Finger style and Acoustic Progressive guitar, flute, synth and Mellotron.
Welcome to the music of Carlo D'Anna's Ridiculous Dream music. Also known as "Dream Warrior" in some circles. Influences and music styles ranging from basic to progressive rock, with definite Retro seventies sound. If you enjoy the sound of Moody Blues, George Harrison, Genesis, Dead Can Dance, and others of the same style, more or less, you will probably like this music. I use quite a bit of Mellotron and acoustic fingerstyle guitar as well.

Wow...what a ride this was. Just when you think it's going in one direction we get pulled into another...dark, exotic, thrilling... Really love the mixture of guitar, mellotron (always a hit with me!) and everything else you expertly add here. I soooo want to see the circus in your mind that inspired this!! :)

A great delight of a song, Carlo! Your imagination captured perfectly in music what you intended as described in your song's description. Wonderful instrumentation of guitars and other elements. STELLAR,indeed, is this Super Circus Song.

Lots of different musical influences and effects playing around here in this epic production, like the crowd around the 2 minute mark.
Love how the old circus sounds come in about 4:30 and the effect/music from there to the end - brilliant.

Quite amazing how you create such 'visual' pieces. To me this has a slightly middle-Eastern feel in places which kind of conjures up the alternative Egyptian world from the original Stargate movie. Brilliant. Love how you 'introduce an 'audience' at about 1:50 and the 'dreamy' feel at about 4:40 leading to a great Big Finish. Outstanding Carlo . . .top marks; very very original.

Amazing creativity - brilliantly original chord sequences, stunning guitar tones and an otherwordly vibe. This exactly how the circus is on Alpha Centauri, where abducted humans are displayed in plexiglass cages to the shock and astonishment of all. Alledgedly. Hell yeah Carlo, another one for my collection!

A very wide arrangement of intraments and mixed well together. Sounds like mid evil times of a circus way back when. The acoustics sounded great. Awesome piece.

I love your unique spin on the subject matter for this challenge. Superb arrangement, so much to enjoy - great blend of instruments and sounds, it conjures some very colorful visuals. Some fantastic changes, especially the way they bring a new dimension/element to the song.
Wow! That acoustic comes right out of the headphones at ya! So vibrant..reminds me of "entangled" from genesis for some reason..but its really nothing like it.. this is very original material..all you man! Love the percussion in it.. do use pro tools? pc or mac? I need to update.. cool abstract interlude before the outre solo.. I like your style..ANYTHING GOES! YEAH!!! :) :) :)
