Germi
nell’erba del giardino Sostiene
la vicina - sta’ attento alla bambina ma
io credo io dico di no,
e forse sbagliero’, ma
la lascio pascolare sull’erbetta nucleare fra
zanzare e ogm. Ma
io sono un babbo, non sono un papa’ sì
io sono un babbo, non sono un papa’ Salti
sul materasso a molle, battaglie
a cuscinate, partite un po’ truccate Per
vincere un po’ e un po’ io
sono un babbo, non sono un papa’ sì
io sono un babbo, non sono un papa’ Ora
e’ l’ora della nanna: steso
sul tappeto, rivelo il mio segreto: sono
stato un bambino anch’io ma
ora sono un babbo e non sono un papa’ Words & Music ® F Carosone 2006 |
Candies
In the third
verse (“l’ora della nanna”) the rhythm is stopped for a while, and some
instruments don’t play. I enjoyed playing some windchimes and a metal box to
fill the space and differentiate. Here I put them in the front for you: A seagull cry
is stolen from a Beatles song, heavy filtered to isolate it from the rest. Listen
to how it sounds when put in the new context (amplified and put in the front for
you): while soloed
it reveals the link to the original song, with a sitar behind it: A sign of
modern production is shown in the end, where a distorted robotic 2nd
voice comes out, left panned. Here it is, isolated for you: The song, composed in 2000, was the first
in a new era of production, for me. Lots of candies! |

Download Software to replicate the candies
Although largely built on the old MIDI
cables to an external expander, I used a virtual sampler for the first time,
and loaded with samples from the CM magazine. If you don’t have any, grab the
free PAAX 2: For the robotic voice I used a comb
filter plug-in, namely OhMyGod, one of those plug-ins to mess things up a
little. |
