Music: Give And Get Project
It was 1999, north of Finland. Anne and me went for dinner to a friend of her: Sari. Anne told me Sari was a poetess but Anne also told her I was a songwriter. So, during the dinner, we spoke a little about a possible collaboration. But we know how distant we lived and how little chance to have a success it could be. Anyway, Sari was so kind to give me some pages with eight of her poems printed. She said to me that there was a poem, in particular, that could be very suitable as lyrics for a song: Give And Get.
Those pages return in Italy with me and stayed between my lyrics for a while. But everytime I took them in hand to try some melody, the words in the lines poured from the page and arouse me to go inside the Sari's world: an emotional trip.
Such lyrics deserved a good work of songwriting. So I begin to work on them in the last months of 1999, but then there was Aurasonora project to drain my energies and I never come to finish the "Give And Get" project. Words were beautiful but in that period simply i never had the right focus and time to develop the relevant music as I wish to do.
From a project to another, never came the Give And Get turn, up to the 2013. I took all I still remember about melodies, harmonies and rhythmics and put in a Daw project to make a "voice + acoustic guitar" demo of all the songs. Now for Sari's sake, I publish here all the demo songs, nut please remember that these aren't songs, only unarranged demos of the future songs. And don't forget I'm ONLY a songwriter, NOT a singer...
Playing with Photoshop, I elaborate also a possible cover, just to give an hint about the mood of the album that could be followed in the future. I'm thinking about a intimate/rock group line-up (with Francesco Russo and Pierpaolo Letizia I hope). Recording session will be in the first quarter of 2014. Anyway at the moment this remain a project of mine and - for this - is currently carrying my name.
Let's see what will happen this time. At least, I hope it could be the chance to spread a little bit more my rmusical relationships thank to the web.
