Tunnel To The Mysterious Kingdom

The Tunnel to the Mysterious Kingdom is enticing. It beckons you to enter, but what is on the other side? No one knows as no one has ever returned from the Mysterious Kingdom.

BiaB Style - Kulper Ambient Indie folk
Tempo - 50 BPM

I deleted the bass, guitar, and drums
Piano - Kontakt - Pure Jazz Vibes and EXKeys2 - Dream Machine - MK VII Dreams
Utility track - Snthmaster2 - Pad 80's Mystery Arc and Kontakt - DW Heavenly

I am playing my Squire P-Bass, my Jay Turser Jazz box guitar, and via my breath and keyboard controllers the Swam Barocco flute.

As always all comments are welcomed.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hopefully you can read this as I’m writing from the tunnel. Oddly cell coverage still is present.
I will soon be posting a new song so here's hoping I'll be the first to return ...
just couldn't resist exploring.

Man, this is really a great ambient vibe. Slow, mesmerizing but with enough cool things happening to keep one toally engaged.
That flute! And those bass notes offer great accents to the feel. Fine work on the ax also.

Excellent,

J&B

Mario,

Mysterious indeed, but also so beautiful...

You have an outstanding touch with those controllers - simply amazing. Mix is lush and perfect.

Loved it!

Hi, Mario.

Nice sleepy-feel tune.

All the instruments worked nicely.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Mario, cool tune! Love the harmonic flow and that chromatic descending bass line. Am guessing that's the Synthmaster providing the ambient pulses--it really sounds great. Nice one!

Nice relaxing sound, and I especially like what you're doing with the bass, those descending sequences sound fantastic.
Well done!

Thanx Janice and Bud. I did receive your message however it was quite scrambled like this, hop$&Y&E$ you can $%&YF this, etc. Luckily my my decipher code ring from the Mysterious Kingdom allowed me to to read it.

Thanx so much Ray. Sometimes a part just comes to me and that is what happened with the bass line.

Hi Mario.

Once again you manage to capture musical ambience in sensational ways.
This is beautiful listening.
I love the Synthmaster effect, the bass and your flute playing is mesmerising.
This is definitely "beautiful music".

All the best,
--Noel

Everyone of your song is a tunnel to the mysterious kingdom and I'm not sure if I've ever come back, but you seem to have returned and brought its magic, and on every visit you bring more of that magic to us. This is just excellent with melody sections that are out of this ordinary world. The flute, the bass and the guitar are painting something extra-ordinary, and they blend with other instruments seamlessly. This is very creative and enticing, an instrumental that tells a mesmerizing story, no words needed.

Man Mario, this is really good. I love the melody and the progression. The instrumentation is perfect, and it's all mixed so well. Very Pro sounding, loved the entire journey.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
