Daydreams of NIghtdreams Sometimes your night dreams can be dark and in black and white. But if you day dream the identical dream it may lighten up and be in full color. Note that I have been working on this for some time now and I am way out of my comfort zone so please feel free to comment anyway you like. I am always open to suggestions. BiaB Style = Chamber 1 Orchestra - Tempo = 70 BPM Note the string tracks were dissected and placed on separate tracks. Most all tracks were slightly modified. 2x Bass - Kontakt - Amadeus - basses Piano - Kontakt - Grand Rhapsody Piano Strings 1 - Kontakt - Amadeus - violins 1 Strings 1a - Kontakt - Amadeus - violins 2 Strings 2 - Kontakt - Amadeus - full string ensemble Strings 3 - Kontakt - Amadeus - violins 1 Tracks played with my wind controller French Horn - Kontakt - Amadeus - French Horn - Oboe - Kontakt - Amadeus - oboe ensemble Bassoon - Kontakt - Amadeus - Bassoon ensemble String leads - Kontakt - Amadeus - full string ensemble - copied from Oboe track All tracks have Presonus Pro EQ and Breverb - preset = cathederal Master has Pro EQ and Presonus compression

Very beautifully orchestral, Mario.
The woodwind is exceptional.
I really believe you've delivered further proof of the capabilities of this system.
A classic performance.

Hi Mario, This is really lovely. I'm a huge John Barry fan and I'll happily slot this into my movie themes playlist alongside his. Dunno how long you've been working on this but it was well worth the wait. Really beautiful. 
Music is what feelings sound like.

Mario,
Awesome. Really well done. Very movie-ish.
I thought the full strings could use more reverb (you noted that you used "cathedral" reveb, but I do not get that sense from them...and that is what they should be...)
Excellent.

Thanks for sharing this Mario!

A classic performance. Thanx so much VT. I think BiaB can be used in just about, if no all, music genres. Just think a little out of the box, not pun intended

Dunno how long you've been working on this but it was well worth the wait. Really beautiful. Thanx so much Mr_Songman. Thanx for the John Barry comment but I'm not where near his abilities. I've been working on this for about a month. I'm glad that you liked it.

Thanx Floyd. Actually I did have more reverb on the strings but I thought that it washed out to much of the articulations. I must have cut back to far on it though. Thanx for pointing that out.

Thanx for listening and the very nice comments. I'll bet that you could produce a piece of music like this if you tried.

Thanks for sharing this Mario! Thanx for these extremely nice comments and for noticing the chord progressions. I like messing with chords progressions.

Mario,
The movement in the progression is impressive- you capture a sweep of emotions.
I`m not qualified to comment on all the techniques you used here, except to say I enjoyed the soundscape!

It sounds, without the strings probably, like it belongs on the Watership Down soundtrack.
Lovely.
Cheers

Approaching a classical piece... With a strange other worldly vibe. Did you use only Biab & a DAW in the production... Or did you also use a notation software... I'm impressed but curious

Hi Mario,
Here is a 2-layered answer to your music:
First of all... the melody, the arrangement, the orchestration is wonderful.. I envy your talent for such fantastic compositions... I truly enjoyed listening.
With that said... I am not that convinced by the sounds of Amadeus... imagine this outstanding composition done with something like Nucleus... it would have been even more wonderful to listen to...
Thanks for sharing, Mario... your talent is amazing!
Will

Lovely. Thanx Ray. I had to look up Watership Down and I think, from the snip it that I heard, that you could be right.

My workflow generally is play with a chord progression and style in BiaB then drag and drop that into my DAW. Once I get the backing tracks the way I want them I will then start to work on a lead. Very seldom do I use notation. BUT on this one I did print out the oboe lead line so I could 1-work the bassoon and French horn parts off of it and 2-so I could remember it for the string lead. I like to take BiaB style tracks and either modify them and/or separate them like I did with the string backing tracks. I separated those tracks and brought them in and out during the song.
