Hi! I'm a keyboard-player/backing-vocalist from Italy. I'm using this space to get in touch with other musicians around the world and to promote my personal projects... ah, ok, you can also listen to some songs i recorded in my small home studio: of course, any comments will be highly appreciated, especially negative ones as long as you tell me why :)
Vaghe Stelle Dell'Orsa: this one is a semi-unknown song from a wonderful italian group called Matia Bazar. I propose my own version which is (as you would expect) keyboard-centric ;) and of course instrumental. It starts gently, with electric and acoustic pianos, changes to a dark/electro mood in the central section and softly reaches the end. This cover is totally unauthorized but, as i'm not using it in any commercial project(s), i believe authors won't mind... of course, in case they listen to it and tell me it sucks, i will instantly remove it from the space ;)
Constream: well, a musician is a lucky guy for lots of reasons. Many of you automatically will think of money, fame, fortune, women, fun and so on (ahem... where can i find them? :)) but there are other facets that may be unknown. For instance, i'm able to relax and let my spirit free by simply sitting at my piano keyboard and letting my hands flow, as if they were guided by a sort of higher kind of life. I really like to feel surrounded by this vortex of harmonies that come out from a mysterious source, like a sort of musical stream of consciousness. One night i pressed the REC button before falling into one of these mystic-music-relax state of mind i was talking about, and here is the 'output' in all its rawness, without edits, cleanings or overdubs. Keep in mind that we can barely define it a 'song': it's simply a far from perfect sequence of notes played instinctively (but, for listeners' sake, there is always a melodic base in all the about ten minutes of stream) without a particular goal. Hope you like it, maybe it could be a nice background music for your moments of relax...
P.s. : if you use something from this messy bunch of melodies / chord sequences / arpeggios / etc. etc. in your multi-platinum selling cd, or if you manage to reach nirvana through my music and subsequently write a best-seller about this mystical experience, don't forget to put my name in your credits section ;)
P.p.s. : poor sound quality, isn't it? I agree, but the "6mb per song" limit is a tough enemy... god bless VBR mp3's :)
Popcorn Divertissement: this is simply the result of some hours of "fooling-around" (sorry, but I can't translate the meaningful italian word 'cazzeggio' better than this ;)) on my keyboards on a sad and insomniac saturday night. It's just a collage of some reworkings of a well-known theme in several music styles... in the second part of the recording process I got really wild and recorded lots of self-indulgent solos: you've been warned :)
