October Daydream

You are laying under an old Maple tree during the autumn season. Leaves of various shades of red, yellow, purple, black, orange, pink, magenta, blue, and brown are gently falling to the ground. Your mind is drifting in many directions as you are experiencing an October Daydream.

BiaB style = W-Report Slow Fusion

I deleted the strings and piano tracks.

The drum track stayed as is - Addictive drums - Session Percussion - replaced the kick with a Djembe and the snare with a Timbrau LP
Effect - Waves CLA

The bass track stayed as is - Ample Bass JII

The guitar track was changed to a choir -Play - Symphonic Orchestra -
Alto - oo

JonD is playing the other choir track and the lead via his keyboard controller. I am playing the strings with my keyboard controller.

JonD's choir - Kontakt - Angelic Vocal Pads 6 Mode I+II

JonD's lead = the free Kezone Classic - Basic Electric Piano

Strings - both violins and violas - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter's Diamond Orchestra

Reverb was added to all but the bass and drums - Breverb 2 - Classic Hall - Cathedral

Feel free to comment.

Mario

Really enjoyed this, the Angelic Vocal Pads sound amazing.

where I am it is autumn and a blistering wet windy day, I'm sitting in my wee studio listening to your track and staring out the window.


Think I've said this before, this would make a great song with lyrics.


Not taking anything away from the instrumental track because on its own I thoroughly enjoyed this, a documentary backing track comes to mind.

Thanks

Hi Mario, as usual you did a great job. Very evocative. Reminds me of a 60's European movies.

You had me with the description. A very lovely piece, full-sounding but still relaxing. The melody is simple, but effective in setting the mood, and the strings and bass moved it along. Nice, long, slow fade too.

Another amazing piece of musicianship from you buddy. Ever thought of releasing a DVD using this kind of material ? Your music would be fabulous watching some gentle seashore ir landscape videos.

Hello, Mario

Very peaceful and comforting!
Great MIDI work!
The melody is very easy to remember and beautiful.
So, as beatmaster said, I also felt I wanted suitable lyrics on this tune.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

We just came in from blowing LOTS of maple, oak and hickory leaves from our bike trail so it was easy to fall into this.

The composition, performances and mix offer a great example of your ability to establish these moods and we thank you for that!!

Sorry I missed this - I TRY to catch a track while it's still in single digits but missed this fella.
Mellow with plenty of depth and texture.


Cheers

What a stunning piece, Mario smile The title of the track certainly lends merit to the sound of it. Very peaceful, and very entrancing. And it does evoke imagery of fall time. It has a chilled atmosphere - and I really love the subtle, quiet percussion that drives the whole thing along.

You should be really proud of this one - thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk
