Whoa... I started typing at about 140BPM, and quickly settled down to a mere 40. Now I'm sleep-surfing. Man, that flute sounds as if it was played by Morpheus himself. Mario, you are SOOO good at creating feelings with music.


Enjoy whatever happens!

KONA (King Of New Age) strikes again!

Interesting to have the nylon play the piano part and a harp play the guitar part.
Nice work with the controller (as always).

Good mix.

Meditative.

I'm a big fan of relaxing Chillout/New Age music, so I like it. A lot!

The flute melody is just beautiful!

Mario, your atmospheric synth work is very cool...I don't think it needs to be tethered by a drum track at all.

Hi MarioD,

nice instrumental composition full of sweetness. This is what pleases the ear. It's well done. The orchestration is perfect and the flute is very realistic. I appreciated. It is for me one of your best instrumental compositions. Well done.

Hi Mario ...

Enchanting and ethereal. I think I like this as much as anything you've posted in a while. You post the best New Age music on the forum.

This is so relaxing. And you have the perfect title for it. I always enjoy your music. Thanks for the journey ... Now to find my way back to reality. Well, maybe I won't - I'll just stay here a while longer.

Alan

Good stuff, I quite enjoyed it. You should think seriously about getting a Ketron SD2. They have a Jethro Tull flute that is very percussive and breathy. The horns on it are amazing. I'd love to hear what you could do with it.
