Soul Searching You are lying on a grassy knoll staring at the star-studded sky. Your subconscious mind wonders in and out of your conscious mind slowly searching for your soul. BiaB style = Dreamy New Age, Tempo 65 BPM Deleted the drums Double bass and strings = Kontakt - preset Solid State Strings Piano - Structure and Keystone Classic (two separate VSTis) Guitar - Synthmaster 2 - preset - key Piano String GC I am playing the flute via my wind controller and the guitar. Effects - all but the double bass = Raum reverb Flute = Wave's Vocal Rider and Blue Cats Chorus Master = Presonus Dynamic Compression Feel free to comment anyway you wish.

Nice and relaxing, good for meditation. I liked it especially when the guitar came in.

Not as reverb drenched as I expected. You've stayed your hand well.
Lovely stuff.

Mario,
You make some of the best music on this forum... You have an exquisite touch on the guitar and wind controller.

Thanks, Mario. I'm still soaring, but the search is over. Scientists say you can't see a soul, but there it was in the changing clouds. You are a master, my friend. I LOVE THAT GUITAR, and the flute lifts one's search even higher.

Mario,
MAN! You are good at this kind of stuff.
Excellent piece.
I really think you could make some good money by putting out whole albums like this. There is a big market these days for meditation music - and this is superb meditation music. Get it on Amazon music and Apple Music (through CDBaby, maybe). If you caught on with the yoga crowd...you never know...

Good ideas, Floyd. The tested way of promoting music, though, doesn't involve starting at the top, but at the entry level.

Wow :-) The only thing I regretted here is that it ended so soon. I was in dreamland long before the end. Thanks - relaxing and beautiful stuff!

Mario,
Cool, serene piece. You certainly have a talent for writing meditation music. I like your mix too, everything has it's own space. Sweet guitar tone. Nice work on Wind controller. Nothing sticking out, flows very smoothly. Liked it! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Hello Mario ...
Such a wonderful listen ... you are the master of these ambient/meditation compositions. Love when your guitar came in at 2:29 ... what a nice touch! The mix and balance on every track is perfect. What a fantastic listen!
Wishing you the very best ...
Alan

Awesome! I like the tension and release you have in the chord progressions and the way the gtr follows around the flute and interacts melodically.
Thanks for sharing, Mario.

Mario,
Everything flows and floats beautifully...and then the guitar coming in keeps things earthed.
Lovely music!

Really nicely done on this one - it's wonderfully lush and truly beautiful. It flows effortlessly and all the elements to the song play with one another perfectly. The guitar work here is top notch as well. Wouldn't change a thing on this one - thanks for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk
