Peacefull Feelings

Just set back and let your mind wander.

Although this is called Peacefull Feelings it was not easy. I had a great sounding EZKeys 2 harp sounding track but putting those chords into BiaB was not easy. Thus I reversed the process and put chords into BiaB then had EZKeys 2 generate a new harp track, much easier.

BiaB style = New Age Alberti Piano and Strings
Tempo = 58 BPM

I deleted the piano.
Harp from EZKeys 2 = Kontakt - preset - Glissando Harp
Bass - Kontakt - Amadeus - preset - Basses
Guitar - Kontakt - Amadeus - preset - Full string ensemble
Strings - EastWest Symphonic choir - preset - full choir
Me - nylon string guitar
Via my wind controller - Swam - Bansuri flute - 3 warm

As usual all comments are welcomed.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Mario,

Love this... It sounds like the waning days of summer. Beautiful and serene.

The mix is great - really like the flute.

You know, Mario, one thing your tunes all have in common. They ARE peaceful. Well, maybe The Dance Floor could be an exception. hehe Man, one thing for sure is I'd watch any movie your scored --often with my eyes closed. That flute is awesome. So clear and clever.


Enjoy whatever happens!

My mind is enjoying a calming and beautiful journey. The strings are like waves on the ocean of life and Bansuri flute is a colorful bird flying above it, the harp sounds like the wind playing the ropes of the sails. Great work with playing and harmonious selection of instruments. I feel I'm getting closer to Venus than Uranus laugh

Thanx Marty. Thanx for the movie and flute comments also. I doubt that I will ever score a movie because I do this has a hobby, thus I do not want any deadlines!

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

Mario,

Nice! Beautiful.
Perfect title.
Nylon sounds good.
That flute is SO sweet!
Really nice production and mix.

One could put this on and let it run in the background of your life all day (and all night)

Thanx so much Floyd for this wonderful review.
That nylon is an elcheapo $79 guitar with a cheap $10 piezo mic. I recorded it directly into my computer via my audio interface. Then I just EQed it.

Bob put it so nicely, "Love this... It sounds like the waning days of summer. Beautiful and serene..."

The nylon and the flute were the perfect pair!

"That nylon is an elcheapo $79 guitar with a cheap $10 piezo mic. I recorded it directly into my computer via my audio interface. Then I just EQed it."

Amazing!

Great listen indeed.
