Hi Mario,
This is excellent... just like all your music before it.
You've developed an admirable ability to create fine atmospheric music. As I listen, words that sprang to mind were: haunting, mysterious, sense of longing, aimless wandering.
I enjoyed this. It was another satisfying journey.
All the best,
Noel Thanx so much Noel. I really like ambient and new age music. I find it very relaxing.

"A lost soul just wandering around, wasting his life. Sometimes he will hit a high but immediately falls back to wandering and wishing his life away. He never does reach happiness". Sounds a bit Bipolar to me  But seriously this has plenty of mood and feel. Well done Mario. Rob4580 Rob, thanx for listening. Maybe he is bipolar, who knows?

Moody and musical. Loved the playing - trumpet sounds great.
A very evocative composition.
Peter Thanx Peter. The trumpet is called Screaming Trumpet. At high velocities it screams but this is what you get at low velocities. I think is sounds pretty good.

Wow Mario. First that wind controller is such a cool instrument. That back track was something else. I just loved it. Well done Thanx Scott, much appreciated.

Very nice, Mario. Like the sparseness. The pizzicato strings really add a lot to the atmosphere in this one. Really nice job of arranging! Very cinematic (like so many of your songs).
Steve
Thanx Steve. I like those strings also.

Mario,
the Pizz strings are great as a foil to the smooth Midi trumpet.
"Filmic" seems the best adjective I can locate.
Lovely. Thanx Ray. I'm glad that you like it.

Hi Mario, Well you got me again, I absolutely love this. Echoes of the cold war/ spy movies of the sixties and seventies, but would work perfectly today too. You really need to be aiming at some sort of movie/tv placements with these, they are too good to not be out there! Fantastic job. Martin Martin, thanx so much for those extremely nice comments.

Dark & emotional...
But poignantly conveying your concept...
Lost Soul...
"wandering around, wasting his life"
Very nicely executed! Thanx Jim. I thought of that intro after I wrote the song!

Mario,
all you need is a freestyle short story teller, someone with William Burroughs flavor for this. A really cool journey of it's own. I am impressed by your outsider musical experiments.
Listens very well! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Great atmosphere, lots of room for each instrument. Really enjoyable mysterious melody and gloomy chording. Great sounding bass and trumpet. Drum track is especially scary, I was wondering all the time is the lost soul going to miss a beat Janne

That covers it!
We'll only add that the arrangement is excellent, the mix is superb in its spaciousness and melodies are captivating.
Excellent!

Hello Mario,
This is a very nice, moody song. I read the word 'haunting' sometimes, but to me it wasn't like that.
Probably those trumpets prevented me feeling it like that. The drums caused the drama, but they were more light footed, if that's how I may put it.
Instrumentals are not really my favorite (as I must have said before), but you make them worth listening to!
Hans

I do have a propensity to put to clutter up songs with too much instrumentation, i.e. notes.
