Blue Water Beach

You are sitting on a beach watching blue water waves hitting the nearby rocks. Some waves come in fast and furious, slowly dissipating onto the rocks. While some white cap further out in the sea and just ripple onto the rocks. (Hopefully I have emulated that with volume). Either way you are mesmerized.

BiaB Style = BossaBrushesFull
Tempo = 58 BPM

Piano - EZ Keys - Dream Machine - preset - 70s Pop
Strings - Kontakt Kirt Hunter Virtuoso strings
Strings 2 - I use Uchord to generate this track-Amadeus - full string ensemble and Kontakt - Solid State Orchestra
NOTE I slightly modified both string tracks
Drums - Steven Slate SSD5
I am playing my Xaviere humbucker guitar and SX fretless bass and via my wind controller the alto sax, Swam alto Sax 3 - warm.

FX - Raum reverb on all but the bass and drum tracks
Bass - Amplitube 5 - preset - Brit 8000 added chorus, Waves JJB Bass and Bass Rider
Alto sax and guitar - Delay

As always all comments welcomed


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

Some absolutely gorgeous tone colors in here, Mario. The opening windy notes drew me in immediately (and nice move with the 2nd part doing that echo.) I would give the less striking strings less prominence, or make them something else; they pull things in a more generic direction that sounds to me almost like a competition I wish they would lose. Listening again, I really really like the interplay between the winds and the bass. Lovely stuff.

Man, that is a great sound Mario. I've listened to it a few times now and each time it makes me feel like closing my eyes and drifting away. Very impressive.

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

Hi, Mario. When I first came to the forum this morning I saw you had another one here, and knew it was going to be a good day. Man, you play such a warm and wonderful sax, AND you don't have to endure that tickling reed. Everything sounds so good together. Often I type comments while listening, but with your tunes, it's like patting my head while rubbing circles on my stomach. Your stuff is mesmerizing, Mario. Your titles always seem the perfect match for the music, too.


Enjoy whatever happens!

I glad I wore the headphones for this. The effect of the stereo spread especially with the sax on the left and right "speaking to each other." Very nice!!! Pleasant and tranquil aural beach picture.

Love your stuff Mario...I'm a sucker for ethereal pieces that take me on a trip to a soothing place...each layer is so tastefully applied and evokes a contemplative and meditative mood!

FYI: the cut I listened to cut off abruptly at the end...a gentle fade would be nice

Lush and lovely!

We're more mountain than beach folks and it works perfectly for a mountain stream that emulates the white caps.

We love reading your posts and trying to figure out what the heck you do and how you do it so well. At least we have learned what a wind controller is.

Great!

This thing has been haunting my hypnagogic states. I think I should apologize to the strings, they are why I'm listening again right now. I wanted to hear that color again.
