Fleur de Lisa

Recently I mentioned that I had a cassette tape from over 40 years ago when The Takahashi Band of 82 made a demo track for a potential TV commercial. The track was only worked on for a day or two and then abandoned. I think we all had a busy year and for whatever reason this recording was discarded.

I also talked about sharing the recording one day just for nostalgic reasons, however the mix was a very basic end-of-day progress mix and no vocal part was conceived. Sharing it in this form would not do the potential of the work any justice.

The track began with chords and synths that Yukihiro Takahashi recorded, the basic building blocks of his composition. I added the drum part. Having been intensively rehearsing and performing Takahashi material this triggered a distinct blend of my own style as might appear on tracks such as 'The Art of Parties' and Yukihiro's style on tracks such as 'Glass'. Haruomi Hosono added his brilliance on bass, as well as Masami Tsuchiya overlaying guitar parts and Hajime Tachibana adding a saxophone solo.

Fast forward over 40 years....
 
At the end of 2023 I sent the demo to singer/songwriter Marco Machera, someone I’ve collaborated with a few times in the past and whose vocal style I felt would compliment the music. Yukihiro also enjoyed Marco's music, including it on his own radio show. I asked Marco to consider adding a vocal which he was happy to do, also composing lyrics too.

I used an AI program to break down the stereo mix of the original cassette recording into individual tracks (this is a relatively new technology and although the quality struggled it allowed for a little bit more flexibility with the mixing and blending of new overdubs). The performed parts were retained, and to which I recorded some additional instrumentation as well as joining Marco on the chorus vocals. I made a new mix of the track. So what we have here is the finished piece: “Impossible Until It Happens”. 

Marco and I share this as an homage to Yukihiro who passed away this time last year and is greatly missed. We can feel the essence of Yukihiro's writing style in this track and we hope that you enjoy it.

Be Little - Bella Ciao

A solo track dedicated to a special person.
On July the 6th of 2024 Luigi Sechi - my old trumpet teacher at the Conservatory of Music, passed away at the age of 95.
I was recording some trumpet tracks for someone when I got the sad news. I stoped my work and it was so natural blowing in my pocket trumpet some music completely dedicated to the Maestro.
There are just trumpets. No keyboards or pads. Just a very long Vst Reverb for a unique take.
I hope you like it.
With Lot of Love

Il Maestro

When I was a nine or ten-year-old child, my father began his journey into the world of amateur radio. I used to go to sleep in my room which was next to his, separated only by a door that was always closed. My father was particularly active in CW transmissions, the ones that use Morse code, and I would let myself be lulled by those sounds, those lines and dots that often overlapped with each other. The result was a mix of signals at different pitches that often increased or decreased in intensity following a perfect sine wave, and all of this sounded like music in my head. This piece is dedicated to I1UST, my father, and to all the old operators who, amateur or professional, have crossed the airwaves with their continuous wave signals.

Quando ero un bambino di nove o dieci anni, mio padre ha cominciato il suo percorso nel mondo dei radioamatori. Andavo a dormire nella mia stanza che era confinante con la sua, separata solo da una porta  sempre chiusa. Mio padre era particolarmente attivo nelle trasmissioni in CW, quelle che utilizzano il codice morse e io mi lasciavo cullare da quei suoni, quelle linee e quei punti che spesso si sovrapponevano gli uni agli altri. Il risultato era un mix di segnali ad altezze diverse che spesso aumentavano o diminuivano di intensità seguendo una perfetta sinosuide e tutto questo nella mia testa suonava come una musica. 
Questo brano è dedicato a I1UST, mio padre, e a tutti i vecchi operatori che, amatoriali o professionisti, hanno solcato l'etere coi loro segnali in onda continua.
