Quiet Images Just me having fun with my wind controller. BiaB style - KG Ballad - Smooth Jazz - very Slow Note I modified every track to suit the song. Drums - TX16W - GM - Standard kit Bass - Ample Sound - upright bass Piano - Kontakt - 00_Harp_SUS Guitar - Kontakt - Pure Jazz Vibes Strings - SynthMaster 2 - Pad Organic Pad FW I am playing my wind controller using - Kontakt - Pan Flute 01, FX= Presonus Pro EQ and Wave's Vocal Rider. Raum reverb was used on all tracks except the bass and drums.
Love is grand.

Hi Mario, very nice piece, almost mystic and sometimes haunting. May I suggest maybe bringing your performance a little to the front?
Good work though.
Regards
Mike B.

Wish we had the talent to have fun like that  As Mike mention it has mystic and haunting feel. But the upbeat groove offers a great counterpoint to that. Most enjoyable! J&B

Mario,
pretty! Nice progression and playing! Something that would fit in a modern interpretation of One Thousand and One Nights stories. The only thing, I am not a big fan of GM drums. Try Drummica (Kontakt-free) Thank you for sharing!

Mario,
I love the hollowed out sound of this one. You are a master of the wind controller... I can easily hear this as a movie track.
Great stuff!

Thanx Misha. I have much better drums than these, including some great Kontakt percussion presets. I was just lazy on this one and I didn't put each drum on its own track like I have done in the past.

Nice work Mario. A wind-controller eh? Something else for the wish-list.... Wind controllers are great for horns, woodwinds, and just about every other instrument that is either monophonic or can be played monophonic, like a lead violin for example.

Hello MarioD,
It's really original and enjoyable this track. It is rare to give jazzy sounds to a panflute and it is successful.

Hi Mario,
You do nice things with your windcontroller! The (pan)flute is a nice example of it. And I like the 'easy' drums in this melody. Fits nice. So I don't mind you were just lazy on them (putting them in one track).
Have a nice day,
Hans
