Sounds good to me, Mario! Nice new age type piece.
I'm having no problems hearing the changes here.
Nice tone on the guitar!
Thanx so much Dave. I really like this HB guitar.

Hi Mario,
I read the comment about your chordprogressions, well I can hear your progressions. I find your melody very nice and I liked the dramatic move in it towards the end. But if you could distinguish your instruments a bit more that would work out better. I don't mean just adding more volume, but panning the instruments (wider)and add volume to some of them. Makes the mix brighter.
But Mario, who cares? You had your fun making this song and we by listening to it!
Stay safe,
Hans Thanx Hans for those suggestions. I'm sure they will make my songs sound better.

Mario,
You are the New-Age King of the forum.
I like the "density" of the background. I did think the guitar could have been just VERY slightly louder - which seemed to happen around the 2:10 mark...then it seemed to drop a bit again. (It might be just an EQ thing - a little more high end might be the ticket. Guessing, here)
A beautiful piece. I enjoyed the listen.
fj Thanx Floyd for that suggestion. I will give it a try. I'm not sure about that New-Age King statement, but I'll take it

This is cool...reminds me of a lull section in a hooror movie where things are then suddenly interrupted by a gore fest. Lovely playing Mario. Angels sing. I never thought about this song in that perspective but you are right. Thanx for listening and commenting.

Mario,
Mysterious and fun. Could be very well used as a background for a modern day narration of Thousand and One Nights. Nice guitar playing and FX!
Enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing.
Misha. Thanx so much Misha for listening and these very nice comments.

Your productions always bring me a new appreciation for MIDI based songs. Relaxing and uplifting tune. Thanx Charlie. Some people look down on MIDI while I look up at it. I much prefer working in MIDI than in Audio, but that is just me. Others are experts at working with RTs.

So creative...love your approach to experimenting, etc. You get to places I would never think of going! Really makes me appreciate human inventiveness!
Thanks for stretching BIAB out like this! Using BiaB makes it easy to experiment and work out of your comfort zone. Just try it and after a short while you will be more comfortable working in different genres and with experimenting.

A nicely layered soundscape, Mario.Beautiful guitar tone and the kind of string arrangement I wish I had the skills to achieve!
Very enjoyable inner movie music.
Robert Thanx Robert for listening and commenting. BiaB does have some very nice MIDI string tracks and it doesn't take much, if any, changes improve them. You might want to give it a try.

A very interesting relaxing, yet cerebral ride. I like the way it rocks back and forth between major and minor tonalities, sometimes from the same same root chord. At least that's the way I'm parsing it as a beginner. And lands on an "up" feel. I wasn't all that crazy about the cello in my right ear on the phones. Probably not an issue on monitors/speakers. It might have been better had the strings taken the full spread and the cello shared closer to the middle...but maybe the very oddness of the piece begged for such a placement. I very much enjoyed the time listening. Thanx for listening and commenting. I will have to take a look at the cello. I place my strings in most of my compositions based on where they are in an orchestra based on the audiences view. Thus the double basses and cellos are on the far right. But maybe I have a volume issue, I will check.

Nice work Mario. You have a distinctive style all of your own.
That TR5 tape echo on your guitar gives an ethereal sound to the piece.
This music would be perfect for a dream sequence in a movie. Thanx for listening and commenting Andyman. I really like that TR5 tape echo. It is one of the best IMHO.

Hi MarioD,
This is a very melodramatic sounding piece.
You've done a really good job on it.
I'm not by any stretch of the imagination a movie director, but I can actually hear this as the intro or ending of a sad movie...
Or it could be played as an emphasis on a sad scene.
It's kind of sad, yet soothing. Thanks for posting. Thanx Bawb for these very nice comments. I appreciated them.

Moody, mysterious and mesmerizing...
Something we think the film libraries would
like to have in their repertoire.
We always like the backstories on how you put these
productions together.
Enjoyed it!

Cool! It reminded me of background music from Escape from Monkey Island, which is a good thing.  Raum reverb is one awesome verb.
