New Frontiers is a new song that is way out of my comfort zone. I’m way out on a limb on this one but I do like to try different things. I hope you enjoy it.

OK Mario! 1st of all are you still on painkillers left over from the surgery?   Just kidding (sort of) as this piece had me in a trance for 3:06 ma man! Now I going to try to find one of those old kaleidoscopes’ we used to play with when I was a kid, then stare up at the light and play it again. This time you pushed the envelope right into the 3rd ring of Saturn . . and that’s a good thing, keep it up as they are never boring my friend. Later,

That one certainly took me back to my psychedelic days - like far out man.
Great work

Thanx all for listening and the very kind words. Sorry Danny, no painkillers! I only took one the first night after the operation then nothing. But I kept them just in case I need them later

Listened to "New Frontiers" over and over. It really struck me on this blustery day in Western New York. Great work!

Thanx Don and John for the kind reviews.
John, I was out in this junk most of today. I’m ready for summer! Or at least some of that climate change everyone’s talking about.

Awesome! That is way, way out there, man. Love it.  What are you using for the violin sound? A tad tinny but still way cool.;) I'd lose the heavy tremulo in the beggining then let it gently slide into the tremulo. Pain in the ass losing some of that tremulo on my Ketron but can be done.:)

Russ, Don and Swanman, thanx for the compliments.
Don, “old flatulent”? You know I’m in that boat also don’t you?
Swanman, The violin sound came from Garritan’s GPO4, a unit I’m still trying to get my hands around. Not that it is to play just hard to emulate the string, mainly due to my lack of knowledge in the orchestral area. I agree with the tremolo, however that is programmed into the patch, i.e Dream Whistles from Precision sound. I just got that one and played around with only this preset thus far.

Guess we're just a bunch of old farts. Handsome on the outside, rotting on the inside. It ain't the cows causin' the methane - it's the aging "boomers" (pun intended). Guess it's a good thing that microphones aren't that sensitive.  Cheers All - Bottoms up . . . Ready, Aim . . . Ian
