Sea saws can't cut through WAVs this solid. We used to have a saw player come to our jams here, but he then moved up by you. He wasn't even close to this good. I love this soundscape, Mario. You set the scene well with your words, but, man, this music could be used for so many many scenarios. Your creativity is over the top. Thanx Marty. I really appreciated your "Your creativity is over the top" comment. With a little creativity and BiaB I believe anyone can create any genre of music.

A really beautiful and well-balanced instrumental, Mario. I'm always impressed by slower than average tracks and I currently can't see myself successfully creating anything at 60bpm. My previous slowest was 90 and I'm just in the process of doing my first at 85, but I found with only using BiaB samples it's hard to get good solos.
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.

What great sound Mario!! - I have a friend - Tim the Sawman - who jams with me with a SAW!! The sound is ethereal and enchanting. I really like the ocean effects, and cello. Beautiful. Thanx Elliott. I really like the sound of the saw. I have never heard one played until I heard that free VSTi. I knew that I had to DL it and use it in a song. You should post something with Tim the Sawman. I know you have the "tools" to do it  Hauntingly beautiful - the saw creates such a unique mood, and you build a great song from it.
By the way, my older sister's former father-in-law also played it, but you wouldn't have wanted to hear it. Thanx Brian for listening and commenting. Are you sure he was that bad? YES! But, to be fair, this thing is a lot harder to play than it looks. .

Clever title. Kind of futuristic-sounding. Commented on Soundcloud too.

A saw full of sorrow – you really captured that feeling of loss and the broken heart.
Thanks for sharing, Mario!

I use MIDI so slow time signatures are no problem. A beautiful piece, Mario.

fj Thanx Floyd, I appreciate those comments. I actually had the title prior to the song!

Wow very cool sounds from the keyboard and wind controller. Backtrack was excellent. Really well done. Thanx Scott. I like to experiment with new sounds, plus I'm getting a little better at the breath and keyboard controllers. Well at least I think I am getting better. Clever title. Kind of futuristic-sounding. Commented on Soundcloud too. Thanx so much for listening and commenting both here and on Soundcloud. I appreciate it.

Very relaxing and emotional tune. I would like to say that I saw this coming, but I didn't sea it Very inventive idea to use the saw to express the feeling of a break up, it sounds great! The whole piece has an early classical feeling. The cello, the drums, the lush strings - you are The Wizard of BIAB when it comes to creating and playing haunting and ageless musical atmospheres. Janne
