Spring is Here
Around here spring brings extreme weather changes. One day it will be 32F (0C) with blowing snow, ice, and wind chill temperature at 0F (-17.8C) while the next day it will be 70F (21C) with full sun! The following day could be cold again. That is a normal cycle around here. Finally spring fades into summer. This song tries to emulate that. The soprano sax is spring and the guitar winter. BiaB style = Pop Ballad 4 - EV. 8 Ballad Tempo = 70 BPM Piano - Keystone Classic Piano Guitar - EZ Keys - Dream Machine - preset Mellow Mark K VII String 1 - Kontakt - Kirt Hunter Virtuoso Strings String 1 - String 1 copied - Kontakt - Solid State Strings Both string parts slightly modified to better fit the song Drums - Steven Slate SSD 5 I am playing the fretless bass, guitar, and via my wind controller the soprano sax. Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks. FX - bass - Amplitube 5 - Waves Bass rider Sax - delay Guitar - Amplitube 5 All but the drums and bass - Raum Reverb As always all comments are welcomed.

HI Mario ..
what a super cool song! As I listen, what I taker from the variations is the drums are the common thread. In the softer pieces, they're the underlying current of more dramatic things to come, and when the more dramatic arrives, they embellish that tension, represented by the distortion guitar. The wind controller and piano are much like a soft, gentle breeze wafting over everything else.
That's my take. I could be way off, but that's how it comes across to my ears. Very nicely done! Take care ...

Hi MarioD,
you plunge us into a very sweet atmosphere at the start of spring. Very varied instrumentation that immerses us in your universe. Well done.

So... sleepy..  Nice song! The bits where the strings fade in and out don't work for me - instead of sounding natural to me, it sounds like someone in the control booth is turning the volume knob, and it calls a bit too much attention to itself. But a very pleasant listen.

Mario, Very cool tune with unexpected mood changes. Yep, sounds familiar. We had snow on the ground last week, with daffodils nearly opened. Excellent work on bass, guitar and your wind controller! Sax sounds very smooth. Good mix too. No complains  Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Hi Mario,
Yes, this also fits the weather here in the Netherlands. From a beautiful March to a cold and rainy April.
Beautiful music again!

Ah, no matter what the weather, Mario, you consistently create some of the most interesting music. I love the way you express life in your music. You create the soundtrack to our existence, and seem to specialize on the important things. That guitar is hardly as annoying as the lingering shades of Winter, but you manage to express some gratitude in its farewell.
