Just me having fun with my wind controller.

BiaB style - KG Ballad - Smooth Jazz - very Slow
Note I modified every track to suit the song.

Drums - TX16W - GM - Standard kit
Bass - Ample Sound - upright bass
Piano - Kontakt - 00_Harp_SUS
Guitar - Kontakt - Pure Jazz Vibes
Strings - SynthMaster 2 - Pad Organic Pad FW

I am playing my wind controller using - Kontakt - Pan Flute 01, FX= Presonus Pro EQ and Wave's Vocal Rider.

Raum reverb was used on all tracks except the bass and drums.

Hi Mario, very nice piece, almost mystic and sometimes haunting. May I suggest maybe bringing your performance a little to the front?
Good work though.
Regards

Mike B.

Wish we had the talent to have fun like that

As Mike mention it has mystic and haunting feel. But the upbeat groove offers a great counterpoint to that.

Most enjoyable!

J&B

Mario, keep having fun because this is another beauty

Mario,
pretty! Nice progression and playing! Something that would fit in a modern interpretation of One Thousand and One Nights stories. The only thing, I am not a big fan of GM drums. Try Drummica (Kontakt-free) Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Nice work Mario. A wind-controller eh? Something else for the wish-list....

Mario,

I love the hollowed out sound of this one. You are a master of the wind controller... I can easily hear this as a movie track.

Great stuff!

Bob

Thanx Mike. I will look at bringing the lead more up front as soon as time permits. Thanx for pointing that out.

Thanx J&B. I wish I had your talents as you produce one winner after another!

Thanx so much Graham.

Thanx Misha. I have much better drums than these, including some great Kontakt percussion presets. I was just lazy on this one and I didn't put each drum on its own track like I have done in the past.

Wind controllers are great for horns, woodwinds, and just about every other instrument that is either monophonic or can be played monophonic, like a lead violin for example.

Thanx Bob. I am no master of the wind controller. The end product is MIDI so I can correct and/or modify everything if need be.

Hello MarioD,

It's really original and enjoyable this track. It is rare to give jazzy sounds to a panflute and it is successful.

Hi Mario,

You do nice things with your windcontroller! The (pan)flute is a nice example of it. And I like the 'easy' drums in this melody. Fits nice. So I don't mind you were just lazy on them (putting them in one track).

Have a nice day,
Hans

Amen!! You are a master of score music!! Take care. Greg

Thanx Dero13. I like to experiment with different instruments and put them in different genres. I appreciate that you found this experiment successful.

Thanx Hans. Thanx for OKing my laziness!

No master, just an old guitarist having fun.

Mesmerizing, haunting, relaxing, addicting. A masterpiece.

Thanx so much for those very kind words.

Very atmospheric. Nice chill-out music.

Mario,

Very nice and mystic sound.
The combination of MIDI instruments you choose fits so well with this song.
Pan Flute using wind controller creates a great atmosphere.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hi Mario ...

The first thought came to mind as I listen was "enchanting". There's a subtle element of mystery and anticipation. Love the chord arrangement ... mysterious and dreamy with a a touch of "spooky".

Yes, enchanting and captivating. That was a fabulous listen! Thanks so much. Wishing you the very best. Please be safe ...

Alan

I believe you found the right title for this hauntingly exquisite piece. Your mastery of melody and your controller technique are on full display here. Another good one that most certainly belongs in a movie, Tom

Thanx so much for listening and comments.

Thanx for listening and this very nice review.

Thanx Alan for these comments. Thanx for noticing the chord progression also. I tried to capture the mood you have described so thanx for picking up on that.

Thanx so much Tom. I am still a beginner on the wind controller and I am a very slow learner, but I am trying. I'm not sure I am a "master of melody" but thanx for that anyway.

Mario,
Quietly hypnotic; I love the wind controller depth of tone on this- its felt as well as heard.
A relaxing closed-eyes treat.

Mario

Ethereal, and somewhat mesmerizing. Always enjoy your interesting compositions.

Peter

Mario,

Really fresh arrangement and feel to this tune. Easy on the ears—soothing. And a really nice mix. Well done!

Best regards,

Deej

I'm impressed by you & your controller.
The music is calming, gently and the pan pipe sample is pretty good too.
