Mario, really nice composition and super playing. I sometimes forget how impressive MIDI instruments can sound in the hands of a master. Bravo! Thanx Ron. Yes MIDI get a bad rap because of the GM sounds that are included with BiaB/RB. One must have good MIDI sound sources to get better sounding tracks. That and a bare minimum MIDI controllers can do wonders.
Unclear if the pianist is a total beginner or a professional jazz player?

Lovely mix again, Mario. You certainly put a lot of work into your compositions. Thanx so much. I have been working with MIDI since the mid 1980s so it really doesn't take me that long to produce a song, of course that is with BiaB. Before BiaB when I had to do everything myself it did take a lot of work.

Mario,
I think the simple melody you have in mind can be turned into a solid cinematic orchestral piece.
The assignment of various orchestral instruments to BIAB's MIDI style was very successful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best Regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thanx so much for this wonderful review.

It is always big pleasure to find out where your beautiful melodies and lush arrangements lead me to. This one had several different moods, majestic, calm, sad - and then the drums surprised me - I felt some royal wedding going on. I can picture Mario conducting a big symphony orchestra with broad strokes and then imagine many more Marios playing their instruments enthusiastically. Superb work with playing all those instruments, I can only admire your hard work.
Janne

Glad you didn't get up!  All those controller tracks ... wow. You could blow a sailboat across the Atlantic. It's hard to imagine all the "head work" that it takes to create and arrange all those parts. As we so oft say it is ethereal, cinematic and deserving of a film placement. Most cool! J&B

Janne Thanx so much Janne. However there are a number of people who would dread having more that one Mario!

J&B Thanx so much Janice and Bud. Arranging the tracks wasn't a problem however mixing was difficult, especially for these old ears. I'm glad you liked it.

Ambient film music ... yep, that's what you do.
I don't find it boring, it has a nice calming effect on me.

You stack your tracks to create a very rich sound/harmony. Tiny parts of it reminded me of In The Year 2525 melodically.
BIG.

BIG. Thanx Ray. I was just playing In the Year 2525 yesterday. It is one of my favorite songs.
