Thanx Dave. I'm really not a master at MIDI, just a hacker at MIDI. You only hear what comes out OK and not the many other "almost made it" tracks and patches.

Thanx Marty. Sometimes my usage of who and whom is determined by a coin flip. Those two words are very confusing to me. I'm creative because my brain is a half a bubble off center!

Another quality instrumental from you.

Have you used any of these as movie soundtracks?

Merry Christmas from the other side of the world.

No Nigel none of my songs have ever appeared in a movie. The man with the big cigar has never knocked on my door.

I hope to hear more great tunes from the wizard of MIDI next year smile Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2023!

Thanx so much Janne, especially this line "it tells more about Christmas than any song with lyrics". I really appreciated that. But I'm not "the wizard of MIDI", just a hacker having some fun.

It's going to be a very relaxed and meditative Christmas with your music playing in the background.

Excellent work as always!

"I need a better thesaurus. "Peaceful", "tranquil", and "meditative" have all been used already!"

Ditto what David said.

And everything Janne said.

We are late to the post so it's all been stated.

We feel this could have been a backing track for many, many Christmas productions.

A wonderful way to end a year of your great compositions.

Happy Holidays!

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Completely missed this one, Mario. Sorry...

I think you have a good hand with this relaxing, spherical soundscapes.
I enjoyed the listen!

B.D. I'm glad that you liked this song.

PS - no need to apologize. There are a ton of great songs in this thread and it is very hard if not impossible to hear them all.

Hi Mario,

I'm very late, due to illness, so now I'm trying to catch up with all the songs I missed.
Your song was the first I listened to and it hit the spot right away!
I can agree with most around here that you made a a very nice song with this one. I liked the 'strings' synth a lot.
Very relaxed and that created time to spend in reflection.

You did a very good job on it,
Hans
