Mario,
That French horn sound is absolutely gorgeous. The whole production is just stunningly beautiful...
No one does this music like you. A new favorite.

Hi Mario!
That chord change around 3:08 was a delightful surprise. Really enjoyed the strings right throughout.
If my knees and fingers would allow me to sit in the lotus position, I'd let out an 'ommm' in response.
Wonderful piece!

So creative--again, thanks for reaching for the far edges of what we can do with our tools.
Mario, I'm curious...did you create a chart for this in BIAB, or did you play chords freeform? I find it very difficult when working at this extremely slow meter to keep the idea of what I'm doing together.
Anyway, sounds great--and Peace to you!

Andrew D Thanx Andrew. If I were to sit in the lotus position it would take a few medics and some muscle pain cream to get me back on my feet! I'm glad you liked it.

Anyway, sounds great--and Peace to you! Tom, most of my songs are started by chords in BiaB. Sometimes I may have an idea for a chord progression then I use BiaB to augment them. My biggest use of BiaB is to mess around with chord progressions. This song was completely started in BiaB by me messing with chords and styles. After I get a chord progression down I move it to my DAW, pick my patches, and play my lead lines, most which I have no idea when in BiaB. The above procedure is for instrumentals. For vocals the process is get the lyrics, play the chords via guitar or keyboard, then to into BiaB. Thanx for listening and commenting and I hope the above answers you questions. If not feel free to contact me via PM.

Breathtakingly beautiful. Just a lovely, LOVELY composition, and expertly mixed. You're always expanding my understanding of how great BiaB can sound in the right hands. Bravo!

New age, middle age, old age, any age ... whatever this is lovely and should appeal to anyone.
It's tailor made for some deeeep breaths.
The horn and flute are as always amazing in sound and how you accomplish it.
Thanks for the chill opportunity!

Thanks. This is a perfect sound environment for relaxing. The tempo of a song is said to should fit the heart beat and 48 bpm is really slow.

fj Thanx Floyd, I appreciate that Windham Hill comment. Breathtakingly beautiful. Just a lovely, LOVELY composition, and expertly mixed. You're always expanding my understanding of how great BiaB can sound in the right hands. Bravo! Thanx Ron. I have always said that with BiaB and a little imagination you can play any genre. BiaB is not limited to country or jazz.

This is a perfect sound environment for relaxing. The tempo of a song is said to should fit the heart beat and 48 bpm is really slow. Thanx Arri. I have never heard "The tempo of a song is said to should fit the heart beat" before. Where did you learn that? I have heard song tempos from 30 to 250 BPM!

Hi Mario,
Wow, this is magical. It's late evening here and it's calming me right down after the buzz of the day. As good as anything ever composed by Deuter. I expect I'll be listening again when I practice my Chi Gong.
