Io non ci tenevo affatto, percio’ lei ci teneva cosi’ tanto Lei ci pensava cosi’ poco, percio’ io ci pensavo cosi’ a lungo. Sarebbe stato bello! Amore e guerra… E non e’ colpa nostra se Se non ci siamo mai neppure visti A manifestare insieme Contro il Vietnam, sull’isola di Wight. In effetti mi chiedevo se non si fosse stabilita tra noi, una nuova gerarchia, da sempre sottilmente ricercata Sarebbe stato bello! Amore e guerra… E invece sono qui pacifico a conversare col cespuglio E non discuto di politica, e non parlo di conquista Ed ascolto il suo silenzio, il vento che mi rende
vivo L’acqua che scorre sulla fronte, il fondamento dell’unione. Words & Music ® F Carosone 2006 |
Candies
I used some
fxs on the voice in this recording, always mixed very subtle and panned extreme.
A vocoder was used on “pacifico” and then on “politica”, you can hear pre and
post-treatment here. A full organ+string sound was used as the carrier to
give the herbal voice. I also cut the “e” from “ed ascolto il suo silenzio”, applied a
long reverb tail on it in my audio editor, reversed it and finally put it
before. This is a trick to prepare tension towards the incoming line. Listen
to the “e” before and after. Finally I granulated the “amore e Guerra” final sentence and
again mixed it smooth and panned full left. You can hear the sound better
here. |

Download Software to replicate the candies
This is the vocoder I used, grabbed from
the UK Computer Music Magazine for free. It comes as a VST plug-in, so you
should have or grab a VST host to play it. This was the granulator software used in
the song. I grabbed it for free on internet, it comes as a standalone
application but it saves wavs. Better than nothing… |
