Mario,

Very nice and mystic sound.
The combination of MIDI instruments you choose fits so well with this song.
Pan Flute using wind controller creates a great atmosphere.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Mario ...

The first thought came to mind as I listen was "enchanting". There's a subtle element of mystery and anticipation. Love the chord arrangement ... mysterious and dreamy with a a touch of "spooky".

Yes, enchanting and captivating. That was a fabulous listen! Thanks so much. Wishing you the very best. Please be safe ...

Alan

I believe you found the right title for this hauntingly exquisite piece. Your mastery of melody and your controller technique are on full display here. Another good one that most certainly belongs in a movie, Tom

Thanx so much Tom. I am still a beginner on the wind controller and I am a very slow learner, but I am trying. I'm not sure I am a "master of melody" but thanx for that anyway.

Mario,
Quietly hypnotic; I love the wind controller depth of tone on this- its felt as well as heard.
A relaxing closed-eyes treat.

Mario,

Really fresh arrangement and feel to this tune. Easy on the ears—soothing. And a really nice mix. Well done!

Best regards,

I'm impressed by you & your controller.
The music is calming, gently and the pan pipe sample is pretty good too.


Cheers
