This one is a tribute to the great fusion group Tribal Tech, especially to  guitarist Scott Henderson and bassist Gary Willis. The great bassist aka Stringburner here on Soundcould asked me to collaborate on this lighting, or better rocket launching, fast fusion track which refers to Saturn 5, off the the tenth album called Rocket Science by the jazz fusion band Tribal Tech released in 2000. A mind boggling original that we could only humbly pay respect to. It uses a faster pace and condenses the themes, then aims in different directions with it, going from a free fusion style into rock and some Indian and Oriental modes.
We greatly enjoyed our little collaboration on this and hope you do too!

Tribute to Tribal Tech - feat. Stringburner & DanArchX

Endless Longing is a fragile blend of felt piano and ethereal vocals, composed by Francesco Adornetto and featuring the haunting voice of Blackbird. This ambient piece unfolds like a quiet sigh — a meditation on absence, memory, and the ache of something just out of reach. Minimal yet emotionally rich, it invites the listener into a space of stillness and introspection.

Endless Longing

Quietude

I had a bad week and this song is my therapy, my emotions pouring out like water and also my small piece of hope to keep pushing forward.

I hope you enjoy it. Any feedback and comments are always appreciated.

This piece is about how life is like the ocean...Sometimes it’s calm and clear… other times, wild and unpredictable. You can’t fight the waves, but you can learn to ride them. Thanks for listening and sharing 🙏

Thank you Aleck for introducing me to Estate. Such a joy to sing this so special and tender song.
A everlasting beautiful Jazz-standard.
Thank you to Aleck, Axel, Franco for beautiful music!

Aleck Rand writes about this song:
Estate (1960, Bruno Martino, music; Bruno Brighetti, lyrics) began modestly enough as an Italian pop song. At the time, few noticed that it was far from ordinary. However, its sophisticated harmonics and irresistible melody didn’t escape the attention of jazz musicians. Now it is a world standard with performances all over YouTube. Still, there is no definitive version that draws out every bit of its potential. Except for possibly now. Listen.

Estate
You bath me in the glow of your caresses
You've turned my eager no to tender yeses
You sweep away my sorrow with your sigh

Estate
Oh how the golden sunlight bends the willow
Your blossoms send the perfume to my pillow
Oh who could know you half as well as I

I always feel you near me
In every song the morning breeze composes
All the tender wonder of the roses
Each time the setting sun shines on the sea

And when you sleep beneath a snowy cover
I'll keep you in my heart just like a lover
And wait until you come again to me - estate

Estate (Summer). Aleck Rand. Axel Weiss. Franco Quadroni. Oddrun Eikli.

This site is for my musical avatar or alter ego. Architect/partner/company owner by day, I find myself playing guitar and writing these tracks in afterhours, at nights, evenings, when in need of a dose of guitar sounds. You will find a wide range of guitar oriented music, ranging from Jazz to Blues, Flamenco to Classical, Rock to Fusion. And many collaborations with some great musicians.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old, largely self-taught and have tried different styles and instruments: Renaissance lute, flamenco guitar, classical guitar, steel string guitar and electric guitar with which I have been playing in styles ranging from rock and metal in my early years to classical music, some American Folk music, jazz rock, prog rock, flamenco nuevo and fusion.

It’s been a splendid time here so far, in collaborating with a lot of brilliant musicians on SoundCloud and sharing ideas and the passion for music. 
My collaborations are with musicians that I have a deep respect for and have a mutual appreciation for real instruments, and musical styles that focus on letting the instruments “shine”. 

Here is some technical data:
Currently I am using Amplitube and Auria on an iPad as DAW with Final Touch for mastering. For acoustic recording I use an Apogee microphone.

Guitars are:
Fender AMERICAN ELITE STRATOCASTER® HSS SHAWBUCKER, 2016
Fender Stratocaster Squire (first edition: JV-series)
Ibanez JS100, Joe Satriani model
Evh Frankie Striped MN Relic R/W/B

EVH 5150 Series Standard Stealth Black EB guitar
Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS Olympic White RW
Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HSH 2PT CM Mahogany Natural
Paulino Bernabe, Taller de Guitarras, Model-50, 2001, classical concert guitar
Marín, Modelo Estudio /9 Calidad, 1997, Malaga, Spain, flamenco guitar

I hope you will enjoy my music.
