Other than that I sat n listened.
For a dude with a guitar in his hands in his avatar you certainly are a MIDI master.


Ray thanx so much for this very kind review and especially for the great suggestions. I am trying to learn orchestration and suggestions like this really help. Thanx again.

Thanx so much Andi. Those orchestral MIDI loops I purchased and a little modification I think they sounded great also.

Marty, you write some of the most interesting reviews! I should have you write in song introductions!

Thanx for listening and these very nice comments.

The sprites are about, ain't they?

Wonderfully textured, cinematic, and of course, magical!

I love the flute part. The choir evokes the sun rising.

Mario,

Nicely done.
That piano sounds good.
I really like those strings stabs!
Nice job with the controller (as always).

Good mix.
A beautiful listen.

Mario...definitely one of your best...so peaceful at times then a slow gradient movement into a suspenseful atmosphere...I agree with Torrey that you are a master at creating super soundscapes for us to venture through...loved it...Dan

Beautiful!
I like your flute playing, and the string arrangement is also pretty good.

I think I've told you before that you're really good at film music.

Thanx Dan. I'm not so sure about that "master at creating super soundscapes" but I'm still trying and learning about creating soundscapes.

Thanx so much B.D.. I do enjoy creating new age and ambient music. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

Very soothing, enchanting and mystical.
You are the master of other-wordly soundscapes.
Well done.

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.

Mario, this is really cool cinematic music that needs a video to go with it. I like the parts where it goes to the minor.

I have to wonder if there are guys out there who like creating videos and how we would get hooked with them.

I don't know how you guys find the time to keep up on this showcase. It seems like another excellent piece of music is posted every five minutes.

Best regards, Mario, to you and the better half.

Thanx so much Janice and Bud. No I wasn't confused when I crossed the bridge, thus the next song.

Thanx so much Billy for these very kind words. Yes my wife and I are doing OK for a couple of oldies but goodies. I hope you and your family are doing OK also.
