Soul Searching

Your mind is in a turmoil. You are trying to decide it you should take a different path in life or stay on the course you are on. Staying on course is safe while trying something new is challenging and frightening. Which way will you go only the shadow knows.

BiaB Style - Nashville 2-Beat
Tempo - 45 BPM
I deleted the bass and drums
Piano - EZKeys 2 - Dream Machine - MK VII Dreams
Guitar - Kontakt - Picked Nylon
Utility - Kontakt - TBZ11 - Heavenly Pad and EastWest - Symphonic choir -Full Choir

Me - I am playing my Squire P-Bass and, SX Tele and via my breath and keyboard controllers the Swam Tenor Sax.

As always all comments are welcomed.

Very soothing, easy-listening track. Didn't find any turmoil there. Very nice articulations on the guitar.

Good job, Mario!


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile

Mario,

Some really beautiful smokey and mysterious tones...

I really like the nylon guitar and that Swam sax is wonderful. Awesome mix.

Loved it!

My continual perplexity in life: stay or go. Nice and dreamy with a soothing touch.

Well, me and the shadow have no secrets. We follow each other on Instragram. That Tele sounds sweet in your hands, Mario. That sax is very moving --emotionally, not distance. smile Nice touch of taste. Need help here. Can't decide if it is beautifully mysterious or mysteriously beautiful. Wait, that's an easy one. No mystery about it beautiful. You wrote it, so...


Enjoy whatever happens!

Very well put together, Mario.
The high notes saying, "shall I stay?" and the low notes, "should I go?"
The sax is a friend offering advice.
Cinematic stuff.

Hi Mario,

A full and engaging soundstage. You excel with these songs. You have a fine ear for track selection and mixing. The BG synths are wonderful!

Take care,

Alan

Lush reverb ties this together really nicely. LOVE the grit in the sax.

Mario you're becoming a wiz at these atmospheric ambient pieces.
I love the unhurried feel and the sustained synths and voices - very peaceful (turmoil long gone).
The bass works really well, just keeping things moving enough.
Nice guitar and sax too.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi, Mario.

It's like taking a stroll through the clouds of mystery.

Well played.

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

Another amazing dreamscape, Mario. Love the sound of both the guitar and the Swam sax. You're really a very good Swammer and never get caught in any rip tides!

Lovely and nuanced yet speaks to the turmoil in a subtle manner.

Your bass, guitar and THAT SAX were ace.
Great tracks supporting the above also.

Per always a nice mix. Everything fits in most excellently on our monitors.
Just an excellent soundstage.

Yeah, we like it!

Marty, I didn't know that the shadow was on Instagram. I hope he said nice things about me!

Thanx for this very kind review.
