The problem about "what to do in summer 2003" was brillantly resolved by deciding to bring almost half of my instruments to the house on the hills of a friend of mine, Emiliano Zampella and spend two weeks in completely relax, tranquillity and music.
Moving my instruments was not so easy (also because this summer was terrible hot!) but we could play a lot of wonderful stuff:
PC + Pulsar
boards (obviously!)
Yamaha DX7
KORG MS-20 (an old and powerful
analog synth, in case you don't know it)
Mute masterkeyboard and
MIDIBOX controller
KORG
03RW
SID SYNTH
Guitar
+ Line6 POD
Bass guitar + BOSS
GT6B
Sitar
Flutes
Percussions
TubePre
and condenser microphone
In two weeks we had a lot of ideas, but only four songs were so good to be published: they are collected in an EP titled (sorry for the italian title...)
4 tracks + ghost track for about 13.20 minutes of music.
Define the genre of music proposed is not simple, even if the EP consists of only 4 songs: "Mezrab" was played with Sitar and an Indian Flute, and so it has some "ethnic" and "oriental" flavour. I would say that "Midsummer Night Dream" is somewhere between electronic pop-rock, while "Insomnia" would fit in a Rave Party...
This EP can be freely downloaded and listened in mp3 format (128kbps):
01 - (ghost
track) (318Kb)
02 -
Mezrab (3.7MB)
03
- Fly me to the moon (1.1 MB) (*)
04
- Sogno di una notte di mezza estate (3.3 MB) (Midsummer Night
Dream)
05 - Insonnia
(4MB) (Insomnia)
along with the CD cover in HiRes (130Kb)
Please, write me a mail with all of your comments!
To complete this work, i decided to put online also some tracks recorded, in form of loops, in our "studios": you can download them in the Free Samples area and you can use them freely in your own production (i just like to listen to them!)
