Missing

Remix by The Echelon Effect.

The single WAVES was performed and mixed by Francesco Berta in London, the vocal layers were written and recorded by singer Anne Van Den Hoogen in Amsterdam and the EP was mastered by John Webber at the legendary Air Studios in London.

“When I made some people listen to a preview of the track they were surprised, they told me it was beautiful yet different from everything I did before. But on one level, I must never lose touch with my audience. But I must, at some point, stop trying to get everybody to like me, and be true to my musical soul, to what I feel and I have to say. It’s a challenging moment to live as an artist and composer because these days everyone is writing music on his laptop. Music making has become accessible to almost everyone, that’s why it’s important to find what defines you, and chase it”.

The official video is directed by Isaac Madge, a writer, director & filmmaker based in West Sussex & London, passionate about low budget filmmaking and telling stories that really make an impact.

The video is starring Lucy Elizabeth Anderson and Joe James.

“The video is inspired by the true story of a friend of mine” says Francesco “she’s suffering a form of dissociative disorder. When I told Isaac this story he jumped on board straight on, and he did an amazing job portraying that reality. Also the actors are young but terrific and spontaneous, I’m really satisfied by the overall work”.

Waves feat. Anne Van Den Hoogen (The Echelon Effect Remix)

The 20th of October 2012 I wrote this track, and the following week released my first studio album, "Modern Dinosaurs" 
To celebrate this event I want to share this performance from this February's concert in Paris. 
This track is distinctly special to me so I polished the recording, mixed the few mics we had around the place and mastered the track.
