Mare Nostrum - Mrwolf14

Description : Something that I usually don't do: I put together a song in less than 1h. It's very simple and very short, not much "polishing" or fine tuning. Still, I am not used to this way of working.
Keyboard, Bass & Guitar played by your humble MrWolf. Drums courtesy of Toontrack.

Hey Domenico!
I like this. Is that a Fretless you are using? I love Fretless bass. So prevelant in the mid eighties. Cool tune.
Good to hear from you again ehh?

Nice kind of soft rock melody going on here. Sounds like a good candidate for a female vocal track. Great work.

Some things don't take more than an hour when you have the right Universal flow. Really digging it. Kind of borders on some jazz.

Thanks for the kind words.
Hearing it again... not too satisfied with the result.
I won't do again anything so "in a rush" probably.
Ciao, Domenico

Prima di rendermi conto che la traccia era del signor Domenico Wolf, avevo già pensato che era "molto italiana" come costruzione e che ci avrei messo sopra un bel cantato nella nostra bella lingua, fottesega se qua non la capiscono (c'è l'hip hop in russo, perciò...)

Per essere il lavoro fatto in appena un ora è eccellente, a prescindere dai consigli che ti ha dato Wayne. Probabilmente tornerai a lavorarci su, per variare qualcosa: se così sarà, aggiungi qualche variazione nella musica, uno special ad esempio. Al tuo posto, avrei aggiunto una sezione in cui avrei sostituito lo snare con un bel sidestick (come quello brillantissimo che puoi ascoltare nel brano "Consequence" dei The Notwist).

Per qualche strana ragione, ci vedrei sopra una improvvisazione di synth piano, precisamente l'E.Piano (FM synth della Yamaha Dx7), con un campo stereo ampio, in modo tale che non vada ad addensarsi al centro dove comandano le chitarre e le batterie...

Non rimproverarmi se scrivo in italiano, per far contenti gli altri ho scritto in inglese e francese, cavolo con un italiano vorrei poter usare la nostra lingua!

Hi Mr Henry Pascal!
Credo sia la prima volta che scrivo in italiano su questo sito... ma non credo sia un problema ;-)

Grazie del commento. Non so se rimettero' mano a questa canzone, ma se lo dovessi fare sicuramente terro' conto dei tui suggerimenti: stide stick (non ho idea di chi siano i Notwist, devo andare a controllare) ... sull'improvvisazione di Epiano non ho idee. Magari hai un'idea tu e possiamo far partire una collaborazione.

E ovviamente, dovessi aver bisogno di una parte di basso, basta che mi mandi un messagio privato!
Ciao, Domenico

You did a good job with making the mix sound clear. It's very loud, but clear. You had fun with jamming to the track. The drum sound is great, it made me look up toontrack to see what it was. I need to get that. Nice jam!

Thanks. Drums from Toontrack are very good.
I invested some money in EZDrum and some drum-packs few years back and I really like it.
Ciao, Domenico

Hey Domenico! For a rough idea i think it's a decent idea. Obviously not the best mix for only an hour but the musical idea is there and all the elements other than a vocal track or featured/lead instrument are present. I hope that you spend a minute or two more to add a lead guitar or vocal track(a featured instrument) because the laid back groove is cool.

I've been trying to think of what this reminds me of and strangely, i think of the Clash/Sandinista album and all the oddball music they put on there. It wasn't a fluid album but a diverse collection of styles of music. This one would fit on that album. I know that is weird but it is a compliment, ha!

Thanks for the comment Wayne.
I am not sure whether I will rework this or not: was a nice experiment for me... but I don't think I will repeat it.

Regarding the comparison with Sandinista: CLASH is one of the bands I love more! Your avatar is what I have used a lot of times on other web-sites ... without "the humps" of course :-P
London Calling is one of my 5 "desert islands" records.
Still I loved Sandinista as well. Now I need a joe-strummer-like singer to put some words on this song.
Ciao, Domenico
