Lost in my Thoughts

I was just experimenting with an orchestra and guitar combo.

BiaB style = Slow, Peaceful 3/4 Orc
Tempo = 45 BPM

Bass - I copied the bass track. One bass track I left as a double bass. The other bass track I transposed up and octave and change the bass to a cellos

The Piano track became a harp track

The guitar became an solid state orchestra track

The strings remained strings

I played the lead violin track via my wind controller.

I copied the lead violin track, lowered it an octave, and change it to a viola track.

All of the above tracks had a Presonus Pro EQ on them.

Lead guitar - my Kramer Nightrider into the Amplifkation Vermilion amp VST. I added the TRS Tape Echo to it.

The master track effects were the Presonus EQ, Presonus compression and the soft tube saturation.


Have you ever noticed there are no lines to a bathroom at a water park?

I feel like "Lost in my Thoughts" is a good name for an experiment. Sounds like it was successful. Thanks for sharing.

Lush and floaty. A very pleasant listen. You did one of my favorite things with midi...and more than once. I think the results work very well.

Nice liquid guitar over the backing.
Some of the stuff on the left is a little too dense for the lines it played rather than the pad/block parts.
I know you've a bass and a cello in there but nothing is holding the track on earth - nothing solid that is.
Doesn't matter: it sounds nice as a SOUNDscape.


Cheers

Pure magic Mario! Maybe its just the mood I'm in this morning but this thing is beautiful! It puts the listener in a surreal contemplative place! I believe this one is my favorite of yours so far! You've painted a lovely work of art with music! Thanks, Torrey

Wow - I really liked this one. It is stunning and cinematic, and is just as exciting as it is stripped back. The open space in the tune helps it flow beautifully. It reminds me a little bit of early Tangerine Dream.

Not a thing I'd change on this one. Thanks for sharing smile

Mario,
Very atmospheric. I like lead guitar on this, blends in super nicely. Overall sounds mighty and wholesome.

Minor critique. I think the strings are a bit loud on it compared to guitar. Guitar has very sweet tone and I feel should not be shy, but be more upfront. I am not a pro guy, just an opinion of listener.

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Beautiful track... I love the atmosphere it creates and (sorry Misha)... I think the guitar supplements the strings perfectly as it is. smile

Thanks a lot for sharing!

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

We enjoyed the mood piece and the background info on how it was done.

Us being just a couple of rhythm guitar and bass folks we are amazed at the versatility of your skills.

That experiment yielded a lovely and obviously well performed composition.

LUSH!!!!

Ember, Scott C, Tangmo, Torrey, Deryk, Floyd, Jim, Will, David, thanx so much for listening and the comments.

Rayc, Rustyspoon, thanks for those constructive criticisms. I really appreciate them, as that is how I learn. I will be more careful in the future.

J&B, I just an old guitarist trying new things. After many years in wedding bands and playing what they wanted now I am on my own playing what I want, sometimes far out of my comfort zone.

More magic from the Midi Master. Beautiful. Top shelf production. Soundtrack-worthy for sure.

And that reverb is so lush and natural, suberb!
