Long time i don't post something new.
I did some tests, would like to know what do you think.
These are not a "high quality" works, but can give the idea anyhow.
The first is a "medival dance" test, with 7 harps and percussions (harp played by me, of course! ;))
File here:

The second are 3 fragments together: unfortunatly for most of you the text is in italian :D
Anyhow, all played by me (yesm it's my horrible voice!), also the piccolo irish flutes at the end (that instrument is TERRIBLE to play).

i like!
La Fiera (the Fire?) is creepy.. are you sure thats voice? you sound like an evil cultist.. VERY CREEPY!
-
It's actually "The Fair" if I am not mistaken, But I do agree with X
-
ohh!!! the FAIR.. no wonder you sounded like an evil cultist =P no offense Alex! the voice u used matched the title!
-
Not really.
In Italian FIERA has two meanings: FAIR is one, but the other is BEAST, WILD ANIMAL.
The voice is creepy because the real meaning is the 2nd one.
The text, translated, is (more or less, unfortunatly in english it sounds a bit different):
******** THE BEAST (the Fair) **********
Within a heart, dark clouds.
Slow death will wrap eveything.
Slowly, the rock falls
it's the beast that will feast,
without any kind of morality
Where the beast will feast
is the cadaver of a city
eat greatness, defecate heresy
so there the beast, everything is mine!
On the wreck a big mess
the feast continue, there's no schedule
everyone wants at least a portion
the beast devour, civil is the fatality!

There is a reason for this, a sad reson.

My voice sounds creepy? That's true and right. I'm near to cry every time i walk in my City knowing what's happening, or even when i simply think to it.
It's Venice, my city and a World's patrimony, being DESTROYED. Physically.
-
I also thought that in mind, since "Fiera" also means "beast" in spanish, But I thought "Feria"(in spanish) was "Fiera" (in italian)....
Yeah I see, it is terreble to know that your native and raised place is going under terrible cirmcomstances...My feelings to you...
-
La_Fiera! Rocks! You mind if my band does a cover? My drummer's grandpa came from Venice, and my drummer is fluent so he or his mother could translate. But i really like that!
Edit: Sorry if this is a topic kick. I only heard it now!
-
A cover?
Wow, i fell like a superstar, now :D :D :D
If you'd like to, you're welcome: i write music (a lot, both classic and modern) but i'm alone, so it's hard for me to realize it.
The idea of being the author of song played in another place is so cool!
Like "I am mozart and you're Paganini". LOL!
Anyhow, if you'll do something, let me know!
I wanna hear it ABSOLUTELY!!! (and wanna the copylefts too ;))
And who knows... if your is a good band maybe we could do more in the future... who knows... :D
Edit: BTW, "la fiera" it's not finished yet...
-
When it is finished We'll do it again, but i REALLY REALLY REALLY like it. When we record it, I'll post it here, so that you can hear your own work, done by someone else. Most of the instruments will have to be rearranged, as we only have 2 guitars, drums and bass. But I think my guitarists could pull off the sounds, using their effects pedal.
-
can i get a piano transcription of la fiera?
-
Sorry, but i've never do piano transcriptions for this song.
I've not finished that yet ;)
Anyhow the harmony is quite simple (Am Am F G Am Em Am) if you'd like to create one.
-
thx. im gonna go to my piano right now to check that out.
{play}
I like it!!! thx
-
BTW: just a small new, stupid, and horribly realized test.
The text is:
Charas
we're all singing for Charas
because what do we do want
is just a living tale
And the horribly realized test is here.
Have fun! :D

*GHOST POST*
Sorry to say, but that was... dreadfull...
By the way, if anyone is interested in doing the guitar piece for "I Know How You Feel". My microphone sucks, and I don't have a proper metronome.
The tabs are attached.
Oh, the beat is 80 BPS.
*END GHOST POST*
/me is not here...
-
ya that song sent me on a trip
what was all that chanting about? owch
-
:yell: I know it's a crap, was just a fast experiment, uff... :yell:
Anyhow, to apologize, other another old experiment ;)
BTW: do NOT comment the voice quality, i am NOT a singer!
Moreover this songs is almost 7 years old! :D :D :D

i think that one was actually pretty good. could u translate it?
-
The "redentore" song?
Of course!
But first of all i have to explain what the "Redentore" (Saviour in english) is.
It's one of the most important holy days in Venice.
Generally, the Holy Mass is celebrated in the 3td Sunday of July.
But the day before (the 3rd Saturday) there is the "pagan party", which means fireworks, drink drink drink and sleeping in the beach under the stars :D
The song is referred to the Saturday: unfortunatly there are so many boys looking for drunked girls (you can understand why) and for false friends. I hate this: this behaviour really make me sad and angry (note the double sense of "no one will give it to you" in the song).
EDIT:
about the fireworks, here you can see some picture of them i and a friend of mine took in the 2003 edition.
Click and see! (http://venicexplorer.net/indexfast.php?hlangs=en&qpage=http%3A%2F%2Fvenicexplorer.net%2Fartit%2Fwall%2Fwall.php%3Fhlangs%3Den%26cat%3Dredentore)
So now, the transaltion!
THE SAVIOUR
What evening, in this big City,
No one still remember there is a World outside.
This evening, not any truth,
everyone will just attempt to find friends.
And when you'll find friends,
you will disclose a lie is an everyday thing.
If, instead, you're looking for loyalness,
and no one will give it to you, change City.
[chorus]
When you'll find friends,
you will disclose a lie is an everyday thing.
[/chorus]
Evening, this evening, evening, evening, ohhhh....
[chorus]
When you'll find friends,
you will disclose a lie is an everyday thing.
[/chorus]
When you'll understand this,
from that moment over,
real friend you'll have, forever
But be careful you too,
because if one day you will belie them,
the "non-forgiveness" is what you'll have.
-
thats awesome. thx

I'm drummer in a french rock band, but I compose and write lyrics in english, I can write here the begining of one.
It's called Last Summer, by the Ship Ocean Travellers
LAST SUMMER
Summer sings, it's time to cry
I'm looking for the sadness in your eyes
I only see you don't understand
Earth is heating, it's melting down
World is dying, World is falling
Listen the radio!!!
When you're drinking, World is draining
Smell, the air is raw
Refrain:
This is Summer, this is a bummer
People pierced, the ozone layer
Look at the fire, it makes all burn
Finally, this is Last Summer
