Description : This one's a real international project featuring the exceptional talent from Janis71 (France) - vocals, Mr.Funktastic (U.S) - brass, Neddings (Netherlands) - piano, and of course us, Franco (Italy) - guitar, bass, midi strings, & midi flute (midi's played with guitar using Sonuus G2m), and Scott (U.S) - drums, percussion. If I had to describe a style, this would be a Latin/jazz/folk tune. Many hours were involved in this track, so hope you enjoy. We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Wow...Thank YOU, Danke, for a very humbling comment. I'm blushing! Agree, Janis' (Carole's) voice is most excellent. I think she is one of the top three singers on this community. She mentioned maybe redoing this track with live vocals instead of the pellas we used. Hope it materializes

Off to check out Dan's new song.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks allot, Ed. Your high praise is encouragement, indeed! I agree with you concerning Carole. I'm hoping we will have a new version of this track and possibly others with her.

Hello there Scott! First let me shout out to Janis and say I love the tone of your voice...kinda reminds me of Basia. I love the instrumentation as well...Janis'vocals seem to be in the rhythm pocket for the most part, and that's pretty cool that you were able to do that. However, I do also hear some clashing going on which sometimes makes her vocal seem out of tune...for instance around 1:17 where she sings the word "dry" there seems to be a disconnect for a second..then it's right back in the pocket until the disconnect happens again. Perhaps if you take Janis up on her offer to lay a fresh vocal over your wonderful instrumental that would solve the problem. Other than that, I have to say Well Done!

Love & Light,

Mykael

Hi Mykael,

Thanks for your comments. I have contacted Carole and am taking her up on the offer to lay fresh vocals. I have always loved her vocals, and you're right, she does sound like Basia since you mentioned it. Hopefully, you will hear a new version.

Ciao,
Scott

Oops, I forgot about what you asked . I say " my soul in chloroform" :)
ScottFranco
ScottFranco replied 6th Sep 2013 - 13 years ago
Thanks again, Carole. I thought that's what you were singing, but wasn't sure. Not sure what it means, but you are the poet. Chloroform puts you to sleep, so guess it means your soul is sleeping?

Let's make more music!

Hi Scott and Franco :)
I do like the instrumental, sounds awesome ! I know how tough it is to adapt "out of the blue" pellas to a music piece and you managed quite right but I think this track deserves real singing . Next time, I'll be glad to sing for you if you wish me to :)
Thanks a lot for the wink,
Greetz

Hi Carole,

I'm delighted that you approve of OUR track. Yes, it is tough to work with pellas, but Franco does a great job with this task. I think it would be amazing for you to put new vocals to the track if you are interested in taking it on. I can send you the track minus the vocals and you can do your thing. I will contact you with my email.

Ciao,
Scott

When you grow up, you will find that by putting someone or something down in order to make yourself feel better is a sign of low intelligence.

I implore anyone who reads this youngster's comments to go to his page and listen to his stuff. It will become clear why he does this!

My friend, this is clearly NOT constructive criticism! It's criticism to make you feel better about yourself. You will find it more beneficial to learn from this community. We are all willing to help if you need it, and clearly...Nuff said!

Cheers,

sounds out of sync

Re: "sounds out of sync"

I was a bit perplexed by your comment! I have certainly NEVER commented negatively about another member's track, and I will not start now, but I did give a listen to all of the tracks you have uploaded on your page and I can understand why you find our track "out of sync!" After listening to your work, I am no longer perplexed by your comment, but we thank you very much for your left handed words.

Cheers,
Scott

Wonderful Song. I have to repeat myself: the vocals from Carole are simply wonderful and you have used them in a beautiful way. Maybe it could have been interesting to hear a more "complex" text but repeating the bits you have worked pretty well.
The drums are perfect: love the fill at 2:05
The overall drum sound is incredibly tight and "professional".
Kudos to Franco as well: his guitar work is very balanced and subtle. Exactly what the song needed.
The arrangement deserves some good notes as well. Maybe some more variations on the keyboard pattern could help, but it's a minor thing.
In one word: superb!
Ciao, Domenico

ScottFranco replied 5th Sep 2013 - 13 years ago
Thanks allot, Domenico. If not mistaken, the pellas were a combination of three, so Franco pieced them together. Wish we'd have had more. Thanks for the kind words on the drums.

Ciao,
Scott

Description : Miguel from Bolivia got in touch wanting to sing on my Dirge in Em track. You never know what to expect but in this case he delivered with this emotional and wonderful vocal performance. Thanks and much respect to him. LM wouldn't let me insert his U-Tube or Spotify links but I'm sure if you seek you will find.
