Sorrow? Feeling down and out? Having your thoughts fade in and out? Well this song ain't gonna help ya. BiaB Style - Pop Rock 16th note waltz Tempo - 60 BPM I deleted the bass and drums. I also copied the string and utility tracks so there were two of each. Piano - EZKeys2 - Dream Machine - MKVII Dimension Guitar - Kontakt - Pure Jazz Vibes Strings 1 - Kontakt - Kirt Hunter - Virtuoso Strings - Strings Strings 2 - Kontakt - Solid State Orchestra - Strings Utility 1 - EZKeys MIDI track - Kontakt - Amadeus - Full String Ensemble Utility 2 - EZKeys MIDI track - Kontakt - The String Collection 2 - TSC2 In The Clouds I am playing the fretless bass, nylon string guitar, and via my keyboard controller the Swam flute's Bansuri. As always all comments are welcomed.

Mario, this is lovely! Don't think it sounds sad, but that just be my predisposition for unsadness. Ha! The instruments and your playing sound great. Love when the nylon string guitar comes in. Very cool composition!

Nice.
The flute sounds great.
Boy! your nylon sounds good, too!
Nice Bass sound.
A lovely piece (I found it "peaceful", rather than "sorrowful").
I did not care for the sound of the strings on the left side (sounds like chords?) - they have a "generated" sound (or "synth sound"). From the list you supplied, I would not have expected that. (they came across as "loud", too - at least on my speakers). Grain of salt stuff.

Hi Mario ...
Very, very peaceful and "settling". As mentioned previously, the flute and nylon guitar are fabulous. I agree with Floyd that the strings on the left are a bit loud. But, all that said, this is a lovely piece of music. You are so good at this pop-ambient stuff - probably the best on the forum for this style. loved it! All your music is wonderfully soothing, but this one might be the best.

fj Thanx Floyd. The nylon is a ultra cheap $69 guitar that I put a cheap round guitar tuning piezo pickup on. I think it sounds good after a little EQ. Those strings are synth strings, i.e. Solid State Strings and The String Collection 2. Many times I will mix them with Amadeus or Virtuoso strings. I must have messed up on the mix so thanx for pointing that out.

I think it's more of a relaxing song than a sad one.
I really like it, especially what you did with the nylon.
Enjoyed the listen.
A lot!
I think you should release a chillout album one day, you're good at that.
