Lovely contemplative piece, Mario.
Certainly conducive to thoughts fading in and out. Those nylon strings sound great.
Regards,
Leon

Our protagonist walks alone on an empty beach in the evening.

Maestro. This is one of your finest compositions in my not so humble opinion. Stirring. Contemplative. Satisfying.

I really like it, especially what you did with the nylon.
Enjoyed the listen.
A lot!
I think you should release a chillout album one day, you're good at that.

Thanx so much. Maybe someday I will release an album, but don't hold your breath.

Greg, that nylon is a $69 dollar guitar recorded with a cheap tuner piezo pickup! Thanx for this kind words.

Hello Mario,

Oh, I like this song a lot! Very nice melody and I do like the used instruments!
The flute, the nylon string guitar, and also that beautiful synth in the back, well... in the back?

I didn't get the impression that this is a sad song. The melody 'meanders' through my head and gives a very relaxed feeling.
Lovely!
Very far away from any dissonant tones ;-)

Thanx so much Hans I appreciate your very kind works.

"Very far away from any dissonant tones ;-)" I got a chuckle out of that line!

Hi Mario,
"with your long blond hair and your eyes of blue..." clearly its not that one!
Congratulations on this highly atmospheric piece. It may be soft and slow but there are some melodic twists that make this quite an arresting composition. I'm also hearing too much of the strings.
Take care,
Marc

Thanx Marc. Are you saying that the strings are to loud?

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
