Thanx Greg. I'm not sure that I rule the roost with this genre but I do like to work in MIDI and BiaB gives me the foundation to explore many genres. The MIDI side of BiaB is often overlooked.

This is terrific Mario - the textures, the instruments, the arrangement. It's a soundtrack waiting for a movie (or a space walk, or an episode of Fargo etc.).
You've inspired me to have a go at an ambient piece sometime soon.
Thanks for sharing this one,
Mike


Mike please do have a go at an ambient piece. I'm sure you will do well with it.

Thanx so much for those very nice comments.

Marion - excellent.
This REALLY reminded me of the Fripp & Eno collaborations No Pussyfooting and Evening Star...I reckon you'd have been king of tape loops.

I really enjoyed your piece.

I think you must've been the Bladerunner composer cuz I keep hearing it in your music. I try to do a variety of genres but this is not one I could pull off. I did enjoy it though, glad we have you here making this kind of music.

Hello MarioD,

I love this atmosphere that you have created. It's calming and very melodic. In a soft atmosphere in its tablecloths, you destress us during this sad period of the covid. Thanks to you. Well done

Kindly regard

The title is quite apt for this piece.

Relaxing. Hypnotic. Transcendental.

I must say I now feel like purchasing one of those lamps from late 60s, early 70s that project moving color on the walls and ceiling.

Thanx so much for the every kind review. I have listened to Frip & Eno so maybe some of them rubbed of onto me.

I'm sure you could pull of an ambient song if you wanted.

I haven't seen Bladerunner so I will have to check it out.

I'm glad that you enjoyed this.

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.
