Description : This is a very little and very humble homage to Jon Lord, the King of Deep Purple, the man who put a symphonic flavour inside Hard Rock.

So long, Jon, keep on rocking wherever you are now!

wow when I saw Jon Lord I had to stop, Machine Head was one of my favorite lp's back in those days. It sounds just like his set up, what are you using for this? I would think those were long gone.

Thank you, foxdfive, for listening and for your kind comment!

The Hammond sound of this track has been mainly created with a couple of plugins: Cakewalk Sound Center and Organized Trio.

I'm happy that you liked it!

Hi Stefano,
Wonderful track! Love the organ, very well played and "Lordesque" (even if the passage around 1:24 reminds me a lot of Mr. Tony Banks preparing his supper)
The double-bass drums are powerful and solid.
Decisamente niente male!
Grazie!
Domenico

PS: I have to agree with R01D, you have some clipping here and there, but the song is really enjoyable.

Ciao Domenico, mi prendo la libertà di risponderti almeno un pezzo in italiano perchè ... è molto meno faticoso...

Effettivamente, ho inserito una citazione di un passaggio da Supper's Ready, mi sembrava ci stesse bene...bravo per averlo scoperto...10 e lode!

Thank you for listening and for your kind comment!

Ahh that first note, my heart just skipped a beat. I love DP and Rainbow. I love how John Lord left his Hammond for his replacement in retirement Don Airey. RIP John, good work this song is awesome

Thank you, my friend...I'm glad you liked it!

Well, the Hammond sound is one of the most difficult instruments to render digitally because it has that ... very analogic peculiarity!

So this is only a "synthetic" view of the original monster!

Thanks again for listening and for your kind words!

I really like the arrangement and composition, but the mix needs some work. It sounds like a lot of tracks are peaking individually, try turning all of them down and it will add a lot of dynamic range to your track.
Don't be afraid to make a quiet track, its a lot easier for me to turn up my speakers than it is for you to spend time making the song as loud as possible and still sound great ;)

Nice song!

I`ve loved that B3 sound since I first heard Booker T...Wish NI still made their B4 vsti (I have an old version that runs (partially) on my 64 bit system)...Great playing Stefano and you really nailed the vibe....much enjoyed....Ed

Thanks Ed!

I appreciate your listening and your kind words!

Well, I haven't found yet a completely acceptable Hammond emulation, particularly for Leslie.

For the organ sound in this track I used both Cakewalk Sound Center and a free vst plugin called Organized Trio, which is not bad especially for that 'deep rock' preset (there is also another nice preset which emulates ELP's Pictures at an exhibition).

Thanx again!

Wow Stefano, this an awesome piece of work. You have recreated that wonderful fusion of baroque rock which was a sound unique to Purple. The keyboards here would have Jon standing in his grave and applauding. This is a wonderful tribute to one of my favorite bands, 'Child in Time' is my number two fav track of all time.

Just awesome bro!!

Hi Kenny, thank you so much!

I was uncertain whether to upload this track, because I was not sure that it could express in an effective way my idea.

So I'm happy that you appreciated a little tribute from a fan to one of the biggest rock organists.

And yes!, 'Child in time' is a timeless masterpiece (I'm listening to it while writing these words and I can't stop shivering!).

Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words!

Description : This is a complete redo of a Jazz track I wrote a while ago and uploaded earlier this year. I attempted to remaster the original, and it bit me. So I bit back and here's the result. Jazz with a Latin flair. For those interested, I mastered this using the HUM JAAL mastering limiter. I'm loving that BEAST! Take a listen and share your thoughts Enjoy!

Description : What up LM family, next up is a track we put together last week, and one of my current favs. I got the stems from Nea Mera's remix of 'Make Em Feel This' and made some dope samples that really accent this track. He said it's hard for him to hear everything that I did with his stems, but I also know that LM is full of audiophiles who will pick out everything in a heartbeat. So Remember, this was your suggestion, Nea Mera LOL. I remembered to list the personel this

Description : Shorten My Days is a deeply personal prayer about examining the true intentions behind our relationship with God. It wrestles with the uncomfortable question of whether we seek Him because we genuinely love Him, or because of what we want from Him and the world around us. It is a plea for God to strip away selfish motives, sustain us through life's battles, and teach us to live in a way that brings glory to His name.
