untitled song

I was just messing around and came up with this little ditty. Consequently I didn't come up with a title or a theme so I will leave it up to the listener to come up with them.

BiaB style - Solo XOUATIC Celtic Air Guitar
Tempo = 65

Guitar - Kontakt - Amadeus - Nylon guitar

SuperMIDITrack 2820:Harp,Rhythm Classical Slow 8thsEV85 - Kontakt - Amadeus - Harp

Utility Track - Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra -Strings and Choir

RT 4204:Audioharp, Rhythm Old Time Held - 085

Via my breath and keyboard controllers I am playing the flute - Eastwest - Silk - XIAO and the Hollywood Fantasy Orchestra - Voices - Solo Voice

Merry Christmas to all.

There's "A Horse With No Name", so why shouldn't be "A Song With No Name"?

Very relaxing. Bin the audio harp, and you'll have the perfect meditation song!

Beautiful stuff, Mario. Like the way it unfolds like a flower blooming. Very serene yet evocative of something greater, but not understood. Love music like that.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, too, Mario!

Yes, like a painter leaving her work unfinished so the viewer can give it their own interpretation and title. With the harp and all the glissandos I'll call it Cloud Talk. You know, like angels on one cloud communicating with another. They have such a beautiful language, Mario. Thanks for giving us a hint of what they're saying.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Mario!
The measured pace of this via the harp, accompanied by the strings and choir, and the zither like strum made me think of ‘Magical Labyrinth’, where each strum is turning a corner into a wonderful passage, until the climax of the labyrinth’s exit.
Loved it.

Thanx Brian. I questioned myself about adding that audio harp so maybe I should have left it out.

Mario,

Beautiful composition! The words "Fractal Snowflakes or maybe crystals" immediately popped into my mind for some reason! Nevertheless, it sounds wonderful!

Take care, TB

"Snow Falls Gently" or "Snow Gently Falls" would be my title options for this air with no name as it was what I immediately visualised. It's a beautiful piece and I love the 'faux' vocals.
Was "Audioharp" a typo or the actual term?

#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Man did DC Ron ever nail it, "Like the way it unfolds like a flower blooming."

Perfect analogy ... particularly for us two flower lovers.

Great performances by you.
Loving that flute.

Excellent arrangement and mix.

Have some fun holidays and a great new year!

Hi Mario.

What a very, very restful creation. As I listened, I was reminded of sitting in contemplation on a green hillside on a sunny spring day. You have created a beautiful musical journey. I thoroughly enjoyed where you took me in my imagination.

Thanx Chay. I liked both of your titles.

That is a typo, thanx for catching that. It should read Autoharp.
