About Me

.:EnAfter several years past playing with band of variuous genres(progressive,blues,jazz,rock,funky,folk) i would try to make my own project. I think about a very rytmhic approach on songs, and i just try to do it. Some tracks have a bass line played with keyboard (trilogy) and digital drum(DD-65 Yamaha).Some other of the Zabe projects have a bassline played from our friend and very experienced musician Matteo Luraghi. With this project (ZABE) we play live with sequenced sections and real time groove(drum & bass) & effects apport. We've played this as an experiment during the fashion show of only4love(www.only4love.it) by Stefano Stara that is also the creator of the ZABE logo.All the drums part are played and not sequenced excepts from some loops that are cubase looped. The vocals in some songs are maked by my wife that's a pro jazz singer: yes, actually she can't do better with this kind of music but we working on it!Enjoy!.:ItDopo svariati anni passati suonando vari generi(progressive,blues,jazz,rock,funky,folk) ho voluto provare a realizzare il mio progetto personale. Pensavo ad un approccio molto ritmico alle canzoni, usando quanto la tecnologia recente ci mette a disposizione e ho provato a realizzarlo. Alcune tracce hanno la linea di basso suonata tramite una tastiera e il plug-in di cubase Trilogy, la batteria è la Yamaha DD-65.Altre tracce fanno parte del progetto Zabe ed hanno il basso suonato dal nostro amico bassista Matteo Luraghi. Con questo progetto (ZABE) l'idea è di suonare dal vivo con parti a sequencer e l'apporto in tempo reale di ritmica (basso e batteria) ed effetti.Tutte le parti di batteria sono suonate, solo alcuni loops sono creati in cubase. Le parti vocali in alcune canzoni sono cantate da mia moglie che è una cantante jazz professionista: certo, con questo genere non le dò molto modo di esprimere al massimo la sua tecnica, ma ci stiamo lavorando!Spero il risultato comunque vi piaccia!Abbiamo avuto modo di sperimentare l'effetto in una prima serata/evento per la linea di abbigliamento only4love(www.only4love.it) di Stefano Stara, che è anche l'autore del logo ZABE. Other activities and experiments: footage from various locations in Como lake area and Mombello sanatorioum - Italy - with great secret chiefs 3 songs for thrilling effect! it's just an experiment...we like to make a short movie a day..any suggestion would be appreciatedSPOOKY EXPERIMENTS 2:SECRET CHIEFS 3:

TIP: NOISE-GATE

Using the cubase-sx noise gate plug-in you can create cut effects on drums to give more industrial cut grooves. You can hear an example in "just begun".
