Doves

Here is just a little quick and dirty ditty that hopefully will bring a little serenity in to your life. This was quick and dirty as the whole song took about 3 hours from start to finish.

BiaB style = Doves - Straight 8ths Arps South
Tempo = 50

Bass - Kontakt - Ample Bass - preset upright - FX - Waves Bass Rider
Drums - Presonus - Standard Kit - FX - Waves CLA Drums
Piano - Synthmaster - preset LED Delicate Bell Arp - FX Presonus Pro EQ
Guitar - Kontakt - Armedeus - preset Harp - FX Presonus Pro EQ
Strings - Synthmaster - preset new testament

I am playing the violin via my wind controller and the vocal pad via my keyboard.
Violin - Kurt Hunter - solo vionlin
Vocal pad - Kontakt - preset Angelica Vocal Pads 6

All but the bass and drums have a touch of reverb via a reverb bus:
Reverb - Raum - preset Orchestra Hall

Master - Presonus Pro EQ and Multiband Dynamics


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Mario that's exquisite, and really tugged at my heart strings. almost sounds like a theramine doing the lead melody. Fantastic orchestration. Very haunting and moving piece of music. Love it to bits.

Wow, Brother!

This just puts me in a totally different era for a few moments.

I can picture men in sleek suits with skinny ties, women in frilly dresses and up-do's.
A couple of 50's Cadillacs and and Lincolns pull up as the crowd slowly walks into the building...

I enjoyed listening to it, thanks for posting.

Now if I can find my Packard keys, I'd be okay...

Mario,
Meditative and lovely. The violin soars in a delicate way.
Very soothing music!

Lovely music. Ambient if right. Hints of Irish. Beautiful sounds.

Great stuff Mario. I was visualising the doves circling under the dome of some great cathedral.
BTW, when you use Raum as the reverb bus do you turn up the 'Mix' button (the big one in the middle) to 100%. And how much is "a touch of reverb" on the other instruments?
Once again, nice work Mario.

Hi Mario ...

Totally loved it. I know this will sound like an oxymoron (my wife says I'm a moron minus the oxy!), but this is somber, yet full of hope and carefully groomed but a very subtle hint of rising above the chaos. I hope that made sense ... couldn't find the exact words.

I do a lot of these "quickies" they often turn out pretty good. If more of them turned out even half as nice as this one, I'd be deliriously happy and excited. A tip of the composer's hat for a job very well done.

Wishing you the very best. Be safe ...

Alan

Nice contemplative piece, the highlight being the violin played on the wind controller.

Hi Mario,

You did very well, those 3 hours! You made a really fine piece of music. I could see the doves circling around.
Especially the strings (melotron) worked out very well in the melody.
And nice to read you also use the Raum reverb. Nice to work with, don't you think?
I liked your song very much!

Thanx Mike for listening and commenting. No I do not turn Raum's mix to 100% wet. On this song it was set around 35%. Raum was on an FX bus and each track had a different level assigned to the bus.
