Instrumentals are not really my favorite (as I must have said before), but you make them worth listening to!

I'm glad that you are listening and commenting on my little instrumentals. I do instrumentals because my voice scares people!

The word that most easily comes to mind listening is "space". I don't mean sci-fi cheese (or moon cheese, for that matter) but wonderful space in the timing and in the mix. The ear awaits what little hit will fall just where. Lovely harmonies and a perhaps deceptively simple melody/lead convey a very nice muted emotion. I like this a lot.

Hi Mario,
Love the atmosphere and style of this. Title just right. Something to sink into. Wish I could do something similar.
Cheers.

Nice work on this - it flows gorgeously, and really sets a calming vibe. The harmonies are excellent and it captures a really unique atmosphere.

Thanks for sharing smile

Thanx Rich. I'm sure you could produce something like this if you put you mind to it. If I can do it anyone can!

Mario,

I think it is your unique view of the music world.
As floyd says, you are really doing some unusual - and delightfully satisfying stuff with BIAB!!
And I entirely agree with Noel.
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.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

A spy movie sound track with Madrid as a back drop!
What a beautifully done sound canvass Mario!

As an ex trumpeter, always a sucker for trumpet as a lead instrument without overwhelming the other instruments. The more I listen, the more it grows and your ending, brilliant.

Loved this and very near missed it, trying to catch up been gone for a bit .

Truly to me a mystic and suspense feel , The wind instrument just blows me away and the fact you do truly create this... along with midi implementations.

Makes it more creative and unique and exciting.

Well to me you are the Midi King and you inspire me a great deal.

Thank You.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
