No Name I have decided to not give this song a title and to not have a song description. I will let the listener choose his or her own title and description. The start of this song is a little unusual as I was messing around in EZKeys2 and come up with a song that I liked. I transferred the song to both my DAW and BiaB. I picked a BiaB style I liked and the rest is history. BiaB style - Cloudy New Age Piano Tempo - 91 BPM I deleted the bass and string tracks. Piano - Kontakt - preset - Pure Jazz Vibes Guitar - SynthMaster One - preset - pad - Galaxy Utililty - Modified to better fit the song - Kontakt - Kirt Hunter Virtuoso strings and Solid State Orchestra strings and Amadeus Full String Ensemble. Drums - various Steven Slate's SSD5 drum kits EZKeys2 track - Lounge Lizard - preset - Tine Bases 13 Model V Via my breath and keyboard controllers I am playing the oboe track, I copied and modified the oboe track for the string lead and French horn leads. Band-in-a-Box is playing the backing tracks. As always all comments are welcomed.
Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.
Me-I'm not John
Doc-I know, I am!

Mario,
Nice work on the controllers. Cool oboe...
A flowing melody. Easy on the ears.
Description: Meditative. Relaxing. Engaging.
Title: The Rest Is History
Lovely.

Epic and relaxing ... if those aren't contradictory. Big sound!
Great performances, arrangement, backing tracks and mix.
We never cease to be amazed by the controller and the oboe is a treat.
Enjoyed it,

I agree with Janice and Bud, great arrangement, sounds like a professional sound track, and is soothing.

A potential title for this could "Tracking Sound" and as it sounds like soundtrack material. I really like the oboe sound, but I'd liked to have heard more of it in this,
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Mario, wow, this is truly majestic! The oboe sounds great, but I'm really blown away by the flow of the arrangement and mix. Could be a movie soundtrack for sure. Another nice one!

Man, I was going to say truly majestic, but I see Ron beat me to it  Excellent track, Mario, love the way it builds. Oboe is great!

I have decided to not give this song a title Then at least call it "A Song With No Name". The lyrics (sung with a melody written by a band named after an insignificant continent west of Europe) go like this: On the first part of the journey
I was looking for a name
But everything I could think of
Sounded bad and really lame.
You're welcome, Mario  As always, I like the laid-back soundscape you create, it's very relaxing for me. The drums take that away in places, but I don't know if a chillout sound was what you were going for.

A potential title for this could "Tracking Sound" and as it sounds like soundtrack material. I really like the oboe sound, but I'd liked to have heard more of it in this, Thanx so much, especially for that suggestion. I will keep that in mind for my next song(s).

Cool lyrics but I think I may have heard them before, maybe when I was in an oasis in the Sahara Desert! I'm glad that you liked it.

Mario,
It's a beautiful song.
It's a very relaxing sound.
The tones of each selected instrument are very nice.
Since you are using a wind controller, the oboe sounds very natural.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Mario,
The soundscape of your songs is always full and rich with a lead track that perfectly allies with it. You have mastered that wind controller - you can make it sound like almost anything.
This is beautiful and sonically dynamic. A true pleasure to my ears.
Best to you,
Alan
