a very nice collaboration mates. wonderful lead vocals too

Great update and collaboration of a really good song.

Thanks for all the positive feedback. I contacted John at the beginning of the year and asked if he would allow me to make an attempt at producing/arranging his song. John happily obliged and I have been working and learning on and off throughout the year. A couple of months back I thought I had finally started to understand a thing or two about music production. Serial compression, sidechaining of reverb. I still think the final replication sounds a bit to bright, distorting the natural sound of the acoustic guitars and the hi hat. It seems like every mixdown, every upload causes the sound to become brighter. There are on the other hand a lot of positive things to be said about the final result. I think the vocals and the vocal performances are just first class and were a real pleasure with which to work.

Great straight up rock n' roll, Excellent production!

Great song - Excellent instrumentation/vocals and production.

Recorded some of this with one of my grandfathers SEARS microphone that I inherited 25 years ago along with a lot of Stan Getz and Benny Goodman/Buddy Rich records.  R.I.P. gramps and coincidentally that SEARS burned down long after he retired, and I had nothing to do with it! Well o.k. even though I was arrested for shop lifting a Loudness cassette(asian METAL) at 13 by two CIA level security guards posing to be a couple pushing a stroller, i swear i harbor no bitterness!. I remember being handcuffed and led out of the mall screaming I was innocent and didn't even like loudness!, Must of seemed funny to them as i was rocking a Loudness shirt...Sorry Gramps and all you 10 people that hear this can blame SEARS if the drums sound like shit on this one.

Fly Me To The Moon (Bart Howard cover)

In this song I enclose everything I think about my work as an artist. Proceeding along risky paths, responding to violence with even more sensitivity, because sensitivity can truly move the world. Embrace your sensitivity and that of others, choose who you want to be and follow your nature, whatever the cost. 

Written and Performed by Stefano Manotti

Arrangement and mixing: Giulio Carmassi (ex-Pat Metheny group)

Executive production and mastering: Paolo Schianchi and OmniaMusica Recording Studio


TESTO

Comincia da qui questo viaggio nascosto
Con le altre paure del giorno
Che ho lasciato al loro posto
Una notte qui
Vale più di un silenzio
Per sentir la chitarra suonare
Come in braccio a cento persone
Libero così dalle mie leggi
E dalla mente che dalla sua amplifica i rimpianti
Libero così dalle tue leggi
Ho passato troppo tempo per parlarti

Lo so
Quella è la via
Io sto di fianco
Con la mia fantasia
E quel che sarà
Non è roba mia
Non è roba mia

Finisce da qui
Un bel viaggio scomposto
Non si posson tirare le somme
Non si può vedere a che costo

Solo questo ti dico
Se sei nato per qualcosa
Tornerai ogni volta
Sulla strada più rischiosa

Libero così dai compromessi
Dalle parole messe lì per non esporsi
Libero così dai giochi fatti
Per sorprendermi ancora a cantare la vita

Lo so
Quella è la via
Io sto di fianco
Con la mia fantasia
E quel che sarà
Non è roba mia
Non è roba mia

Lo so
Quella è la via
Io sto di fianco
Con la mia fantasia
E quel che sarà
Non è roba mia
Non è roba mia



LYRICS

Begin from here, this hidden journey
With the other fears of the day
That I left in their place
One night from here
Is it worth more than silence
To hear the guitar play
As if embraced by a hundred people

Free like this from my laws
And from the mind that amplifies regrets
Free like this from your laws
I've spent too much time talking to you

I know it
That's the way
I stand by my fantasy
And what will be
It is not my concern
It's not my concern

It ends here
A disjointed journey
You can't add it all up
You can't see at what cost
Only this I tell you
If you were born for something
You'll return every time
To the riskiest road

Free like this from compromises
From words placed there to avoid exposure
Free like this from done deals
To surprise you again and sing life

Fantasia

While I waited 2 months without internet for my line to be repaired, I started building a live music repertoire with 2 other musicians. Also, although I appreciate the Soundcloud community which has motivated me to stay creative for the last 2 years, over the next few months I will be extending my "media break" to continue progressing. Here is an example of the repertoire currently being created...

Green Rondo À La Funk

Words and Music: John Stone

Waking up in a pick up truck, the sound of morning rain
Running down the parking lot and cross the window pane
Your feeling low, can’t feel your head,
Waking the band is like waking the dead
But you’re the rock and roll boys
And you’re in rock and roll.

Don’t you know your gonna drive a hundred miles today
Remember when your daddy said there ain’t no easy way
Feeling sick, your feeling tired
You’re feeling low but you still feel inspired
for you’re the rock and roll boys
And you’re in rock and roll

You’re coming into town
Coming here to play
Coming here to laugh
Coming here to pray
Coming here to lie
Coming here to cry
Coming here to steal their heart and say goodbye
For you’re the rock and roll boys
And you’re in rock roll

Waking up …

We’re coming into town..

'The Crystalline'. You're welcome to listen if you like, if you can.

Future III: The Crystalline

It’s raining , oh it's raining
It's pouring down
All over me
I'm floating , just floating
All adrift
All at sea

Well I'm drowning in my floods of tears
I'm drowning in my doubts and fears

Drifting. well I'm just drifting
Beneath the leaden sky
That covers me
Praying, I'm just praying
Let these tears end soon
and set me free.

It's Raining

„Die Tasten die ich liebe” Teil VI. (31.01.2024 )

Die Kraft der Musik.
Ich habe es bewusst Pianomeditationen genannt. Zart und mitfühlend.
Wenn auch andere Instrumente zart, minimalistisch – wie bei dieser Aufnahme - begleitend mitwirken.
Ein Hauch von fließenden und wellenförmigen Klangharmonien.
Hier also die Fortsetzung meiner Klangresonanzreise mit diesem sechsten Teil der Pianomeditationen.

„Die Tasten die ich liebe“ Teil V. könnt Ihr unter diesem Link anhören:
https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-v

Klaviermusik einmal anders arrangiert mit zarten umwobenen Klangformen. 
Das Klavier bleibt immer noch im Vordergrund der Komposition.
Jedes Klavier hat seine eigene Mystik und Klang. 
Sich auf den Klang einlassen und intensiv hineinhören ist gleichermaßen auch eine meditative Fokussierung auf die Musik.
Folgt den Klängen ohne Gedanken. Nur auf sich selbst zu konzentrieren und entspannen. 
Musik ist heilsam für uns Menschen. 

Ich habe frei von allen Mustern der Klanggestaltung mich von den Klängen inspiriert leiten lassen. 
Spielerisch, improvisierend mich dem Gefühl jeder Taste von Ton zu Ton leitend hingegeben.
Ohne auf einen richtigen oder falschen Ton zu achten.
Denn eigentlich gibt es keinen falschen Ton. Alles ist Klang.
Ich komponiere nicht, ich werde komponiert.
Die Komposition ist bereits da, ich horche in die Stille.
Das Leben ist eine Komposition.

Jeder Körper ist anders und hat unterschiedliche Schwingungen.

So mit starte ich eine musikalische Reise mit den Tasten die ich liebe.
Eine Klaviermeditation zur Entspannung, zur Erholung, zur Heilung unserer Klangkörper.

Ich wünsche Euch liebevolle, beruhigende und entspannte Klangmomente.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

“The Keys I Love” Part VI. (01/31/2024)

The power of music.
I deliberately called it piano meditations. Tender and compassionate.
Even if other instruments also play a delicate, minimalistic role - as in this recording.
A touch of flowing and undulating sound harmonies.
So here is the continuation of my sound resonance journey with this sixth part of the piano meditations.

You can listen to “The Keys I Love” Part V at this link:
https://soundcloud.com/cloppenburg-music/the-keys-i-love-part-v

Piano music arranged in a different way with delicate, interwoven sound forms.
The piano still remains at the forefront of the composition.
Every piano has its own mystique and sound.
Getting involved with the sound and listening intensively is also a meditative focus on the music.
Follow the sounds without thoughts. Just concentrate on yourself and relax.
Music is healing for us humans.

Free from all patterns of sound design, I let myself be inspired by the sounds.
Playfully, improvising, surrendering to the feeling of each key leading from note to note.
Without paying attention to a right or wrong tone.
Because there is actually no wrong tone. Everything is sound.
I don't compose, I am composed.
The composition is already there, I listen to the silence.
Life is a composition.

Every body is different and has different vibrations.

So I'm starting a musical journey with the keys I love.
A piano meditation for relaxation, recovery, and healing of our sound bodies.

I wish you loving, calming and relaxed sound moments.

Thank you for your valued attention.
