Spring is Near

The month of March can be a rollercoaster ride in this neck of the woods. The temperature can run 20F (-6.7C) or more above or below our average temperature, sometimes in the same 24 hours. Spring flowers start sprouting. We can also have some very strong snowstorms. This song attempts to represent that.

BiaB style - USHR 2 - 16ths Soul - Ballad Styl
Tempo - 60 BPM

I deleted the guitar and bass tracks
Piano - Kontakt - Amadeus - Harp
Strings - Kontakt - Amadeus - Full String Ensemble
Utility 1 - Kontakt - Solid State Orchestra - strings
copied Utility 1 - Ultra Analog VA3 - Strings - Movie Flashback
Utility 2 - 2061: Strings Rhythm - Pop Country - Sw

Via my keyboard controller I am playing the double bass track (Kontakt - Amadeus - basses). Via my breath and keyboard controllers I am playing the Swam trumpet and Swam flute tracks.

As always all comments are welcomed.


Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!

Mario,

Really nice job on the trumpet and the flute.
Nice strings.

Very cool when that trumpet re-visits those winter storms...

An enjoyable listen.

Uplifting sounds. That trumpet almost reaches the range of a piccolo trumpet. Dizzy's puffy cheeks come to mind.

Yep a few days ago we had a 30+ shift in degrees. The season when all clothes for all seasons are NOT put away.

Love that flute melody. Everything played so well and mix to perfection. The harshness in the trumpet when it comes back in says a lot about thos crazy temperature changes. Another fine interpretation of what is, Mario.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Mario

You certainly have captured the sense of springs return. I particularly liked the trumpet and flute too, well done. A very relaxing melody and ending with a sense of anticipation. Spring, bring it on! ….oh dear, here comes our Autumn!

Good stuff Mario, kind regards
