did we.

Very cinematic and nuanced.
Takes a couple of listens to absorb it all.

Ii quickly conjures up so many images ... especially to us sci-fi fans.

Great performances and mix!

That was bloody brilliant, Mario. I like unconventional. I like all the textures you have woven into the production. Extremely interesting to this ear.

Thanx Greg. I'm not sure that I am the master of anything! Actually the description came a lot easier than the instrumental.

Hi, Mario.

I like listening to music that "goes somewhere', and this certainly takes the listener for a ride! smile

Wonderful! Strings are wired between Earth and Mars and MIDI God of BIAB himself is playing that massive axe, shaking the electro-magnetic waves and his creative work will be heard in distant galaxies after some light years - and we'll be waiting for their invite to an intergalatic concert... inspiring piece of experimental journey through time and space and beyond imagination, excellent use of BIAB and cool sounding instruments.

Howdy Mario....

I'm listening now.
This is good composition with a lot going on.
I would categorize it as a soundtrack which are not generally 'conventional' sounding.
Must have took some patience to pull this one together and get a mix you're pleased with. smile

Well done Mario!

I've never done drugs but now I think I have a better feel for what LSD would be like! I promise, Mario, that is a compliment. Very cool feel to this and it took a lot of imagination to put this one together, I'm sure. Have you considered submitting this for a sync placement?

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
