Di
pomeriggio, forte il vento fuori città Lungo
i bastioni, artigiani prendono il tè Noi due,
su un tavolino, fermi a mangiare dei dolci “Guarda
che gente strana gira in Africa al mare in vacanza!” Fresca
e’ la notte, calmo il mare, Essaouira Il
ristorantino lungo il molo. Serenita’. Noi
due, su una panchina, fermi a guardare le stelle e
barche andare e venire nel porto, profumo
di lampade ad olio E
decidemmo di stare un giorno di piu’ E
prender 15 scatole in legno di tuja Poi
la mattina prendemmo un caffe’ e via per un’altra avventura. Ricordo
che noi due, su una panchina, fermi a guardare le stelle e
barche andare e venire nel porto, profumo
di lampade ad olio Words & Music ® F Carosone 2006 |
Candies
The song was recorded
live in 1997 by me and Timo playing together in my house, after a 2 days-full
day preparation. The TASCAM Portastudio 4-channel tape recording was brought
to Sonar 4 in October 2004, when Jean Montes joined through internet to drop
a few cello notes, here they are: You can hear
all the noise form the arc and the instrument itself! The song is
introspective and emotional. Hence it has a very variable tempo, with natural
rallentando and accelerando. Also the dynamics were expanded a bit. To go a
little further, I inserted an original gush from my voice here and there in
the silences before the beginning of the refrain. This is another trick to
give the tune more “feel”, here is the sample: I wish to thank Timo Paivansalo, he is
one of the most creative and professional guitarist I have ever met. |

Jean Montes has sampled his cello at
IOWA university along with many other orchestral instruments. Check their website,
it’s precious because it’s free and anechoic (means you can add your own
reverb): You can play the samples trough a
virtual sampler, if you don’t have it, check out the free PAAX 2: |
