Female vocals by Tessa. Written by Miki Chieregato, Roberto Turatti and HT Beecher (Tom Hooker). Originally performed by Den Harrow (Stefano Zandri - image / Tom Hooker - lead vocals) on their 1985 album 'Overpower' (Baby Records, Milan, 1985). My version was performed on a Roland Jupiter-X synthesizer and a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar. It was sequenced and mixed in Presonus' Studio One DAW through a StudioLive 24.4.2 Classic console.

This is my instrumental cover of Gérard Blanc's 1988 hit single 'Du Soleil Dans La Nuit', from his album 'Ailleurs Pour Un Ailleurs' (EMI France). It was composed by Gérard Blanc with lyrics by Marc Strawzynski and the original arrangements were by Thierry Durbet and Gérard Blanc. My version was performed on a Korg Kronos (CP70 and DX7 pianos, all organs), a Roland Jupiter-X synthesizer (all synths) and a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar. The drums are mostly Roland R8 samples programmed in Impact and the vocals were recorded through an AKG P120 condenser microphone. The song was sequenced and recorded in Presonus' Studio One 5.3 Artist DAW. Mastered by Soundcloud.

This is the third mix of my cover version of the late France Gall's 1987 hit single 'Ella, Elle L'a', which was written by (her equally late husband) Michel Berger and appears on France's album 'Babacar'. I still need to re-record some of the backing vocals due to unwanted saturation caused by a recurring malfunction with either my Mac or my mixing console. My version was performed on a Korg Kronos workstation, a Roland Jupiter-X synthesizer, an Arturia Prophet-VS synth, a few additional drum samples here and there, a gear4music bass guitar and a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar. As usual, it was sequenced, recorded and mixed in Presonus Studio One through a StudioLive 24.4.2 console.
