Distant Dreams Lost in a dreamland far far away. I was messing around with EZKeys2 and it gave me an interesting 8 bar section. Using its MIDI out I played it using a full string orchestra. I went into BiaB, listed said chord progression, and expanded on it. I then dragged and dropped the BiaB tracks into Studio One Pro 6, merged it with the EZKey section, copied the entire string section and forced it to follow the chord chart. I initially had a guitar lead but I purchase Apachie, and American Indian flute for $4 USD. I played it and replaced the guitar lead with it. BiaB style - Karma.sty - New Age Smooth Jazz Tempo - 58 BPM Strings - Kontakt - Solid State Strings - Kirk Hunter's Virtuoso Strings and Amadeus strings - patches - both full string orchestra Bass - Kontakt - Kirk Hunter's Virtuoso Cellos and Amadeus Cellos - note I heavily modified this track to better fit the song Guitar - Kontakt - Resonator Glockenspiel Piano - Waves - Grand Rapsody - panned far left Piano2 - from Firewood.sty - Waves - Grand Rapsody - panned far right I am playing the Apachie flute via my wind controller. As always all comments welcomed.

Mario,
This is a beautiful piece of music... Love the flute and production.
Sounds like a backdrop to a movie.

I'd love to see you at work in your lab, Mario. You are in a tattered old white coat, hair fashioned with an Einstein look, adding bits of your mind into your creation, notes flying around your computer --some discarded while others enforced. There is a beautiful aura swirling around above the scene --the visual soundscape you are creating. Magnificent music that the world needs.
Then I wake up and smile with the distant dream. You sure make the day better, Mario.

Very relaxing man. Distant Dreams is a great title. You should use this as the title track for a whole album of soothing music called Distant Dreams.  P.S. I see you are constantly working on controlling your wind. How is that coming along? Any progress? Do I need to get ChatGPT to help me write a song about that?

Very relaxing and chilling...just what you need after a busy day.
The flute/glockenspiel and flute/strings combinations work really well.

The lightning bolts from my generator to my clamp-on head bolts that run through my body to my electric guitar may frighten you. I'm extremely glad that you like my little ditties.

At my age controlling my wind is an ever ending battle! Go ahead any let ChatGPT to write a song about it! I'll bet it will be like classical gas

Song sounds majestic like a soaring eagle.
Nicely done.
EZKeys2 is next on my list to purchase. I hope to in the next couple weeks. I have a Native American flute, acoustic not digital, in the key of Am. I've been wanting to add it to a song, but I haven't composed one yet that will work. I like what you did with your WC NA flute.

Hi Mario ...
Scott (Ezekiel's Storm) has already alluded to what crossed my mind as I listened - bird(s) in free flight.
This is gorgeous! You seem to have blended that thin line between cinematic and new age with perfection. So carefree and relaxing.
As always, excellent work. You are very creative and imaginative. Excellent!

EZKeys2 is a fantastic piece of software that compliments BiaB. In fact many of the piano tracks are superior to BiaB's piano tracks. Many of EXKeys2 tracks sound great as full string orchestras. I would love to hear that flute!

You never disappoint. Ever so calm and beautiful. I usually like to listen with a critical mind, but, this time (appropriately enough, for New Age music), I just drifted off for much of it! Beautiful, soaring solo line. Bravo.

Lovely and relaxing.
Dreamlike, just like it says on the tin.
There's enough repetition in the flute line to give it coherence, and space to let it breath.
