Vasco Rossi Live in Circo Massimo, Roma

Yesterday night I was in Circo Massimo to see Vasco Rossi live! I had no ticket (people bought them in 2019) but staying in a side streed I was able to hear all clearly and to see the lights. The music was great and full of energy and he is still a real rocker and he authored several beautiful songs. I feel grateful for this ♡ On YouTube there are many beautiful videos of this gig, and watching them you can see how the world has changed in a few years and how attending to a show it's different now with respect to how it was - let's say - in 2010... Or not?

Peter Gabriel in Milan last October

Franco Battiato - Le Sacre Sinfonie del Tempo

Another great song by Franco Battiato, RIP

Franco Battiato - Di Passaggio

A very beautiful song by one of the greatest Italian artists who passed away today

 

VOCE - Madame

Peter Gabriel - Lay Your Hands on Me (Live In Athens 1987)

Drake - God's Plan

Well... I must confess it's the first time I read about this video... About this GREAT video :-)

Feedback from the Real World Studios engineers:

We’d like to thank everyone who entered the Real World Remix contest. We hope that you enjoyed taking apart and reworking the stems of Les Amazones d’Afrqiue’s track, Love. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to your remixes and were amazed by the high standard. There really wasn’t a bad one among them. The number we received was higher than we’d hoped for, amounting to 36 hours of listening in total.

Whittling the entries down was no easy task. Every single remix was listened to and given an equal chance by the team from the studio before we selected the final 12. Unfortunately we aren’t able to give individual feedback on each remix, as you can imagine, but the diversity and imagination that went into your remixes really stood out to us. There were some truly inventive and unique re-imaginings of the track, taking it to places we wouldn’t have expected. The sonics of the tracks were overall impeccable, the mixes were overwhelmingly refined and well balanced with many of them sitting at a release-ready standard.

The final 12 remixes are now being listened to by judges Jacknife Lee and Che Pope. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will be revealed on Wednesday 10 June 2020.

Remix Contest: ‘Love’ by Les Amazones d’Afrique

Yesterday I uploaded a remix for this contest from Real World:

https://realworldrecords.com/features/blogs/remix-contest-love-by-les-amazones-dafrique/

Seven years passed since my last remix... An unbelievable time frame.

I feel happy and melancholic... At the moment, it seems it is not possible to listen to these remixes. Let's see what happens in next days.

It would be great to me to see some known names to appear amongst the uploaded playlists... This is not possible, I know it. But it is a nice thought to think of.

Paths That Cross - Patti Smith

Speak to me 

Speak to me heart 
I feel a needing 
To bridge the clouds 
Softly go 
A way I wish to know 
A way I wish to know 

Oh you'll ride 
Surely dance 
In a ring 
Backwards and forwards 
Those who seek 
Feel the glow 
A glow we will all know 
A glow we will all know 

On that day 
Filled with grace 
And the heart's communion 
Steps we take 
Steps we trace 
Into the light of reunion 

Paths that cross 
Will cross again 
Paths that cross 
Will cross again 

Speak to me 
Speak to me shadow 
I spin from the wheel 
Nothing at all 
Save the need 
The need to weave 
A silk of souls 
That whisper whisper 
A silk of souls 
That whispers to me 

Speak to me heart 
All things renew 
Hearts will mend 
Round the bend 
Paths that cross 
Cross again 
Paths that cross 
Will cross again 

Paths That Cross
