Thanx Scott. The guitar is an old Kramer Nightrider. I ran it straight into my computer and used VSTs effects.

Hello Mario, new user here, but I wanted to tell how much I enjoyed this quite and plaintive piece. Goes perfectly with the fire in my fire place and the quiet evening I am having. Thanks for sharing.

Ambient Man strikes again.
I get a little Fripp & Eno vibe with this.
You really ought to try to emulate some Frippotronics some day.
Easily done with a looper I suppose but the idea of running tape between two recorders sounds & looks cool.
Nice work as always.


Cheers

Hi Mario,

This is soothing and serene and, like so much that you create, the cinematic potential shines in music and rhythm.

You really have a knack for fine ambience music.

All the best,
Noel

Hi Mario,

This really is a very intriguing song and very good mixed together.
All the time, when the song continues, I expected some kind of musicall explosion with thundering drums or whatever, but that never came. The song was like breathing, continuesly in and out and on some moments a more heavy breath that bring the tension. (the one where after I expected that explosion).
You did it very well,

Hans

Simply sublime...in performance and arrangement.

We often say it but, again, your compositions are
remarkably cinematic.

Very nice!

PS Which track did you use the Vocal Rider on?
I know folks use it for tracks other than vocal
but am curious. Thanks.


Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more.
