Another great mood composition with your superb playing.
The guitar and sax combo work together so well.

There's a current thread on the songwriting forum about what constitutes an instrumental and what makes certain ones stand out. I suggest folks listen to a series of your posts for some excellent examples of the power of instrumentals.

Well done!

Thanx so much for this rave review Tom. Thanx for the guitar comment because I am green with envy of your excellent chops.

I think you mean SWAM sax, unless you're playing a "swan song" ... wink

Nice storytelling - the guitar makes a nice contrast to the sax, and they're both well played and a sustain interest - even without the written explanation.

Love the wistful feel of the sax here.

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

You wind controller work is always a treat. Nice samples too.
Good work Mario - I still wear a leather jacket when I ride my motorcycle - went for a 30km ride yesterday. Although I've been riding since 1979 I didn't own a leather jacket until my wife bought me one in 87.
Nothing wrong with a Tele clone.
Lovely stuff.


Cheers

Little bit of Acker Bilk going on melodically, nice job with this one. Sax tone is excellent. A few ornaments in your playing here and there will up the bar a lot. Keep it going!

Yes, one should wear leather when riding a motorcycle. Thanx for listening and commenting.

Thanx, I have been experimenting with the tenor sax tone. I'm glad that you noticed it. I am still trying to learn that wind controller.

Thanx for the nice comments.

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."
