Mind Trip

You can visualize being in a meditation class, a yoga class, or you are back in the 60's and on LSD.

Warning, I know this is not a genre that everyone likes. The lead lines are not very dominate and blend in with the backing tracks.

This one came about in an unusual way, at least for my workflow. It was a RT song that I took the chart data and just selected the sounds. The only modification I made was to the string track where I deleted a good portion of it. This started out one way but ended up in another universe. BiaB does that to lot with me! I am convinced that with BiaB and a little imagination you can create any genre you want to create.

BiaB style = Circle Ambient Lap Steel
Tempo = 55BPM

I delete the drums.
I kept the lap steel - 3693 guitar, lap steel, background, slow, ambient ev065
Bass - raised two octaves - Synthmaster - BL Celeste MK
Piano - EZ Keys - Dream Machine - MK Dreams
Guitar - AAS String Studio VS-3 - Factory Library - Sreamy State
Strings - AAS - Ultra analog VA-3 - Cinematheque - 22 Medium

Master - Presonus Compression

Note that BiaB generated the entire song. All I did was to select the sounds.

Feel free to comment good or bad.

Nice! My chair is... rocking...

You know, if you mix this sort of thing "binaurally" you can sell it for "brain programming" material (headphones required.) There's even a company selling "iDoses" where you download MP3s for LSD, psilocybin, heroin, alcohol, etc.

Exactly as advertised.

Only... if that was the LSD you used in the '60s, you might want a refund. (Sorry, couldn't resist wink )

Thanx for listening and commenting.

iDon'tThinkSo for the iDoses grin

Thanx David.

No LSD for me ever. But now I have EKGs a lot!

Well, I have to say that I really loved it! It is unusual for sure but I always wanted to go back to meditation and I will use your tune for my sessions. Very relaxing, deep and profound!

This is pretty darn good for a BIAB generated piece. The sounds you chose create a pleasant and cosmic aural picture. I like the little drifting off part for the ending.

This, in part, reminds me of Fripp & Eno - no pussyfooting etc. - lovely stuff Mario.

ROFLMAO !
(I'm not one who has ever tried it, but I might have expected a little more 'trip buzz' also crazy )
Regardless of the 'trip level', cool song, Mario.

Really enjoyed this one, Mario, very relaxing! Great forum reading background music, too. Thank you for posting.

Mario,

Excellent meditation music. You do this SO well. There is a big market for this kind of music - you could easily sell these (with a little bit of self marketing, of course).

Good mix.

Chilled. To the max.

Hi Mariod love the sounds puts you in a trance very relaxing nice work Mario!!!

Mind trips are dangerous, you may end up at a place where you can't get out. Bit scary, definitely something that's going inside and not in nature. Very cool space like sounds, nothing tells that BIAB was involved, thus showing the power of our amazing tool and the talented mind smile

Thanx. I saw people on LSD and said "that sure as hell ain't for me"! The only thing I did was to take a couple of puffs on a joint and that almost made me cough up a lung! I looked the part but I was not into drugs ever.

Thanx so much Janne. I'm not so sure about that talented mind comment.

Hi, Mario !:))

....and a Happy New Year to you too !

Now, you took me on a trip thru space
a very delightful one may I say and
Space Odyssey came to my mind but
it is Mario allthru - really superbly
done !:)

Film music without a doubt - but
a special film naturally - maybe that
long journey to mars ?

Cheers
Dani

Nice demonstration of where BiaB can take one.

We completely agree with floyd's comment regarding marketing this tune.

Heck, we've had blues rock songs licensed and I know there is a MUCH larger market for this smile

Well done ... again.

Mario,

You are leading the way with these "experimental" type song generations from the program! This piece is certainly mesmerizing and has a tremendously good sound to it! I don't have to be meditating or in a yoga class to appreciate your work here! I grew up in the 60's and 70's but the LSD thing passed me by! I smile every time I listen to something you post! Thanks, Torrey

Yep, great stuff for mind expansion. No chemicals required!

Thanx Dani. A lot of people think my music is fit for the movies. But I doubt any movie producer will ever show up in this little hamlet where I live grin

Thanx J&B. Did you register your songs with the patent department? I'm thinking about doing a CD with this kind of music.

{edit} - We probably should carry this conversation via PMs.

You, Mario, are such a mind trip yourself. Love your creativity, man. You're one of those special folks that shun LSD because it would only bring you down from your own glorious mind trip. Thanks for sharing. Yes, I love that about this program, how it encourages us to explore new options in our writing, and you do a great job of following your muse.

Hello Mario
I am really speechless
This is really absolute top class
When I heard it for the first time I closed my eyes and suddenly saw underwater shots in front of me.
I found this so exciting that I watched a whale video on youtube without sound and played your song to it.
Awesome, Mario
This is just perfect
So if I would make underwater films then I would already know who composes my music to it ;-)
Give it a try... as an example take this whale short film :

Great work, Mario
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

This is great Mario. Terrific sounds and so peaceful.
I was going to describe it as ethereal but then I checked my trusty thesaurus.
So, this song is heavenly, airy, divine, celestial, fragile and ethereal.

Thanx everyone for the very kind support. I appreciate all of you.
Posted By: RnAM Re: Mind Trip - 01/25/22 11:56 AM
Really relaxing.
Even without yoga class!
Very suitable for an "under water movie", fishes slowly swimming by, coral banks etc.

Mario,
This was always slipping away. Finally caught it! Wonderful sound exploration and meditational piece. Beauty. Now I don't want to work... See what you did? Thank you for sharing.

Misha.
