BiaB style = Space Mellow Guitar - converted to MIDI Tempo = 65 BPM I deleted the guitar, drums, and bass tracks Piano - EZKeys - Dream Machine - preset-MK Dreams Strings - Phoenix Mirage - preset - smoothest choir2 Utility chord track - Phoenix Mirage - preset - old school strings Drums - GrooveMonkee MIDI loops - Steven Slate SSD-5 preset Jazzy Jerry Note I modified all four tracks to better fit the song. Me - Squire P-bass, guitar, and via my MIDI keyboard controller - Kontakt - Whiskey Series - preset - Honky Tonk Harmonica

Mario,
You are the king of otherworldly sounds... Love the sound and feel of this tune. The reverb is some of the best I have heard here.
Excellent!
Bob

Hey Mario...the title fits this piece very well...the dreamy synths in the pad are very relaxing...some of your movements seem non-melodic in nature and that's exactly how dreams seem to go...not sticking to conventional thought...love the sound of the harmonica...cool piece!

Hi Mario,
You are really very broad oriented!
I wrote that before and promptly you started singing...
Then I wrote it again
And promptly you started dreaming this cool instrumental for us...
What will you do when I write it again?
Almost famous!!!

Excellent!
Bob Thanx Bob. That reverb is Raum from Native Instruments. I got it when it was offered to NI customers for free. IMHO it is well worth the $49 USD price tag. https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/effects/raum/Hey Mario...the title fits this piece very well...the dreamy synths in the pad are very relaxing...some of your movements seem non-melodic in nature and that's exactly how dreams seem to go...not sticking to conventional thought...love the sound of the harmonica...cool piece! Dan, thanx so much for this very kind review.

Thanx so much Kajun. Neat! That harmonica is on my "to get" list at some point. Sounds cool! Pleasant to listen to. David, this Embertone - Honkytonk Harmonica is the best blues harp I have ever heard. Note that you will need the full version of Kontakt to run it.

fj Thanx Floyd. Thanx for that bass remark. Although I am basically a guitarist I do like to dabble with the bass.

Really nice Captain,
This "dream" is somewhere between the open range out West and halfway to the center of the Milky Way.
Great harmonica and strings, very soothing.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2025 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Mario—
Another really well done instrumental. You have a talent for coming up with titles to your instrumentals . . . they really capture the vibe of what you’ve put together. Excellent production elements on here. As Floyd noted, that bass line works really well. Love the guitar solo—contrasting so that it really pops. Good work!
All my best to you,
Deej

I will let the listeners write what they hear in this one. I hear a campfire, some trees in the background, and the sun setting peacefully behind them. An old man rolls a cigarette, takes his harmonica and thinks about the past.

I hear: Title: "Redwoods" Verse 1: A lonely man sits around a campfire in the redwood forest, The stars twinkle above and an owl sings like it's lost He takes out a cigarette and starts to roll it, Thinking about a girl, and how much his life has cost Chorus: Maybe he should leave California before too long Maybe one day he'll get out a guitar and write that girl a song Verse 2: And he takes out his harmonica case and starts to play, As the cracking fire shows every line on his face As he remembers her sweet love and her embrace Thinking that in forty years, no one ever took her place Chorus: Maybe he should leave California before too long Maybe one day he'll get out a guitar and write that girl a song Verse 3: The fire is burning low and the embers glow, He takes one last drag of his cigarette smoke then he stares up at the stars, Wishing he could turn back time and have her in his arms. Chorus: Maybe he should leave California before too long Maybe one day he'll get out a guitar and write that girl a song Maybe one day he'll get out a guitar and write that girl a song a lonely Redwoods song Yeah Try that man.

Mario, Really I was just trying to be funny. But I found that style you were using. Let me work out a verse and chorus and send you back the sgu and the vocals wav. It could be fun. It might be slightly different but fun to mess with.
