This song has a really lovely, serene, and easy quality to it. It was definitely a very calming experience to listen to it. Great job!

Smooth and mellow as a lazy summer's day. I really love the tone of the Jubal Flute - it's got an almost saxophone feel. Nice mix and balance between the instruments. Well, the guitar comes in a bit loud at 2:35. The strings playing the counter line at the end worked really well. So... peaceful... so... sleepy.  Good work!

Just gotta tell you Mario
By devine intervention I was listening to your beautiful music whilst discovering that my daughters new puppy was chewing the laces on my prized Berluti shoes ! Your calming music probably saved the mutts life!
Artful and soulful music.
cheers
Gary.

Love the melody you are playing on the flute! Nice sound too.
Also the guitar part really works well.
Nice piece, Mario, enjoyed.

If you're not at peace with yourself, listen to this, That's my advice. The flute floats me away and that sweet guitar makes me glad I did. Then the flute brings me higher --or lower, can't tell which-- and each new horizon becomes clearer. Beautiful, Mario.

Beautiful.

Mario,
Good deal! Nice playing on your wind controller. Nylon guitar has a very nice line, kind of slow Bossa motif.
Since you are open to comments, here is my 3 cents. I think from 1:04 to 1:40 strings overpowering guitar... And I would prefer to hear more of that guitar in that segment. Also a spike in a guitar, which David mentioned. Other than that, very nice.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

The flute is very human voice like...nice.
Your nylon guitar playing is lovely but yes that 1st phrase at 2.30 odd is loud and is visually marked on the wave form too. It alters the perceived volume of the phrases after it.
I'm not sure this needed the percussion so far forward but that's not a deal breaker anyway.
Cheers

Thanx so much David for the comments and the constructive criticism. I was having problems in that area and thought that I had it right but obviously I was wrong so thanx for pointing that out.
