Composed by Lou Di Falco. Catch It While You Can is a funky little track originally recorded on my iPad then eventually fleshed out with Logic Pro, a host of hardware synths, plug-ins, and of course my Yamaha grand.

Catch It While You Can

Composed by Lou Di Falco. Written in 1979 while attending Berklee College of Music, Merry-Go-Round was first performed at a concert of original student music at the college's recital hall at 1140 Boylston Street, Boston. Since then the tune was performed in many different bands over the years as well as being recorded several times. This latest recording features myself on acoustic piano and Rhodes as well as the keyboard bass track. Also performing are Jim Stagnitto from New Hope, Pennsylvania on trumpet, Vince Rimbach from Toronto on Tenor Sax, Russ Trevena on Guitar from Atlanta, Georgia and Tom Mitchell on drums from New Jersey.

Merry-Go-Round

Composed by Lou Di Falco. Brazilian Twilight is a latin tune featuring Vince Rimbach from Toronto on Tenor Sax and myself on keys, bass and drums programming.  Russ Trevena from Atlanta is on guitar.

Brazilian Twilight

Composed by Lou Di Falco. Better Late Than Never was the title track of an album I released in the early 1990s. This is basically the same arrangement but with some tweaks. Additional synths have been added. Also the piano solo is brand new and recorded on my Yamaha grand using two Roswell K47 mics. I discovered that the original synth solo was stored as a MIDI file so it's the exact same solo performed on a different synth.

"Summer's End" Written and Produced by Lou Di Falco

Summer's End

I wanted to try out some of the new features of Logic Pro X Version 10.8. I used the new Beat Breaker plugin on the bass guitar plus the new mastering tool. I'm pleased with the results except Apple held back some features of the mastering plugin if you are running an Intel Mac which sucks. Not sure if this was a technical issue or marketing ploy. The Rhodes is real, no sample here. It's a 1980 Mark II that I have restored with parts from Vintage Vibe and refitted with a Retro Flyer preamp from Avion Studios. The arpeggiated synth is Logic's Alchemy plugin, plus a Nord B3 sample and a host of other synths and plugins. I'm using the Soundtoys SuperPlate verb more and more as well. Enjoy!

Spiral (TV Cue)

I recently saw Tower of Power with their amazing section of five horns. Also at that time I was listening to some of Herbie Hancock's Headhunters stuff from the 70s. The result of that listening amalgamation came this tune. 

Piano solo is on a Rhodes Mark II that I restored. That's Mike Carlone helping me out on guitar.

Out Of Her League

Composed by Lou Di Falco. This is a tune that pays homage to the many horn bands of the 70s plus a modern flavor. Long time friend and great player Dr. Russ Trevena from Atlanta, GA on Guitar.

Updated in June 2023 - A slightly different arrangement, remix and new electric piano solo.

Funkyville (Remix)

Composed by Lou Di Falco. This is a tribute to a great fusion guitarist by the name of John Macey. Macey lived most of his life in New Jersey playing and teaching guitar. He was a brilliant player and a great friend who died way before his time in obscurity except for the many students and loyal followers he had. I wrote and recorded this tune in honor of him. I was fortunate that I got to record on his last album 20 years ago titled "Metal Bop Blues from Mars". I attempted to capture some of the energy that went into that CD. My sampled guitar solo was an attempt to recreate John's playing and admittedly it does not come close. I would like to thank Ed Dzubak (check out his great stuff on SoundCloud) who laid down a swinging drum track while hanging at my house one spring afternoon. Enjoy!

Remembering John Macey (Remix)

Lou is a pianist/composer living in northern New Jersey. Lou has composed music for many television programs and is an active pianist who plays with jazz and rock ensembles.
