The Waltz of a Lonely Soul

The title says it all.

BiaB style = Recuerdo - 3/4 solo nylon guitar
Tempo = 70 BPM

Bass - Kontakt - Kurt Hunter Virtuoso cellos - note BiaB only wrote the part where the strings are. I played the rest of the bass line via my keyboard controller.
Piano - Kontakt - Maiori strings
Strings - Kontakt - Kurt Hunter Virtuoso strings
Guitar - I spilt the guitar into two tracks. One track has the arpeggio and the other the double pick:
Arpeggio track - Kontakt - Amadeus - nylon string guitar
Double pick track - Kontakt - Prepartissimo Mandolino (a great freebee for Kontakt)
Me - the Whiskey Series Honkytonk Harmonica via my wind controller.

As comments are welcomed.

Sounds like something Ennio Morricone would write for one of his western film scores.
Great job!

David, go to the doctors, do not pass go, do not collect $200, and get some anti-depressant pills!

Nicely done indeed.
I got an Italian vineyard vibe in the beginning with the mandolin or guitar then later on, a Western vibe with the harmonica.
Very enjoyable.

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.

Hi Mario,

Is your waltz a coincidence or an answer to my waltz?
Whatever, I think it's a wonderful song, nice harmonica to make you feel 'more miserable', kind of state David is in now...
I only had a question; is this a real 3/4 waltz? I didn't hear the Waltz swing (and now you say to me I also need to see a doctor for my ears or so).
But the song itself stays beautiful. I had to smile about Bas Thumpers' post. Whenever you hear a a slow howling harmonica 'Once upon a time' comes in...

Mario,
Very cool soundscape-that harmonica really brings up images of a lonesome cowboy slowly riding way.
Shane! Shane! Come back!-at least that`s what I pictured.

Hans, this was just a coincidence.
Yes this was a waltz style but not in your one, two\, three, one, two\, three format. I'm glad that you liked this one.

Thanx Robert. You are right that the harmonica does bring up that cowboy image. I didn't think about that as I was writing this!

Beautiful music. Very beautiful melody and excellent chord progression, has deep lonely soul vibe, beyond the eternity. The arrangement is very pleasant, some European flavors, mandolin and harmonica are instruments that can express strong emotions and here they produce entangling sadness. I'm impressed, the master does it again!

The mandos certainly give it a Mediterranean feel and the is REALLY forlorn sounding.
COOL.

What Robert said, "Very cool soundscape-that harmonica really brings up images of a lonesome cowboy slowly riding way.
Shane! Shane! Come back!-at least that`s what I pictured."

Shane was the first movie Bud remembers and, man, was it ever sad.
Even though it was done 70 years ago there is still room out there for similar cinematic vibe song tunes like this.

Sell it!

Great work all around and, yep, that harp sounds fine!

A waltz. In a minor key. With a mandolin and a harmonica, so it's sad...

But there's a major section ad the end to keep it from being too sad. wink

Yep, just what the title said it was.

I enjoyed this listen. Gotta get that harmonic VSTi sometime. Sadly, my car just got an expensive repair so my "fun" money is gone for now. But it sounds like you're having fun with it. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanx J&B for this wonderful review. I am fond of the harp myself!
