Hi Mario,
What I wonder is where in the heck did you get all that creative talent? The French horn sound was terrific. It's an instrument I love when played skillfully, and not so much if played otherwise. This was wonderfully done.
Meditation at its finest.
Best to you,
Alan

Hey Mario,
Really love this man. So absolutely beautiful.
This is also one of my favorite productions of yours. Definitely sounds like this could go in a movie.
Great job.

Another epic Mario-phonic production
Ah, “Loving Thoughts,” a mellow instrumental that takes us on a delightful journey through the whimsical realms of sound. Featuring the enchanting flute and the majestic French horn, this piece is like a warm hug from your favorite blanket on a rainy day. 😎 It's hard to believe all these lovely sounds are produced using MIDI, which means our instruments are as digital as they are delightful!
The flute’s tone is so light and airy that you might expect it to take flight at any moment.Now enter the French horn, strutting in with all the elegance of royalty.Together, they create a delightful contrast: one is frolicking in the clouds while the other is firmly planted on solid ground.
“Loving Thoughts” invites you to take your time, yessiree, perfect for those moments when you want to contemplate life’s mysteries or simply decide what to have for dinner ( I said that because I'm hungry right now).
But wait! Just when you think you’ve settled into this serene soundscape, here come the key changes! They swoop in like surprise guests at a party—unexpected but oddly welcome.
"Loving Thoughts"—the perfect track for those moments when you need to take a deep breath and simply...exist.
This definitely gets my Mari-O-K seal of approval !! 💘

"Close your eyes and let your mind wonder." Yeah, that's the approach I use (involuntarily if I somehow forget it's you). I really enjoy how you put these all together in such a fine aural paclage. The mind wanders at the wonders. Thanks for taking us to all these magical places, man.

Alan Thanx Alan. For my last two years in high school I was the first chair of the French horn section of our high school's orchestra. I'm happy that I was able to recapture the sound and phrasing of the French horn. Thanx for noticing that.

Ace Mario...the flue flutter is something I'm not used to hearing in midi. Thanx Ray. The flutter is a setting in the Swam flute. I just assign a MIDI controller to it and use it as I am playing.
