<p>Non penso che qualcuno stia visitando questo sito Web, ma, nel caso, voglio farvi sapere che al momento sto lavorando ad un nuovo album, una sorta di sequel a "Enjoy My Wrong Shoes" che era dedicato ai Depeche Mode, ma questa volta, tutto basato sui Tears For Fears. </p>
<p>Si chiamerà "No Tears, No Fears" e dovrebbe essere molto figo!</p>
<p>Sarà dedicato ad un amico che è scomparso all'improvviso, ed era un grande fan del duo britannico come me, e francamente, anche se avevo quest'idea in mente da un po ', lui è stata la scintilla che ha acceso l'inizio dei lavori: Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down) è stata creata appositamente per lui. </p>
<p>Come al solito ci saranno alcuni ospiti e nel frattempo potete ascoltarla ... </p>

<p>I don't think anybody is visiting this website, but, in case, I want to let you know I am currently working on a new album, kind of sequel to "Enjoy My Wrong Shoes" which was dedicated to Depeche Mode, but this time, all based on Tears For Fears.</p>
<p>It will be entitled "No Tears, No Fears" and should be very cool...!</p>
<p>It will be dedicated to a friend who passed away out of the blue, and was a huge fan like me of the British duo, and frankly, although I had this in mind for a while, he was the spark that fired the beginning fo the works: Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down) has been crafted especially for him.</p>
<p>As usual there will be some guests, and meantime you can listen to it...</p>

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">ENGLISH BELOW</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">Bene, è tempo di dare qualche anticipazione.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">Avevo intenzione di pubblicare un 'best of' per i 10 anni di carriera, e come ogni raccolta che si rispetti, avrebbe dovuto includere qualche inedito, o versione alternativa.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">Ho cominciato a raccogliere qualche traccia, rimasterizzarne qualcuna, scavato gli archivi cercando materiale non pubblicato, e alla fine della fiera mi son ritrovato con ben 11 tracce. Praticamente un album.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">D'accordo con la mia etichetta, ho acccettato il suggerimento di aggiungere un altro paio di brani, e pubblicare la prosima uscita come 'album', per non confondere e svalorizzare il materiale nuovo, mentre il 'best of' uscirà più avanti verso fine anno.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">Entrambi sempre e solo in digitale, l'album su tutte le piattaforme di download e streaming, mentre il 'best of' solo per iTunes ad un prezzo molto ridotto.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">'Life Is A Tape 2007 - 2017' non sarà un vero e proprio album come ho concepito "23:32" e la tracklist sarà composta da:</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- una suite di 12 minuti che non ho mai avuto il coraggio di pubblicare</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- la versione originale di 'Springtime', finora disponibile solo nella versione 'Remix'</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- 2 covers pubblicate lo scorso anno in "Papeetecafé Saudade" più un'altra cover che non trovò spazio nella tracklist della medesima</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- 2 brani strumentali con Andy G, parte di 4 esperimenti, dei quali uno, "Essence" è stato da poco pubblicato da Lounge Masters.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- 1 brano rimasterizzato ed 1 rimasterizzato e rivisitato dal primo album 'Beautiful Memories...'</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- una nuova versione di 'Basically I'm Fine'</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- 1 brano che era inizialmente strumentale destinato ad un progetto pubblicitario e che ho trasformato in canzone</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- 1 brano che arriva alla sua terza veste</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- Ed infine una traccia composta ancora prima che Didascalis pubblicasse ufficialmente qualcosa, risalente addirittura al 2003, ma mai realizzata in studio fino ad oggi.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">Quindi posso dichiarare che il settimo album sarà una raccolta-non-raccolta, con il sound ed il sapore che contraddistingue le mie ultime produzioni.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">Dimenticavo: si chiamerà 'Life Is A Tape 2007 - 2017' perché contiene anche una nuova versione, quasi acustica, di 'Life Is A Tape', con la partecipazione di Garduz - che da quando suona live con me, adora questo brano-, e cantato da Mary.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">In fondo, credo che il testo di 'Life Is A Tape' sia una delle cose più profonde ed originali che abbia mai scritto.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">P.S. Come al solito, ogni brano sarà accompagnato da un post con una sua descrizione e storia che lo riguarda.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">P.P.S. Sarà un album molto più downtempo di quanto avrei voluto, quindi:</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">relaaaaaaaaax</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">D</div>
<div class="_h2x"><img src="https://scontent-mxp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/q84/p720x720/18623519_1639764716051847_7321589360717501682_o.jpg?oh=d36a5fcf9c480011037388cddb8558ec&oe=5ACD65F3" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="401" id="u_9k_0" width="401" /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa"></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">Well, it's time to give some anticipation.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">I was going to release a 'best of' for the 10 year career, and as any collection that respects, it should have included some unreleased or alternative versions.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">I started collecting some tracks, remastering some of them, digging the archives for unreleased material, and at the end of the day I found myself with 11 tracks. Virtually an album.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">Agreed with my label, I've welcomed the suggestion of adding another couple of songs, and put out next release as an 'album', not to confuse and surrender the new material, while the 'best of' will be out later this year.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">Both always and only in digital, the album on all download and streaming platforms, while the 'best of' only for iTunes at a very low price.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">'Life Is A Tape 2007 - 2017' will not be a real album as "23:32" was conceived and the tracklist will consist of:</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- a 12 minutes suite I never dared to release before</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- the original version of 'Springtime', so far only available in 'Remix'</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- 2 covers released last year in "Papeetecafé Saudade" plus another cover that did not find room in the tracklist of the same</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- 2 instrumental tracks with Andy G, part of 4 experiments, one of which, "Essence" has recently been released by Lounge Masters.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- 1 remastered track and one remastered and revisited from the first album 'Beautiful Memories ...'</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- a new version of 'Basically I'm Fine'</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- 1 track that was initially instrumental for a commercial project and I turned it into a song</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- 1 song that comes to its third garment</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">- And finally a track composed yet before Didascalis released something officially, even dating back to 2003, but never done in the studio to this day.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">So I can say that the seventh album will be a collection-non-collection, with the sound and flavor that distinguishes my latest productions.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">I forgot: it will be called 'Life Is A Tape 2007 - 2017' because it also contains a new, almost acoustic version of 'Life Is A Tape', featuring Garduz - who since playing live with me, adores this song, and sang by Mary.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">After all, I think 'Life Is A Tape's' lyrics are one of the deepest and most original things I've ever written.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">P.S. As usual, each track will be posted along with a description and a story about it.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">P.P.S It will be a more downtempo album than I wished, so: relaaaaaaaax</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">D</div>
Didascalistag:didascalis.it,2005:Post/60894432016-06-07T02:00:00+02:002021-08-10T09:15:18+02:0023:32 Traccia per traccia / Track by track
<p> </p>
<p><br><strong>23:32</strong> traccia per traccia.</p>
<p><br>Breve introduzione: <br>23:32 è il mio sesto album, e ho come l'impressione che chiuda la seconda trilogia di una serie di lavori. Beatiful Memories, Loss e Basically I'm Fine (i primi tre album) furono realizzati in una determinata maniera, con a disposizione certe tecnologie. Poi il passo, la crescita, e forse, 23:32 è il più maturo degli ultimi tre lavori assieme a Enjoy My Wrong Shoes e Me, Myself & Someone Else. La necessità di collaborare con altri musicisti, che ormai fanno parte di Didascalis, anche se non ufficialmente, ma al contempo la necessità di ritrovare quel che era Didascalis in origine, ovvero un progetto frutto della mia mente, fanno di 23:32 a mio parere l'album perfetto, frutto di un cammino e di una crescita musicale, che non so dove mi porterà, ma che per il momento segna un ultimo e momentaneo tassello nella mia discografia di cui andarne fiero. Un po' presuntuoso, ma un amico una volta mi disse “bisogna sempre ragionare 'in grande'!”, e nel mio “piccolo” cerco di seguire quel suo consiglio.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BLACK, BLUE, RED (feat. Garduz)</strong>Ho sempre invidiato coloro che riescono a scrivere un brano con parti diverse tra loro, ma sullo stesso giro di accordi. Stavolta posso dire di esserci riuscito. Il testo, scritto per qualche provino non andato a buon fine e per chissà chi, l'ho adattato ad una sequenza di accordi che ricorda un po' gli Incognito o Brand New Heavies (precursori dell'Acid Jazz), e vuoi non corredare questo sound fresco con un bel sax aggressivo? Il compito è toccato a Luca Gardini, virtuoso musicista scoperto negli ultimi anni, che si insinua nelle tessiture dei miei brani in maniera egregia.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>SURRENDER (feat. Andy G, Frensy & Henrique Pirai)</strong>Perché riarrangiare una cover? Perché si ama un brano a tal punto da dire “avrei voluto scriverlo io!!”, e quindi si prova a dargli una nuova veste come se ne fossimo gli autori. In tutti i brani ho cercato due comuni denominatori diversamente dagli approcci precedenti: rimanere più alto in bpm (brani più veloci) e cercare di non ripetere i suoni, se possibile anche all'interno dello stesso brano. “Surrender” è una canzone degli Swing Out Sister che ad oggi mi fa sognare, quindi ho sfoderato una produzione degna di una sua sostituta, chiamando Andrea Guerrini che ha trasportato di tonalità in maniera impeccabile le sezioni dei fiati, Francesca Castorri, già co-protagonista in diversi brani di “Enjoy My Wrong Shoes” a fare da corista, e un sapore esotico di flauto traverso grazie ad un “amico” direttamente dal Brasile, che non conosco di persona, ma che il caso ha voluto lavorasse per un'azienda italiana e quindi conoscitore della mia lingua, e, produttore anch'egli di musica lounge; un gradito scambio di favori con Henrique Pirai da Rio De Janeiro. Amante delle versioni live, ho preso in prestito l'idea per l'intro e l'outro del brano dagli Swing Out Sister quando lo eseguono in concerto.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>FEET IN THE SAND</strong> <br>Quando qualcuno mi parla di chillout, che poi è il seme da cui è nato Didascalis, io mi immagino una spiaggia, il tramonto, un pianoforte e dei suoni morbidi, uniti all'elettronica con una manciata di accordi. Due per l'esattezza. Se cercate la mia “anima musicale”, beh, in questo brano la trovate. Da ascoltare in riva al mare arricciando le dita dei piedi nella sabbia. <br>CANTALOUPE ISLAND (Andy G Revisited) <br>Una cover la si può fare anche di un brano strumentale, e ancor più famosa dell'originale di Herbie Hancock (perché l'ha composta lui), è quella di metà anni 90 degli US3. Forse Andrea (Guerrini) me la propose per il nostro latitante D.A.F. Project, non ricordo bene quando, come se fosse una sfida: una successione di 4 accordi, ma usandone solamente 3, così da formare una sequenza 1-2-3-1, 2-3-1-2, 3-1-2-3, etc etc... La magia e l'etereità di questo brano sostenute da una groove incalzante fanno da tappeto alla maestria di Andy in tutte le sue sfumature di musicista, arrangiatore, padrone della tromba e di tutte le sue varianti.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>C</strong><strong>AN WE STILL BE FRIENDS (feat. Andy G & Frenky)</strong></p>
<p>Prima che la tv fosse sovraccaricata di “Serie Televisive” c'erano i “telefilm”, e una serie che ho amato era su questo studio di avvocati strampalati, la cui protagonista era Ally McBeal. Spesso dopo il lavoro si trovavano in un pub a bere, festeggiando una vittoria o affogando i dispiaceri nell'alcool, e Vonda Shepard era la pianista cantante di questo pub. Ogni tanto eseguiva brani originali, altre volte cover, e mi innamorai di questo brano, credendo fosse suo, sentito durante un episodio. L'ho risentito in seguito durante un Live From Daryl's House eseguito da Daryl Hall con la sua band, e finalmente ho scoperto chi avesse scritto questa melodia splendida: Todd Rundgren. Impossibile non farne una cover in stile Didascalis. Rundgren fondamentalmente è un rocker, ho quindi voluto infrangere la regola del lounge o chillout - mantenendo la tromba aperta e muta di Andy negli inserti in ¾ - inserendo un solo finale di chitarra elettrica da pelle d'oca, grazie a Marco Franchini, che ha suonato 3 takes: il primo di prova, i secondi due, uno talmente più bello dell'altro che ho dovuto sceglierne metà e metà da inserire in questo brano. Forse la traccia più elegante dell'album.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>DO YOU LIKE IT?</strong> <br>Chi segue il mio programma <a href="https://www.mixcloud.com/davidemarani/" target="_blank" data-imported="1">Good Vibes Resort</a>, sa bene della mia passione per due duo (ahahahahah... gioco di parole!): dZihan & Kamien e Tosca (Rupert Huber e Richard Dorfmeister), e confesso che mi intrigano quei brani in cui si dice tutto dicendo niente; un paio di accordi che si rincorrono da capo a fondo, giochi di atmosfere, cupe per di più... Però non sono bravo come loro a dare un'identità ad un brano anonimo, quindi ho inserito elementi che contraddistinguono il mio modo di comporre (un 'tema' ad esempio...). Comunque sia l'ispirazione palese è tratta da quei genii. Il titolo è un'ipotetica domanda rivolta alla voce che si sente da metà brano in poi, e a quel che si possa immaginare stia facendo... ;-)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>POLICY OF TRUTH</strong> <br>“Enjoy My Wrong Shoes” fu un album omaggio ai Depeche Mode, e la scelta dei brani per la tracklist aveva un suo senso. Ciò nonostante, ci sono brani che furono esclusi, ma l'amore per “Policy Of Truth” va oltre le scelte prese in passato. In tutta onestà, credo che avrei fatto la cover di questo brano anche se non fosse stato scritto da Martin Gore: mi sono ritrovato una sera a cantarla sulla sequenza di accordi che ho utilizzato per questa mia interpretazione, e semplicemente doveva essere così...</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>A NEW SUNRISE</strong> <br>Il fascino per le voci etniche colpisce ancora, e sinceramente mi dispiace non avere idea di quel che dica la bellissima voce che guida questo viaggio attraverso una nuova alba in una località imprecisata dell'India. L'arte del contrappunto consiste nel fare coesistere più melodie e temi all'interno dello stesso brano, in maniera indipendente tra loro, ed è quel che succede tra la voce, la chitarra classica e i vari synths. Chiudete gli occhi e lasciatevi trasportare.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>RADIO SIGNALS (feat. Andy G)</strong> <br>Un amico mi ha segnalato un album di un produttore dicendomi che ogni brano era costituito solo da 'samples' (ovvero parti audio non suonate ma assemblate), e ho voluto provare a vedere se riuscivo anch'io in questo. Ed ovviamente vi sono riuscito in parte. Per me, suonare, oltre ad essere fondamentale, è proprio un istinto che non riesco a non ascoltare, o meglio, non trovando tra i 'samples' a disposizione quello che il cervello mi suggerisce, sento la necessità di crearmelo! Ma, ho usato un take non utilizzato di Andy G per “Can We Still Be Friends” a mò di sample... (e sveliamoli questi altarini ^_^....)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>NEW YEAR'S DAY</strong> <br>Per un paio di volte ho pubblicato un paio di singoli durante il periodo natalizio. Il periodo più vicino a quello natalizio è l'inizio dell'anno. Nel 2015, pubblicato “Last Christmas” ho iniziato subito a pensare su quale brano sarebbe caduta la scelta per il 2016, ed inevitabilmente ho pensato alla canzone degli U2. Spesso vengo colto da smania, e non riesco ad aspettare un momento preciso per fare qualcosa. Mi sono ritrovato con questa versione finita, in anticipo di un anno! Ho invertito le parti, suonando nel riff quel che nell’originale sarebbe suonato dal pianoforte, con una chitarra classica, e affidato ai synths l'assolo di The Edge, talmente emblematico da risultare un tema più che un assolo.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>FOREVER YOURS, FOREVER MINE (feat. Frensy & Daniele ‘Dano’ Caprelli)</strong> <br>Non so bene perché, ma nel corso degli anni, una delle tracce strumentale preferite da tanti è diventata “Together” - nella sua prima versione, tra l’altro inclusa in nessuno dei miei album. Sentivo che le mancava qualcosa, quindi quando l’ho pubblicata in “Loss”, ho fatto aggiungere il sax soprano da Dano, e, la voce in un cameo centrale, da Erika Tozzi. “Forever Yours, Forever Mine” è la sua cugina, utilizzando al contrario di “Together”, la voce, come se fosse un ‘riff’ strumentale che si ripete, affidata a Francesca Castorri, e ricercando le stesse atmosfere di Together col sax soprano di Daniele, dando un sapore positivo all’atmosfera con gli accordi maggiori e con l’augurio del breve testo che in tanti forse sperano, cercando/trovando la propria persona: “Per sempre tuo, per sempre mia, nulla cambierà, staremo benissimo”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>WE’LL NEVER KNOW (feat. Garduz & Eri Ka)</strong> <br>Solitamente l’ultima canzone di un album, è quella che chiude in bellezza e ti fa venir voglia di riascoltarlo da capo per intero, e le ‘ballads’ son quelle che mi riescono meglio. Un punto interrogativo grande come una casa tra due persone che per svariati motivi, nonostante l’attrazione e le affinità, non possono stare insieme, e ci si chiede come sarebbe stato (vivere insieme) ma non lo sapranno mai. Luca da il meglio di sé in un assolo di sax tenore, che si dipana tra progressioni armoniche mai scontate, e Erika Tozzi, piazza una suo bellissimo cameo vocale a chiusura del brano, come se fosse l’altro punto di vista, quello di “lei”. <br>Io ho già detto quel che ne penso; non mi rimane che augurarvi ‘Buon Ascolto’, sperando vi dia le stesse sensazione che io provo… D</p>

<p><strong>23:32</strong> Track by track</p>
<p>Brief introduction:</p>
<p>23:32 is my sixth album, and I have the impression that it closes the second trilogy of a series of works. "Beatiful Memories", "Loss" and "Basically I'm Fine" (the first three albums) were made in a certain way, with certain technologies available. Then the step, the growth, and perhaps, 23:32 is the most mature of the last three works together with "Enjoy My Wrong Shoes" and "Me, Myself & Someone Else". The need to collaborate with other musicians, who now are part of Didascalis, though not officially, but at the same time the need to regain what was originally Didascalis, which is a project fruit of my mind, make of 23:32 in my opinion the perfect album, fruit of a journey and a musical growth, I do not know where it will take me, but for now marks a last, fleeting element in my discography of which being proud. A bit presumptuous, but a friend once said to me "do always think big!", And in my "little" I try to follow his advice.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>BLACK, BLUE, RED (feat. Garduz)</strong> <br>I have always envied those who can write a song with different parts to each other, but on the same chord progression. This time I can say I succeeded in doing it. The lyrics, written for an umprobable audition went bad and who knows for who, I have adapted to a chord sequence that reminds me Incognito and Brand New Heavies (Acid Jazz precursors), and why not accompany this fresh sound with a nice aggressive sax solo? The task fell to Luca Gardini, virtuoso musician discovered in recent years, which creeps into the textures of my songs beautifully.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>SURRENDER (feat. Andy G, Frensy & Henrique Pirai)</strong> <br>Why re-arrange a cover? Because you love a song to the point of saying "I wished I wrote it !!", and then try to give it a new look as if I was the author. In all the songs I tried two common denominators unlike previous approaches: to remain higher in bpm (faster songs) and try not to repeat the sounds, if possible within the same track. "Surrender" is a song by Swing Out Sister which still makes me dream, so I unsheathed a production worthy of a substitution, calling Andrea Guerrini which transported impeccably in new key the horn sections, Francesca Castorri, former co-starring in several tracks from "Enjoy My Wrong Shoes" to act as a backing vocalist, and an exotic flavor traverso flute, thanks to a "friend" all the way from Brazil, who I don't personally know , but as fate he worked for an Italian company so connoisseur of my language, and a welcome trade-off with lounge music producer Henrique Pirai from Rio De Janeiro. Being a lover of live versions, I borrowed the idea for the intro and outro of the song by Swing Out Sister when they perform in concert.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>FEET IN THE SAND</strong> <br>When someone talks to me about chillout, then that is the seed from which Didascalis was born, I figure out a beach, a sunset, a piano and soft sounds, combined with electronics and a handful of chords. Two to be exact. If you look for my "music soul", well, in this track you can find it. To listen to the sea curling your toes in the sand.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>CANTALOUPE ISLAND (Andy G Revisited)</strong> <br>You can make a cover of an instrumental track too, and even more famous than the original by Herbie Hancock (because he composed it), is the mid 90s one of US3. Maybe Andrea (Guerrini) proposed it to me for our fugitive D.A.F. Project, I don't exactly remember when, as if it was a challenge: a succession of four chords, but using only 3, so as to form a sequence 1-2-3-1 , 2-3-1-2, 3-1-2-3, etc etc ... The magic and the ethereality of this song backed by a relentless groove to form a carpet for Andy craftsmanship in all its shades of musician, arranger, master of the trumpet and all its variants.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS (feat. Andy G & Frenky)</strong> <br>Before the TV was overloaded with "TV Series" were the "show", and a series that I loved was on this study of crazy lawyers, whose main character was Ally McBeal. Often after work they were in a pub drinking, celebrating a victory or drowning their sorrows in alcohol, and Vonda Shepard was the pianist singer of this pub. Now & then performing original songs, sometimes covers, and I fell in love with this song, thinking it was of her, heard during an episode. I heard it again in a Live From Daryl's House run by Daryl Hall with his band, and I finally found out who had written this beautiful melody: Todd Rundgren. Impossible not to make a cover in Didascalis style. Rundgren is basically a rocker, so I wanted to break the rule of chillout lounge - keeping Andy open & muted trumpet in the inserts in ¾ - but inserting one goosebumping electric guitar solo, thanks to Marco Franchini, who played 3 takes: the first to rehearse, the others two, one so much more brilliant than the other, I had to choose half and half of each other to be included in this number. Perhaps the most elegant album track.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>DO YOU LIKE IT?</strong> <br>Those who follow my program <a href="https://www.mixcloud.com/davidemarani/" target="_blank" data-imported="1">Good Vibes Resort</a>, knows of my passion for two duo (ahahahahah ... pun intended!): dZihan & Kamien, and Tosca (Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber), and I confess that intrigue me those songs where it says it all, by saying nothing; a couple of chords that run from start to end, mostly games of atmospheres, dark for more ... Anyway I'm not as good as them to give an identity to an anonymous song, and then I added elements that distinguish the way I compose (a 'theme' for example...). But the blatant ispiration is taken from those geniuses. The title is a hypothetical question posed to the voice you hear from mid-song onwards, at which you can imagine she is doing ... ;-)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>POLICY OF TRUTH</strong> <br>"Enjoy My Wrong Shoes" was an album tribute to Depeche Mode, and the choice of songs for the tracklist had its way. Nonetheless, there are songs that were excluded, but the love for "Policy Of Truth" goes beyond the choices made in the past. In all honesty, I think I covered this song even if it hadn't been written by Martin Gore: I found myself one evening singing on the chord sequence that I used for my interpretation, and simply had to be so ...</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>A NEW SUNRISE</strong> <br>The fascination for ethnic voices strikes again and sincerely I'm disappointed to have no idea what the beautiful voice is saying, and that guides this journey through a new dawn in an unspecified location in India. The art of counterpoint consists in making coexist more melodies and themes within the same track, independently of each other, and that is what happens between the voice, the classical guitar and the various synth. Close your eyes and let yourself go.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>RADIO SIGNALS (feat. Andy G</strong>) <br>A friend told me of an album of a producer, saying that every song was made only of 'samples' (i.e audio parts assembled but not actually being played), and I wanted to try to see if I could make it. And of course I succeeded in part. For me, playing as well as being fundamental, is just an instinct that I cannot not listen, or rather, not finding among the 'samples' available my brain suggests, I feel the need to play them myself! However, I used a Andy G unused take for "Can We Still Be Friends" as a kind of sample ... (let's unfold these secrets ^ _ ^ ....)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>NEW YEAR'S DAY</strong> <br>For a couple of times I have released a couple of singles during the Christmas season. The closer to the Christmas period is the beginning of the year. In 2015, once released "Last Christmas" I immediately started thinking which track I choosed for 2016, and inevitably I thought of the U2 song. I am often seized with frenzy, and I can't wait a percise moment to do something. I found myself with this finished, in advance of a year! I reversed the instruments parts, playing the original piano riff with a classical guitar, and entrusted to the synths The Edge solo, so iconic as to be a theme rather than a solo.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>FOREVER YOURS, MINE FOREVER (feat. Frensy & Daniel 'Dano' Caprelli)</strong> <br>I do not know why, but over the years, one of the favorite track and instrumental for many has become "Together" - in its first version, among other things not included in any of my albums. I felt that something was missing, so when I released it in "", I did add the soprano sax from Dano, and the voice in a central cameo by Erika Tozzi. "Forever Yours, Forever Mine" is its cousin, using as opposed to "Together", the voice, as if it were an instrumental 'riff' that is repeated, headed by Francesca Castorri, and seeking the same atmospheres of "Together" with Daniele sax soprano, giving a positive flavor to the atmosphere with major chords and with the hope of short lyrics many people hopes, searching / finding his own person: "forever yours, forever mine, nothing will change, we'll just be fine. "</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>WE'LL NEVER KNOW (feat. Garduz & Eri Ka)</strong> <br>Usually the last song of the album, is the one that ends happily and makes you want to hear it all over again, and 'ballads' are those who succeed me better. A question mark as big as a home between two people who, for various reasons, despite the attraction and affinity, can not be together, and one wonders how it would be (living together) but they'll never know. Luca gives his best in a tenor sax solo that unfolds between harmonic progressions never predictable, and Erika Tozzi, place her own beautiful voice cameo at the end of the song, as if it were the other point of view, the one "of her". <br>I have already said what I think; I can only wish you 'Enjoy your listening', hoping it will give you the same feeling that I feel ...

<p>English version below</p>
<p>Forse i tempi, per maturare necessitano di tempo, e forse io ho i miei di tempi.<br>Per la prima volta pubblico come singolo - il secondo prima dell'album "23:32" - un mio brano.<br>Nel corso degli anni ho scritto tantissimi testi per sperimentare con brani miei o commissionati da altri...<br>E in questo caso mi son ritrovato con una traccia strumentale che non aveva liriche.<br>Perché, scriverne una nuova, quando tante altre sono in una cartella che aspettano di essere cantate?<br>Spirito di adattamento e... et voilà ladies and gentlemen: Black, Blue, Red featuring Garduz (Luca Gardini) al sax <br>tenore.<br>Nu-jazz, chillhouse, Soulful House, Pop-Glamour... scegliete voi il sapore di questo brano!<br>...<br>B-side di questo singolo, al contrario, è la cover di un brano di Sting dall'album "Nothing Like The Sun", che <br>sebbene fosse stato un singolo, nessuno sembra ricordarselo, forse adombrato da Fragile ed Englishman In New <br>York.<br>Stiamo parlando della stupenda "Be Still My Beating Heart".<br>L'arrangiamento me l'ha suggerito la sigla della serie "I Soprano" degli Alabama 3, ma non perché sia un fan della <br>serie, bensì perché la sentii durante un episodio dei Simpson.<br>Il featuring è affidato ad Andy G, e non farà parte di "23:32".</p>

<p>Perhaps the times need time to mature, and perhaps I have my times.<br>For the first time I'm going to release as a single - the second one, before "23:32" release - one of my tunes.<br>Over the years I have written many lyrics to experiment with my music or commissioned by others ...<br>And in this case I found myself with an instrumental track that had no lyrics.<br>Why write a new one, when so many others are in a folder waiting to be sung?<br>Adaptability and ... et voila ladies and gentlemen: Black, Blue, Red feat.

<p>English version below</p>
<p>Confesso di essere davvero emozionato ed eletrizzato nel fare questo annuncio:</p>
<p>Il 25 Aprile 2016, uscirà "Surrender", il primo singolo dal mio prossimo album dal titolo "23:32".</p>
<p>"Surrender" è la cover del celeberrimo brano degli Swing Out Sister, singolo del loro album d'esordio; un brano che ho sempre amato, così bello nella sua versione originale, ed ancor di più nell'extended mix, che ho voluto stravolgerlo e portarlo totalmente in un'altra direzione.</p>
<p>L'arrangiamento è impreziosito da amici che hanno già partecipato alle mie produzione e non:<br>Frensy, ovvero Francesca Castorri, già in "Enjoy The Silence", "Quietly" etc., backing vocals<br>Andy G, ovvero Andrea Guerrini, ma ormai non ha più bisogno di presentazioni: sezione fiati e flicorno<br>Henrique Piraì, anch'egli musicista e produttore, direttamente dal Brasile con un cameo di flauto traverso</p>
<p>Il sapore è nu-jazz o chiamatelo come vi pare...</p>
<p>Affezionato ai vecchi 45 giri, il singolo digitale comprende 2 brani, che non saranno inclusi nell'album (le cosidette "b-side"):</p>
<p>"So Simple" è un brano che composi nel 2007, senza una sua vera e proprià identità; la magia del reinventare lo ha reso un brano contemporaneo, collocabile nel mio sound/repertorio e finalmente verrà pubblicato.</p>
<p>"23:32" invece è un gioco che ho voluto fare: un brano che porta il titolo dell'album ma che non ne fa parte, ed è una breve rielaborazione di un brano che invece è incluso nell'album con un titolo diverso...<br>Ascoltando l'assolo finale di Andy, spogliato dell'arrangiamento in "Radio Signals", sentivo qualcosa di speciale, che mi ricordava un paesaggio notturno in quel di Manhattan, con le luci sfocate; tolto qualcosa, aggiunto qualcos'altro e... spero di aver reso 'musicalmente' l'idea delle immagini che i suoni mi suscitavano...</p>
<p>...e questo è quanto!</p>
<p>D</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/396041/04efe776ef294293befd73f63f06e496a32e8fd8/original/surrenderokblurok.jpg/!!/b%3AWyJyZXNpemU6MzY4eDM2OCJd.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" alt="" height="368" width="368" /></p>
<p><br>I confess I'm really excited and thrilled making this announce:</p>
<p>on April 25, 2016, "Surrender" will be released, first single taken from my forthcoming album entitled "23:32".</p>
<p>"Surrender" is a cover of the very famous Swing Out Sister single from their debut album; a number I've always loved, so perfect in its own original version, and even more the extended mix, that made me twist it and take it in a totally different direction.</p>
<p>The arrangment is enriched by friends who already took part to my previous productions and who didn't:<br>Frensy aka Francesca Castorri, already in "Enjoy The Silence", "Quietly" etc., backing vocals<br>Andy G, aka Andrea Guerrini, who by now don't need any introduction: brass section & flugelhorn<br>Henrique Piraì, musician and producer too, all the way from Brazil with a cameo on traverso flute</p>
<p>Flavour is nu-jazz, or call it as you prefer...</p>
<p>Fond of the old 45s, this digital single includes 2 non-album tracks (so-called "b-sides"):</p>
<p>"So Simple" is a song I wrote in 2007, lacking of a own identity; the magic of reinvent made it a cutting edge track, suitable to my sound/repertoire and finally it will be released.</p>
<p>"23:32" is a game I wished to play: a track of the album same name but that's not part of it, and it's a brief re-work of an album track differently titled....<br>Listening to the final Andy solo, stripped down of the arrangment in "Radio Signals", I felt something special, reminding me a night landscape in Manhattan, with blurred lights; removed something, added something else and... I hope I made the idea "musically speaking" of the images that sounds evocated in me...</p>
<p>...and that's all folks!</p>
<p>D</p>

<p>Afterwards I've posted the Re-Light Orchestra version, here is a video edit of the original track, which I'm featured!<br>Oh how I much enjoy making video! So much fun! </p>
<p>I'd like to specify that I just wrote part of the lyrics and sang...! ;-) That's why it is so distant from my main mood and genre.</p>

<p>What a great performance we did on August 11, 2014...</p>
<p>We were 4 on stage, and except for a couple of technical issues, we had one of our best perfomance in a wonderful location with a great audience...</p>
<p>I possibly can say it's been our first gig ever...</p>
<p>Here are some beautiful pictures taken by Domenico Bressan</p>

<p>"West End Girls" a week before the release of my fifth album "Me, Myself & Someone Else" under the pseudonym Didascalis.<br>In contrast to the digital single "Wrong" which contained two tracks from the album "Enjoy My Wrong Shoes", this EP contains 4 tracks not on the album as well as the single.</p>
<p>"Tequila Sunrise", a cover of the legendary song of the 'Eagles, is the first song that marked the collaboration between myself and Andy G when we met in 2010. I wanted to publish it in the third album "Basically I'm Fine" in 2012, but at the time Andy and I were working on a side project (D.A.F. Project), reworking the song as a much more deep house flavour.<br>That version has not yet been published although it is in the setlist during the sets of Didascalis LIVE Experience!<br>Yes, ok: it's a bit messy thing, but, well, this gem was likely not see the light! So, for reasons of sonority and technologies afar from all over the album, I decided to include it in the EP.</p>
<p>"Yet To Come" is one of my original song that has had several changes during processing.<br>Usually I write about real things; here I made a trip, a meeting with a young girl, on an island at sunset, in a time when you drink but there is no "messiness", everyone is quiet, serene ... and ... the best is yet to come! :-)<br>In the processing phase I opted for two different arrangements, a more chill (this), and a more electro-acoustic well that differs (in the album).<br>I could not exclude one or the other: here's how to give them a decent accomodation!</p>
<p>"Superstar" was created just for fun.<br>I worked with the guys from Relight Orchestra - Robert-eno, Lanzetta & Alex - for this cover, then become a single of theirs, and, for the uninitiated has become the catchphrase in the tune of "La Scossa" in the television program by Carlo Conti " The Legacy/ L'Eredità ", because yes, the idea of covering this was his and sponsored the project.<br>Initially I have entrusted the task of building the basic items, which became the backing vocals of support to David Laudat (who sang the single - check out the video on the net ... ;-) ...).<br>To be able to still create all vocals I needed a backing track. But things by halves I am not able to do it, because I have to complete the arrangement. In a moment in which I devote myself to rearrange covers, I could not leave this out, perhaps not in line with the album, but the song is nice , and performed live (always in sets of DLE) has her why! So let us make space in 'E.P.</p>
<p>"Sunrise (Instrumental)" is a cover of the hit by Simply Red, and is nothing more than the voxless version of the one on the album.<br>A song suffered because left along with another to sing, in a period a little dark, during the final stage of the album. Several attempts and interpretations, and listening and listening again to the 'backing track' I realized how many sounds, nuances and peculiarities had, maybe with a main voice predominant go unnoticed ... I liked it too!<br>And as was used to do once in the B side of a 45, when you put the instrumental track, I wanted to do it too!</p>
<p>The cover image of the digital single, as well as that of the album, and the artwork is curated by Marco Leonardi; a set of photos, taken on the banks of the Ganges in India, at dawn, during his last trip / photo tour in April 2014.</p>
<p>Within the digital download includes a pdf booklet - release date, for AltaModa (alta142): June 27, 2014.</p>

<p>...many artists (more famous than me obviously ) have lent their voice for a featuring, although different from the genre in which they are doing - Jim Kerr, Dave Gahan, Lenny Kravitz - just to name few... <br>SO, this time it's my turn... In<span class="text_exposed_show"> my private/playing live life I gotta admit I'm a kinda rocker, but Didascalis is my soft & smooth side... I try to keep things apart.<br>This time I did a kind of mix! LoL.. but.. who cares...<br>Interesting fact is the 'Didascalis Style' version of the track that you'll find within the release...<br>Enjoy this funny & and a bit wintery clip!<br>D</span></p>

<p>From a while on, I started to upload some podcast on Mixcloud site, driven by some other professional friends djs...</p>
<p>It's a way to promote music I like, I listen to and especially my own productions...</p>
<p>In the first 3 mixes I use to call it 'Personal Selection', then I talked about it to my label, and they suggested to give it a more international flavor so to be able to spread and share it with interested channels... in a while 'Personal Selection' has changed into 'Good Vibes Resort'!</p>
<p>You can go straight to my page by clicking the image below! ... hope you enjoy, share and follow...</p>

<p>With immense pride, a cover, pure MY style, of a band that I love since I was 13, peeping into one of the most important compilations of its kind.<br>WRONG, from the album 'Enjoy My Wrong Shoes' project Didascalis, is present in the so-called 'Blue' compilation The Nightfly Suite Vol. 2 by Radio Monte Carlo.</p>
<p>Many are the artists included and it sounds immensely... I suggest you to buy it! (click on the picture below) ;-)</p>

<p>Yesterday we did the shooting for the upcoming Didascalis video.</p>
<p>I chose 'It's Called A Heart' since it is the song with more positive feedback amongst all...</p>
<p>We filmed it on the beach not too far from where I live, featuring Andrea 'Andy G' Guerrini who really played brass section and trumpet solo in the song itself, and Daniele Zandoli on double bass...</p>
<p>I also had the appearance of 3 belly dancers, friends of mine, and director is Matteo Santi as for 'Wrong' video</p>
<p>This should be ready for late october/early november...</p>
<p>Here are a couple of shots :-)</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Killing The Time is a compilation of tunes old and new, composed in spare moments to kill the time, to have fun, to fight melancholy, while waiting for something to arrive but without knowing exactly what.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Yet To Come was born listening to something similar and to play around with a new classical guitar I bought... by mistake I put a distortion over it and that's what I came up with...</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">While searching the chords for Calling You I recorded the loop...</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">It was so magical I had to build around the whole arrangment and ask Andy to put a solo on.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sailing was a similar consequence.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">During 2012 summer I felt the urge of doing something unplugged for a mysterious 'Best Of' which was floating around inside my mind only, so I picked up Fireworks and Memories, two of the most electronic tracks from my first release. Not satisfied with the first vocal attempt of Memories (which became the official one) I had the chance to record it brand new. Now I'm happy with it. </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Quietly, Never Alone and Floating Away were attempts to play the new classical guitar although I am not a guitar player at all indeed.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Anyway they came out pretty fine, in a very chillout mood, which often misses in my compositions.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Tequila Sunrise is the first track on which Andy put his touch, and we met each other a couple of days before. The start of a great friendship and collaboration.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">A deep-house version belongs to the D.A.F. Project (me & Andy) but God only knows who will release it and when. This version appears as hidden bonus track in Basically I'm Fine album on BandCamp.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">That's why it is for free.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This version of Springtime is the first attempt which was intended to be included on the Enjoy My Wrong Shoes album. I love the beat of a kick drum, not necessarily recalling dance music.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">After a friend suggested me to change the version, the new one was chosen for the album leaving this one a poor orphan.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Let's give it a home.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Superstar is basically the basic track I used to record vocals for Re-Light Orchestra 2013 version. Once they had all of my takes, lead vocal was excellenty done by David Laudat, with all mines used as backing vocals. Since it was almost crafted, I finished it and did my version.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Killing The Time is "the need to make another Exhausted", which is one of my favourite track of me (lol). So I went back to the old project and used some saxophone takes of my mate Valentino from the same session back in time. I think I succeded in what I was aiming.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Listening to all of them i felt upset in not being able to share them with people; every now and then they sound so beautiful.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">It is not an official release, but just made to kill the time.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>(english version see below)</strong></p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Come preannunciato all'uscita del secondo lavoro di Didascalis (LOSS), <strong>BASICALLY I'M FINE</strong> ne è la conseguente chiusura, di un periodo lavorativo, compositivo e metodico.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Le “nuove” tracce sono state composte in anni diversi, con intenti diversi, ed alcune ricostruite appositamente per questa <em>release</em>.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Gli ospiti/collaboratori si limitano all'amico e ormai fido compagno musicale Andrea 'Andy G' Guerrini, che impreziosisce con la sua tromba e flicorno 3 delle 10 tracce.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Un breve cenno come mio solito su ogni “paragrafo” di questa lettura uditiva...</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>EXCUSE ME... WHERE'S THE OASIS?</strong> e <strong>WAITING</strong> fanno parte del periodo pre-Didascalis, quando le prime composizioni venivano suonate esclusivamente <em>live... </em>e, per un buffo equivoco posso dire che siano “cugine di primo grado”, dato che WAITING è nata dall'uso sbagliato del pattern di EMWTO? durante la lunga attesa di un amico musicista che era andato in auto a recuperare il sax....! (2002 circa), quindi la somiglianza non è un caso...</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">una volta deciso di realizzare la <em>studio-version</em> ho ritenuto opportuno ed adeguato rievocare un qualcosa di “desertico” nella prima, suonando un breve e semplice solo con lo strumento in cui mi sono diplomato: l'oboe.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Mentre nella seconda ho affidato il compito ad Andy G.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>A VIEW TO A KILL</strong>.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Quando mi venne chiesto di realizzare la cover di un brano che fosse stato colonna sonora di un film di <em>James Bond, </em>per una compilation chill-out dedicata interamente alle musiche della 'spia con licenza di uccidere', (Licensed To Chill – M.O.D.A. Music Fashion 24 novembre 2008), scelsi quella di uno dei gruppi a cui sono legato maggiormente per questioni di epoca, ovvero i Duran Duran.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Per motivi di tempo venne realizzata molto in fretta, ma ho comunque deciso di ripubblicarla in un contesto <em>Didascalisiano</em> senza alcuna nuova modifica, per chi non l’avesse ancora ascoltata.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>HYPNOSIS</strong> e<strong> BY THE END</strong> appartengono al periodo <em>Noises Beyond (</em>www.facebook.com/noisesbeyond<em>), </em>ma per qualche motivo non sono finite in quel progetto. HYPNOSIS vuole avere un leggero sapore alla Thievery Corporation, mentre BY THE END è la “<em>seconda parte</em>” di WHAT IF (LOSS) , in cui ho iniziato a sperimentare un bmp più alto del mio solito.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>LIFE IS A TAPE</strong> (14.03.2007) credo sia la piccola perla di questa manciata di brani.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Il “demo”, arrangiato com'era non passò il giudizio del mio editore, quindi rimase in archivio per un bel po'.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Risuonata, riarrangiata nel 2011, fu inviata ad Andy G per “curiosità” dicendo che “il brano era già apposto e finito così”....mi sbagliavo.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Ora lo è. (Grazie Andy...)</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>SOMETHING I FORGOT</strong> fa parte di un tentativo di musiche per documentario, mai andato in porto.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Tentativo fallito, talmente fallito che mi ero dimenticato di averla composta, da cui il titolo....</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>BASICALLY I'M FINE</strong> ha a che fare con le solite domande che ci si pone sul cuore, sulle relazioni, sugli affetti o l'essere da soli, in cui “fondamentalmente si sta bene”.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Avrebbe dovuto avere un <em>sound </em>diverso, ispirato da un brano che aveva rapito il mio cuore in quel periodo (fine ottobre 2008), ma, il mio animo pop ha avuto la meglio… o la peggio?....</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>A STRANGE AFTERNOON</strong> fu il primissimo esperimento (appena prima di <em>MEMORIES</em> – BMOASSB - ), sperimentando e giocando con i primi <em>virtual instruments</em> (2001 circa).</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Riesumata nel 2011, tenendo solamente la struttura armonica, le ho dato un sapore un po' più chill e meno funky, e dato che nella prima versione era stato messo un solo di tromba con la sordina (finta) mi son detto “perché non metterci una tromba vera, dato che conosco uno dei migliori trombettisti della Romagna???”.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Il risultato che ne è uscito è davvero piacevole, e assieme a LIFE IS A TAPE si può dire che siano “le 2 vere novità tra gli inediti”....</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><strong>BUT NOT TONIGHT</strong>, seconda cover presente in BIF nacque per gioco il tempo di una notte, per una persona, nel 2007, e sinceramente non doveva nemmeno essere un brano del repertorio Didascalis.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Lo si evince anche dal <em>mood</em> in cui è stato cantato.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Inizialmente era solo un intreccio di <em>pads</em> e voce, interpretato quasi <em>ad libitum;</em></p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">in un secondo momento, su esortazione di amici, ho completato l'arrangiamento, e credo meriti di essere ascoltata.<em> </em></p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The "new" tracks were made in different years with different intentions, and some rebuilt especially for this release.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The guests / collaborators are now limited to my friend and trusted musical partner Andrea 'Andy G' Guerrini, which embellishes with his trumpet and flugelhorn 3 of the 10 tracks.</p>

WHERE'S THE OASIS?</strong> and <strong>WAITING</strong> are part of the pre-Didascalis era, when the first compositions were played exclusively live ... and only for a droll mistake I can say that they are “first cousins”, since WAITING is born by the wrong use of the EMWTO? Pattern, during the long wait for a musician friend who had gone to his car to take the sax ....! (2002 approx), the similarity is no accident ...</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">once decided to make the studio version I thought it appropriate and adequate recall something of "desert" in the first one, playing a short and simple solo with the instrument I’m graduated in: the oboe.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">While in the second I entrusted the task to Andy G.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">When I was asked to make the cover of a song that was the soundtrack of a James Bond movie, for a chill-out compilations dedicated entirely to the music of 'the spy licensed to kill', (Licensed To Chill - MODA Music Fashion November 24, 2008), I picked up one of the bands to which I’m more linked by a matter of age, that is Duran Duran.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">For reasons of time I made it very quickly, but I’ve decided anyway to re-release it in a more <em>Didascalisy</em> context without modification, for those who have not heard it yet.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Played new, re-arranged in 2011, was sent to Andy G for "curiosity" saying that "the song was already well done and finished "....</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">It should have a different sound, inspired by a song that had kidnapped my heart at that time (late October 2008), but my pop soul had it better...</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The result came out really nice, and along with LIFE IS A TAPE can be said to be "the two real news of the entire <em>unreleased material</em>"....</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">This derives also from the mood in which it was sung.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Initially it was just a mixture of pads and vocals, played almost <em>ad libitum</em>;</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">later, on recommendation of friends, I completed the arrangement, and I think it deserves to be heard.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Decidiamo perciò di raccogliere quanti brani pronti possibili, ri-pubblicarne alcuni e <em>restaurarne</em> altri per poter compilare 2 albums.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In totale ne risultano 24: dodici e dodici. Ecco il motivo per cui ho detto che LOSS è il primo tempo....</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“Maybe” vorrebbe essere erede di “Memories” anche se pericolosamente sfiora il pop lasciando il mondo chill-out.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“Loss (for my Dad)” offre un breve cameo vocale (le uniche parole venutemi in mente ad un tale evento) che ricorda i Level 42, ma che poi viene distratto da una fisarmonica avvolta nell'elettronica.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Scusate: <em>mi</em> riporta...</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">“What If” alza un po' i bpm; era nata per fare coppia con un brano finito però nell'altra dozzina.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">vanno a chiudere un periodo: un periodo di composizioni, ispirazioni, ricordi ed attrezzature tecnologiche che rimarranno nel mondo del digital download come quadri in esposizione alla portata di tutti.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Il contesto di DIDASCALIS è fondamentalmente chill-out o lounge elettronico, ma quando mi trovo ad ascoltare artisti affermati in tali generi, percepisco di esserne lontano, di somigliarne ma al contempo non appartenerne.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">DIDASCALIS ha un suo sound: il sound di DIDASCALIS.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">LOSS could be considered the first time a movie or a show.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The first release as DIDASCALIS for M.O.D.A. Music Fashion goes back to 2007, and is basically a collection of individual songs created one by one and without a thread, that Andrea Corelli decides to join in a digital release, once reached the required number.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The result is BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES OF A STRANGE SUMMER BREEZE.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">After that I continued to compose, so many things, and without a definite direction.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I try to create a tracklist similar to BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES, by simply titled "2" when three things happen:</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">1st: January 2010 my father's loss, who was also a musician and listener to all my creations, and was born the song "Loss (for my Dad)."</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">2nd: I find I have careless and silent followers in the digital music world, so I ask Andrea to release a second work.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">3rd: I find myself with too many numbers for a single release.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">We decide therefore to collect as many songs ready as possible, restore and re-publish some others to compile two albums.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">In total there are 24 tracks: twelve and twelve. That's why I said LOSS is the first time...</p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The basic ingredients of inspiration are "inevitable": night, the sounds of nature, heartbreak, electronic which merges with acoustic and wind instruments and Depeche Mode, my great passion.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">I think it's fair the title should be changed from "2" to "LOSS": a small tribute to a very important person.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Open "Let Me Breathe" with its feeling of floating in a pond, nose above water, mouth beneath and the gaze is lost in the small waves created by the movement of the body.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The context for DIDASCALIS is basically chill-out or electronic lounge, but when I'm listening to established artists in these genres, I perceive to be far from that, to look like but at the same time do not belong.</p>
