Hey Domenico!
I like this. Is that a Fretless you are using? I love Fretless bass. So prevelant in the mid eighties. Cool tune.
Good to hear from you again ehh?
Steven
Prima di rendermi conto che la traccia era del signor Domenico Wolf, avevo già pensato che era "molto italiana" come costruzione e che ci avrei messo sopra un bel cantato nella nostra bella lingua, fottesega se qua non la capiscono (c'è l'hip hop in russo, perciò...)
Per essere il lavoro fatto in appena un ora è eccellente, a prescindere dai consigli che ti ha dato Wayne. Probabilmente tornerai a lavorarci su, per variare qualcosa: se così sarà, aggiungi qualche variazione nella musica, uno special ad esempio. Al tuo posto, avrei aggiunto una sezione in cui avrei sostituito lo snare con un bel sidestick (come quello brillantissimo che puoi ascoltare nel brano "Consequence" dei The Notwist).
Per qualche strana ragione, ci vedrei sopra una improvvisazione di synth piano, precisamente l'E.Piano (FM synth della Yamaha Dx7), con un campo stereo ampio, in modo tale che non vada ad addensarsi al centro dove comandano le chitarre e le batterie...
Non rimproverarmi se scrivo in italiano, per far contenti gli altri ho scritto in inglese e francese, cavolo con un italiano vorrei poter usare la nostra lingua!
Hi Mr Henry Pascal!
Credo sia la prima volta che scrivo in italiano su questo sito... ma non credo sia un problema ;-)
Grazie del commento. Non so se rimettero' mano a questa canzone, ma se lo dovessi fare sicuramente terro' conto dei tui suggerimenti: stide stick (non ho idea di chi siano i Notwist, devo andare a controllare) ... sull'improvvisazione di Epiano non ho idee. Magari hai un'idea tu e possiamo far partire una collaborazione.
E ovviamente, dovessi aver bisogno di una parte di basso, basta che mi mandi un messagio privato!
Ciao, Domenico
You did a good job with making the mix sound clear. It's very loud, but clear. You had fun with jamming to the track. The drum sound is great, it made me look up toontrack to see what it was. I need to get that. Nice jam!
Hey Domenico! For a rough idea i think it's a decent idea. Obviously not the best mix for only an hour but the musical idea is there and all the elements other than a vocal track or featured/lead instrument are present. I hope that you spend a minute or two more to add a lead guitar or vocal track(a featured instrument) because the laid back groove is cool.
I've been trying to think of what this reminds me of and strangely, i think of the Clash/Sandinista album and all the oddball music they put on there. It wasn't a fluid album but a diverse collection of styles of music. This one would fit on that album. I know that is weird but it is a compliment, ha!
Thanks for the comment Wayne.
I am not sure whether I will rework this or not: was a nice experiment for me... but I don't think I will repeat it.
Regarding the comparison with Sandinista: CLASH is one of the bands I love more! Your avatar is what I have used a lot of times on other web-sites ... without "the humps" of course :-P
London Calling is one of my 5 "desert islands" records.
Still I loved Sandinista as well. Now I need a joe-strummer-like singer to put some words on this song.
Ciao, Domenico
fantastic jam...yeah, that bass riff told the story but all of the other instrus put some interest...like the drums too...all in all, it could be a good song on concert for example when the singer has to drink stg...:-)
Thanks MrBen!
Recording was done going direct into the audio card, plus 3 mikes for drums (2 OH +kick). I was surprised by how good it sounded :-)
Take care, Domenico
As a rehearsal recording this is absolutely fabulous ! Also watched the youtube video and my impression of a very skilled and tight band got even more emphasized. Your band truly demonstrates high standards on all levels. Keep up good work !
Thanks for the kind words.
Actually I am not in this band anymore: I am now playing in a "german pop band" ... after 15 years living here German lyrics still sound a bit exotic to my ears :-)
This track was the last one I uploaded here... I need to get more active!
Take care, Domenico
This is a super groovy and ear pleasing track, my friend!
Obviously, the vocals will stand out in a song like this, partly because of your gentle treatment of them in the mix - However, I think your instrumental efforts are the real star! You have shown your multi-instrumental prowess, and the ability to DIY a band. I love to hear that in a song or album!
I also always enjoy hearing organ work in a song, and this seems like a comfortable home for an organ. I found the comment about crucethus have a B3 in his pocket quite entertaining. As someone who has pushed a Lowery console spinet home on the ice, I know how ironically funny this is!
The bass and guitar work is top notch, most especially for a bluesy, rock and pop influenced piece. They are mixed with style, and also stand out, each to be appreciated.
Wow......it is a great song Domenico...love the vocal & its delivery & the accompaniment is as good as it gets...the limiting doesn`t seem to hurt the dynamics at all so you must have done more than a little work there too...I have done a little live work (mainly just taking feeds from the main mixer & a room mic or 2) so I know a bit about the challenges...you did a great job my friend....and you have a superb result to show for it...you have a talented band....I will buy a ticket if you ever come here.....cheers....Ed
Hi Ed,
Sorry for the huge delay in replaying.
Thanks for the kind words.
If I should ever get close to you I will definitely try to meet you in person: it would be a great honor for me.
Take care, Domenico
Hi there!
i prefered go on youtube, and watching your live was a great experience! relly good sound!
i hope like me others people will share your video on the web, sometimes nature give us good virus, it's the case with your rock band!
respect for your work!
Nice practice recording Domenico, we miss you're music around here! I like the song, it reminds me of a song from the 90's and like Spiv I can't put my finger on it. That must mean it has a professional sound, the real deal.
I've been down my friends house recording his band live a few times. His room is an echo chamber so the drums are big and lost, they sound awful when we record them. We use a set of mics designed for the small kit using 3 mics, one at the kick, one under the ride/above floor tom, one near the snare/hihat/crash. How important to you is making the rehearsal space sound proofed and a bit dead sounding to get the drums better? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks for the nice comment Wayne.
I also believe that this song has a "90s commercial" taste but I cannot point a specific song.
Regarding how to record, I'll send you a PM with my contacts if you want to get more details.
I also recorded the drums with 3 mics only and in these cases the "room sound" makes a huge difference: you can get good results only if the drums have a good "live sound". This mic configuration captures what you are hearing and it's hard to improve this.
There is something really special about this song, and the sound you've achieved in it! It is reminding me of something I've heard, but something which I heard so long ago that I can't even place what I'm thinking of. I can hear a song in my head, but can't make the connection to who it is. That does not matter though, what matters is the potency of this song!
The performances are are spectacular from what I'm hearing. The mixing is especially good for a live performance. I don't know if it could sound any better!
I too would like to get an album of this group, and I will bookmark your website as soon as I'm done with this comment. Thank you for sharing the very cool music! Love it! Fave!
Thanks Spiv. I am on a learning curve: this is the 3rd session where I am trying to record something for a video. I think that I improved on the mixing part, but it must be said that this song was also "less challenging": to mix/master hard rock songs where much more is going on requires a lot of skill.
Take care, Domenico
A band is a band is a band.
Great stuff Domenico. I bet you had invest much time into this one and you really didn't waist any second of it. You all did a good job and i enjoyed the listen. I am not a mastering expert so i can't say any on what you should do to make it sound better. But if you want you can send me the steems and i will do a Joe Cramer mastering for you :)
Thanks for the kind words Joe!
Unfortunately I can't send you the stems for a remix, it would have been interesting.
I am always trying to improve: I think that this recording was already at a good level, I am not so happy about the quality of vocals (but this is probably due to the microphone we used).
Ciao, Domenico
Wow I just watched you old dudes on the tube and you are rocking!
The standard of stuff on here is so high!
Me I'm just an old fart (64) who messes about as a hobby and I know I'm never going to reach such dizzy hights.
Thanks for the kind words Silverman.
We are hobbyists as well and playing music is fun: that's the main purpose of it!
So, keep rocking man!
Ciao, Domenico
Great to see rockers here on the loop ! We are just a few my friend hehe, so keep droppin some angry distortion ! Really like this one, congrats on this work !
Rockers are everywhere!
Maybe we are "under-represented" on a loop website, but I think that's kind of natural: rock is sweaty people in a small room making huge noise! :-)

A nice instrumental song is always a good idea to give the poor singer some rest.
