Meditation Anyone

Just sit back and let your mind wonder.

BiaB style - Karma - New Age Smooth Jazz
Tempo - 30 BPM

I deleted the drums, guitar, and strings

Bass - Kontakt - Amadeous - Basses
Piano - Kontakt - TBZ11 - Heavenly Pad
Utility Track - Kontakt - TBZ06 - Soft Focus
Vibes - a harp MIDI track that I chose to use Kontakt - Pure Jazz Vibes as my sound source

I am playing the Forest Kingdom - Quilted Maple Native American Flute via my MIDI keyboard controller.

As always all comments are welcomed.

What? Where am I? What just happened??? Oh...I was letting my mind wander down the meditation path with your tune and...it worked! Very pretty and relaxing indeed. That IS quite a nice pad, and your flute weaves a lovely melodic journey. Your are the King of the MIDI Kingdom, and I travel your realm with admiration and wonder. Great job!

Hi Mario,
Love that flute. To be honest, I wasn't sure about it as a whole at first. But the more I listened, the more I was happily pulled into the realm you created. It is definitely transporting.

We are looking out a window as we listen.
The leaves in our surrounding forest are literally moving in time with the music.
That will last until one of a zillion squirrels spoils the moment. smile

Great composition, arrangement, mix and THAT FLUTE.

Nice

Anyone seeking a meditation sound track could consider buying the new Meditations remix of Lennon's Mind Games, ( stretched across two LPs, with added instrumentation and mix by Sean Lennon - utter nepo baby twaddle in other words).
Reading J&B's comment made me think of Squirrel Nut Zippers!
Lovely soundscape Mario!


Cheers

Thanx Carl.
There were two pads I used in the background. Both are from The Blue Zone Synths. You will need the full version of Kontakt to use them. I hope this helps.

Om, mono pod me broom. My mind at first wondered what the chords are, but then it wandered to the distant call of your relaxing flute. So well felt and played, Mario. I was immediately reminded of a Navajo guide that once took a friend and me around a tour of his family's land. When we came to a special slot canyon he let us roam around listening to the sound of his flute echoing throughout the magical space. Not sure you'll recieve that as the special respect I have for you, but that's my comment.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Light the candles and burn the incense. Relax your mind and float downstream. Such a dreamy piece. Well done! I love the rich ethereal textures.

I don't know if I'll reach wisdom by listening to this music but I had a good time. In a world where everyone is in a hurry here is a little moment of tranquility.

A lovely atmosphere conducive to meditation and relaxation, indeed. I also like your electric guitar rock tracks. It sounds different, but that's where we find the richness and palette of true composers. Thank you, Mario.
