giochi con l’acqua, giochi con l’aria, bianca come spuma tu sei Sei cresta
dell’onda, odore di iodio, salto di delfino in scìa Sei
cresta dell’onda. Il
cielo ha l’altezza, il mare profondità: vivi allegramente a metà e giochi con l’acqua, giochi con l’aria, bianca come spuma tu sei esplodi
sullo scoglio, sei spruzzo sul mio viso esplodi
sullo scoglio e ti dividi, anche adesso, anche qui. Sei
cricca nel ghiaccio, fiocco di nuvola, bisbiglio che preannuncia tempesta Scintilla
nel cielo, bagliore di fulmine, fresco temporale estivo Che
scroscia sulle foglie, rinfresca la mia pelle Che
scroscia sulle foglie e sugli ombrelli, anche adesso, anche qui. Words & Music ® F Carosone 2006 |
Candies
The song,
composed in 1995, is the oldest in the album. It was built in Windows 3.1 using
a MIDI sequencer called “Musicator” and recorded on the TASCAM Portastudio
4-channel tape recorder. Later, in 2003, it was brought to Sonar 1 and I
added some newer virtual drums. So, don’t’ complain if I have few candies
here! At that time I had little space to fit all on a 4-ch mix.. The song has a
very oriental concept, expressed also in the instruments. See for example the
China-like part for the EMU Proteus keyboard: The original drum was a very flat electronic drum, I completely
reworked on that in 2003. Here is the hihat-ride-crash part in the second
verse, put in the front for you: |
List of instruments
Voice and background voices; Piano:
Yamaha Clavinova; MIDI programming to EMU Proteus for bass,
percussion, oriental sounds; MIDI programming to MAZ Vsampler for drums
(CM sounds); Mastered with Waves plug-ins in Sonar 1. |
Download Software to replicate the candies
The midi drum programming controls a
virtual sampler: a free new 2006 sampler
is the Mexican PAAX 2: I grabbed the cymbal sounds from a
special issue of Computer Music back in 2003, but there’s many on the web. |
