BiaB style - Circle Ambient Lap Steel even displays the sheet music for each instrument in MIDI notation.
It's also great that you use MIDI instead of audio tracks.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanx so much Shigeki. I am a strong supporter of MIDI. MIDI is very versatile.

Thanx Mick. I agree that PGM should develop a little more of the MIDI side of the street. Luckily most all RTs have MIDI charts that we can use. I have always said that with BiaB and a little imagination one can generate any music genre.

Nice piece, Mario. It provided a very calming background for my otherwise anxious morning, smoothing out the ruffles. You could call it "Smooth Morning" but that sounds kinda like a laxative. grin So Smooth Feelings it is!
