New tune hot off the studio presses. Hope you enjoy.
Take care all.
Mike
I enjoy all of your music Mike....
and I really need stuff like this... it is like when a negative ion gets too highly charged with energy and could annihilate itself and other charges around it this positive mellowness charge negates that annihilation.
It is a lovely sax against a backdrop of wonderful rhythm, bass, and other lovely sounds all around... I collect your songs for listening! Thanks
Nice mellow track and that sax sounds great.
Exceptional piece. Very well put together (as usual) with tons of good feelings! 8)
Nice chill out piece Mike... I agree with Steve, this kinda pulls our pieces back together when we lose sight of things. Good stuff.

Yes this has that cool vibe, just very relaxing.
Pro sounding mix too, just enjoyed this lots!!!
Chill out and relaxing! Sounds so good via phones. The sax has so authentic sound. Enjoyable listening!
Very relaxing chilled vibe,love the sax sound.
The sound right at the beginning, almost like a thermin reminds me of a sound in the original star treck theme.
My only criticism would be to loose the chorus voices throughout and replace them with maybe a gut string sound.
I think the samples of voices like this date the track.
I personally feel the track would be richer without them.
All the instruments like the sax etc sound real ,when these vocals come in then it sounds sampled.
But only my opinion Mike
An excellent song.
Nice easy listening track, pro production, love the sax and harmonies, very nicely made and mixed, has a real nice friendly feel to the music.
Got my oral surgery yesterday so just sitting here chilling and this is right up my alley nice

Thank you everyone. So glad you enjoyed the tune.

I am immediately transported into a peaceful state of mind by this. I assume this is all virtual instruments - but it is great because it sounds so real. You have a great talent for composition, the technology (selecting great plugins), and production!

Thank you. Yes all sounds are generated from my various keyboards and VSTs. All recorded into Reaper as tracks. Final mixing also done in Reaper using effects from Ozone FX plug-ins. Final mastering accomplished with AVS Audio Editor. I work hard to use synthetic instruments and play them in the actual instruments range and articulations.
Glad you enjoyed it.

This is really cool. It sounds to me like you've levelled up another level in your production and arrangement/composition since the last one of yours I listened to on here.
This one vibes like some elements are from your very powerful workstation/arranger keys, and some added on top for sugar. The mix is excellent. The melody is cool. Very relaxing.
The "doodoodah" parts remind me of Roland arranger keyboard doodahs, which I like.
I think you succeeded in making the instruments feel realistic and articulated, not like someone bashing "sax" and "flute" presets on a keyboard and ignoring what flutes can and can't do.
I think most listeners who haven't spent a lot of time listening to keyboard and vsts (like me) would think this one was real acoustic instruments.
Incidentally while I'm a cubase and bitwig guy mostly, I recently bought reaper and I'm amazed at what it can do. It seems you've gotten good at the reaper thing.

WRT the doodoodah parts, they are actually from OMNISPHERE II. Glad you enjoyed the tune. Thanks for the kind words.

Not even a laptop sound system could do damage to this. Absolutely enthralling. I can imagine this track being used endlessly (subject to licensing etc), in U.S. 'rom-com' movies (when the strike's over obviously), in the part where they've inevitably split-up and then go for a walkabout singly while reflecting on what could've been - and usually is by the final credits. Excellent work. Well done. 8)
Beautiful! Lowers the blood pressure.

Thanks
