It was originally envisioned to be a Rock piece in the general flavor of Pink Floyd, maybe, with a sort of cinematic middle section. It even went to DAW with that plan in mind. However in producing/mixing I became enamored more with the acoustic lead and reimagined the whole thing, going back to BIAB for some additional "flavor" tracks. It's basic form is ABCAB Out, with each letter representing a progression harmonized to a different mode, essentially. In production, since there is no vocal, I tried to keep changing feels, dynamics, and sounds to keep this entertaining for three and a half minutes.

I used delay on the flute and on the second drum track. Mastered in Ozone 8 Elements, "Indie" preset with a little additional stereo widening. This is something I wanted to do, obviously, but it is also intended to distract me from finishing my "magnum opus". Enjoy, if possible.

The acoustic lead sounds good - like someone actually played to the track. Nice list of RTs Well mixed. Cool ending with the hints of electric. Enjoyed. fj 150+ Songs produced using BIAB RealTracks And 50 more... and some more...

At that point, it gave me hints of a Pink Floyd sound. I did find the flute from 1:19 to about 1:35 a little distracting. However, it didn't take anything from the enjoyment of the song. It was a nice mesh of melody and instrument selection. The acoustic guitar was particularly good! Nicely done! Wishing you the very best. Be safe ...

Really nice layered textures in the backing music with the strings and flute. Seamless shifts in tones and feels—really well orchestrated and arranged. Very engaging instrumental! All my best, Deej

For the most part they get along very well with each other, but I thought that flute and strings contradicted in a few places. I guess that is the nature of soloist tracks.. I think, rhythm based flute would work better. Perhaps chops of soloist? In any case, quite interesting and unusual work with many tasty mood changes. Thank you for sharing! Misha. P.S. I think BIAB desperately need straight (or near) rhythm winds and brass

Wow! We listened three times back to back and don't feel that we have begun to grasp the nuances, etc. Will return for more. I think your intriguing progressions really opened the door for the solo RT's (and the flute) to "show their stuff" as they sound tailor made for the production. A bit overwhelming, actually, in its richness. This is a remarkable display of the power of BiaB in talented hands.

Kinda like watching a flock of birds, generally flying together but, occasionally making sharp turns leaving a few stragglers to catch up with the flock. I could definitely hear the Pink Floyd flavor, that could easily be developed with a few alternate mixing choices. Well done.
