Cool Waters You are sitting by your campfire watching the lake's waves slowly come to shore. Most are very similar but on occasion one will make a large splash. Large fluffy snowflakes from the first snowfall are slowly dancing in front of your eyes but you don't care, you are in a serenity state of mind. BiaB style - Rendevous - Arpeggiated Ballad Tempo = 85 BPM Piano - Keyzone classic EP All of the following BiaB tracks are Kontakt instruments: Bass - Kirt Hunter virtuoso instruments-bass- Cellos - bass track raised one octave - Kirt Hunter virtuoso instruments - cellos Guitar - Gentle Vibes Strings - Kirt Hunter virtuoso instruments-strings I am playing the timpani, cymbals, chimes, and harp loops via my keyboard controller. I am playing the flute via my wind controller. All are Kontakt instruments. All but the bass and cellos have Raum reverb added.
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.

I was already entranced by your explanation of the song Yes, I believe you have captured everything that you described. Very orchestral and a great choice of instruments. Congrats, for sure.

Mario,
Really well done. The king of New Age on these forums, for sure...
Everything sounds good (as always). Good mix. Good playing...

Beautiful. More than just beautiful - it really is stunning. It just builds up. And it's ten times, twenty times better than all that New Age stuff we keep hearing that sounds always as if it's recycled or something. The only thing I didn't like about this was that it ended. Well done, Mario.

Thanks, I think you just gave me an non-pharmaceutical B/P reduction tool.
I love the water, lived aboard my boat for many years, this brought me back to those pleasant days.
Beautiful. Well done!

Beautiful! Sounds like a cross between Massenet's Meditation and DeBussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fawn. Really nice!

it's a lovely piece Mario! The chimes had me envisioning the effect of wind blowing across the water creating ripples! You always do these songs so beautifully! T

The flute sample really sounds great when you get up the register a bit. You are one clever midi man considering your terrific guitar skills are added to that bank of talent it's no wonder this sounds lovely.

It's so cool when music takes us to places we never knew existed right behind our closed eyes. You live there, Mario, and it's a beautiful landscape. Musicscape. Escape.

Hi, Mario !
You are a master of Ambient music and this is good proof of that ! One can really shut one´s eyes and fall back to be carried away to a dreamland far, far away !
I love this Mario !
Stay safe and take care
Your friend Dani

Mario ...
Powerful yet soft and lovely. You took us to the place you described in your narrative. And it was a most pleasant journey and visit. You write some gorgeous songs, all of them so peaceful to hear. Simply gorgeous!@
Wishing you a fabulous 2021.

Hi MarioD,
You really manage to make us travel in a soft and warm atmosphere. The choice of your instruments is great. It is a very pleasant instrumental composition and we imagine the snowflakes surrounding us. Very pleasant to listen to by the fire, as you kindly say.
Kindly regards Derochette aliasJaniJackFlash

Thanx Gary, Tano Music, Scott C, Ray C, Marty, Dani, Robert, Peter F, Alan & Di, and Derochette for taking the time to listen and comment on my song. I greatly appreciate those very 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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
Friday, March 29: 8-4
Saturday, March 30: 8-4
Sunday, March 31: closed
Regular hours resume Monday, April 1st - no joke!
