Song: Non Capisco

E' come correre ascoltando il vento, nella frenetica sicurezza di un bambino che aspetta solo di tornare a casa dopo un anno di scuola.
Che ogni passo dopo  passo dopo passo non li senti piu. E ti sembra, di volare.

E' come la soddisfazione grande di aver dato tutto di aver dato il meglio, di aver lottato fino al punto di provare serenità.

E' come piangere, cantando, la tua canzone preferita,conoscendone il testo a memoria.

E' come il volo di un gabbiano sopra un mare infinito blu. E ti sembra, di volare.

e
all'improvviso ritrovarsi a terra
senza spiegazione

e
all'improvviso rinunciare
senza combattere
e
all'improvviso dimenticarne
le parole
e
all'improvviso perdersi
e non volare piu.

/----non batte piu....
e non capisco.
/----non batte piu...
e ti ferisco..
/non batte piu
questo mio cuore
/ed ho paura,
ma forse è amore.
--------------English--------------------

I don't understand

-------------------------------------------
It 's like running listening to the wind, in the frantic safety of a child who is waiting to go home after a year of school.

Every step by step by step not feel them anymore. And you seem to fly.


And 'as the great satisfaction of having given everything to have given the best, having struggled to the point of feeling serenity.


It 's like crying, singing your favorite song, knowing text by heart.


It 'like a seagull flying over an endless sea of ​​blue. And you seem to fly.


and

suddenly find themselves on the ground
unexplained


and

suddenly abandon
without a fight

and

suddenly forget
the words

and

suddenly lost
and do not fly anymore.


/ ---- no more beats ....
I can not understand.
/ ---- not beat ... more
and I hurt you ..
/ does not beat more
this heart of mine
/ and I'm afraid,
but perhaps it is love.

New Song: Questa Notte



Hi guys. Oh, god. Soundcloud updated their players. Wow. That's cool. Anyway :) The latin flavor Song is finally finished. I REALLY enjoyed the making process this time. I learnt a lot about salsa also with some dance lessons that a friend of mine is giving me. Like what struments are usually used, how they work and so on. So i can recognize now that this song i made is not exactly a traditional salsa. Well they usually use CLAVE, wich is the first sound you hear. I Discovered that there are two rythm parts: 2 - 3, and 3 -2. Ta ta, Taa taa taa. Or, taa taa taa, TA TA! Annnddd that's cool because solved a lot of questions i had listening to these songs lol. After the clave there is a guiro ( not in my song, unfortunately ) that makes like a buzz "trrrr t t trrrr" Lol. It's a freaking funny sound xD. Then there are the congas, then piano, bass and trumpets. Now, i could make  a REAL salsa. BUT, i guess you have to be happy with " questa notte" for now. I am just starting to discover how latin works, so, let's make this voyage together ;D. I think i will make also a "bachata" one day, even if my next song will be more like "greenday". I LOVE to explore genres, musical instruments, behaviors in music etc! :D

About the song. It talks about respect. A day, in  a party, i was really enjoyng the company of a girl. She was sooo beautiful. But, at a certain point she showed me a LOT of respect. And that ,made her just like.. WONDERFUL. So, here's a song for her ;D
Well, lyrics are in italian as usually :) Hope you like it:

QUESTA NOTTE:


E davvero seducente

La visione che ho in mente

Ci sei tu ed io ed altro qui  non ce


Ma tu affettuosamente

Ti avvicini lentamente

Mi assicuri il tuo amore con la tua lealta


Non me lo aspettavo,

mi hai folgorato,

il rispetto conta molto piu di una fantasia


perche dentro nel mio cuore,

provo come del calore

un sentimento che traspare da un sorriso mio


e resto li,

ma io ti stringerei,

ti prenderei e poi ti porterei via con me


ti bacerei,

e ti farei mia,

e nn lo dico per poterti ringraziare


vieni

qui, da me, con me

la clave sta suonando per noi


tempo,fermati,

che questa notte non finisca mai.

Harmonic Minor in a latin flavor.

Hi guys long time no see uh?
Sorry about that, i'm soo... way out of, time, projects and ideas ahhhh..


But!

Lately i love to dance latin music so, why not trying some experiments with fruity loops and a new bunch of vstis (virtual instrumensts)?? I choose the harmonic minor scale, and made some trumpets play! Then i tried to make a salsa in a "rueda" flavor, with that caracteristic sound at the beginning. Result? Listen to this test, the alpha of the song. Lol. i'm too much influenced by PSO2 launch ahah!;D

They're just numbers:)



And I'm happy anyway. : DDDD

Song how to: Comporre una canzone d'amore, ecco la mia esperienza.

SPRAI - Con te by mangasprai

Salve a tutti. :) Fresca una nuova canzone d'amore. Molto romantica. Si vede che mi sono proprio perso per una ragazza eh? Ma non vi svelero' niente! :D Solo godetevi questa nuova produzione composta esclusivamente per lei.

MA! Più che altro, per rendere questo post interessante, vorrei analizzare con voi un po' quello che ho fatto, in termini musicali, in questa traccia. Qui è in scala di DO, ma l' originale è stata un po abbassata per permettere alla mia voce di poterla cantare decentemente :)  Guardiamola:

( Premessa: i gradi le note della scala ( di DO in questo caso ): 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, do re mi fa sol la si, sulle quali vengono composti gli accordi )

Allora la canzone inizia in maggiore , con un evoluzione del giro di do ( C Am Dm G7), che infatti diventa:


C
vorrei capire
Em
la differenza
Am
tra cio che sono e cio
Dm G7
che potrei

Come potete norare c'è solo un terzo grado in piu, ( il Em),  che da un po piu di drammaticità al tutto, facendo restare l'atmosfera in minore. Da notare il giochino del 2-5-1 ( Dm-G7-C). Un classico turnaround per tornare in tonalità.


C
vorrei sentire
Em
sulla mia pelle
Am
il senso di
F
vertigine che hai
Stessa cosa, solamente che il tornaround non c'è. C'è infatti un bel 4 grado ( F ) che va a spingere sul quinto (G) , che da vita al bridge:


--stacco ( pre-rit)
G
entrare tra le tue idee
F
guardarmi torno e non ricredermi
G
capire che per te
Am
io valgo per quello che sono

Poi da qui succede una cosa carina: il quinto grado (G) prima tentenna verso il quarto(F), poi torna e invece di tentennare , va a buttarci sul primo grado (C) che pero' in questo caso è minore (Cm) creando una specie di caduta inaspettata moolto drammatica, che poi va a risolversi sul solito 2-5-1.


G
e non avere più paura
Cm
ed affogare dentro te
Dm                           G7                     
e poi morire e poi rinascere
(ritornello tronco )

Qui è tutto identico:

C
sms,
Em
gli sguardi tuoi..
Am
involuzione della specie
Dm G7
l'istinto che solletica

C
i tuoi capelli
Em
di leonessa
Am
e balli ed io non posso che
F
desiderare..../ di
G
entrare tra le tue idee
F
guardarmi torno e non ricredermi
G
capire che per te
Am
io valgo per quello che sono
G
e non avere più paura
Cm
ed affogare dentro te           
Dm                           G7                   
e poi morire e poi rinascere 

Arriva il ritornello: Da notare Il mi (E) dominante di la (A). Infatti invece di essere minore (Em) diventa maggiore settima (E7). Ma a me la settima non piace e quindi l'ho lasciato solo maggiore (E). Poi Come potete notare non è altro che un giro di Do. Che poi va a spingere sul 4-5. (F-G)
C   E Am Dm G7
per te..
 C   E Am--------> F G --> al bridge
con te. 

Avrei potuto optare per un bel sesto grado qui: (Am) Ma sono rimasto sul terzo. (Em) 

Em                F
e dirti che ti adoro
E                  F
e dirti che vorrei

Che poi va sul 4 e spinge di nuovo al 5 :

G
entrare tra le tue idee
F
guardarmi torno e non ricredermi
G
capire che vivro'
Am
e tu sarai al mio fianco
G
e poi decidere un perchè
F
e se tanto mi da tanto
G7
per sempre restero'
Ho deciso di non drammaticizzare ancora con un Cm, sarebbe stato del tutto inutile vista la foga in questo punto della canzone. Infatti è stato molto meglio agire sul 5 ( G ) e dargli tensione con una settima : (G7) per poi farlo finire di nuovo al RIT.


   C   E Am Dm G7
con te..
   C   E Am Dm G7
con te..
   C   E Am F  G
con te..
C
con te.
E cosi' finisce questa canzone fatta di emozioni, un'infarinatura di sentimenti, e un po di tecnica armonica :D Mi è piaciuto davvero tanto divertirmi con questi trucchetti, anche se si vede che sono alle prime armi. Che ne dite, lo avete trovato interessante?

Growing is the way. A FL STUDIO MOBILE SONG.





Gente! Che bella giornata!. No, per niente, c'è un tempo da lupi! Lol. Comunque. Ho speso 11 euro. Per cosa? Per un'applicazone per iphone. Fermi tutti. So che sono un sacco di soldi per una app, ma stiamo parlando di fruity loops. La musica tra le mani ragazzi. FL STUDIO è una DAW ( applicazione per produrre musica ) che molti considerano un giocattolo, per pc. Ma io no. Quindi dopo anni di esperienza al pc, sono passato ad integrare il tutto con la versione mobile, e fare musica a letto è impagabile :D

Ecco cosa puo' regalare FL mobile. L'unico problema è che crasha ogni due secondi. Image-line fa un po schifo a volte.

Guys! What a beautiful day. No, nothing, there is a time for wolves!Lol. Anyway. I spent 11 euros. For what? For an app for iphone. Stop all. I know that's a lot of money for an app, but we're talking about fruity loops. The music in your hands guys. FL STUDIO is a DAW (music production application) that many consider a toy, for PC. But not me. So after years of experience to the PC, I switched to integrate it with the mobile version, and make music in bed is priceless: D

Here's what can 'give you FL Mobile. The only problem is that it crashes every twoseconds. Image-Line sucks a bit sometimes lol .

SONG: L'incidente

Hi everybody, presenting today a song i made like 3 or 4 months ago with LOGIC PRO. It's called L'incidente. Wich mean "the accident". Why making a blog in english and then an entire set of songs in italian? Because it's my native language and i don't want to betray it :D and cause i can sing better in italian obviously. Writing songs is harder in this language, tough. but i do my best.

So here's the song.



  L'incidente by mangasprai

Talking about it, it was my first trial recording an electric guitar with Logic. I actually have to say that making music with logic have not been that easy. I m more confident with FL STUDIO, and logic makes easy things become harder when you don't actually know how to do them. I had fun writing the lyrics wich are a bit kind of funny, lol.

Here:


Alfredo ti sgasa   / Alfredo runs with
l’honda per strada / a Honda into the streets
come in una folle / like in a fool
gara  / Race
giacca orologio  / Jacket, watch
banca ripiena / filled bank
un luogo comune / it's a  scaring common state of mind
pauroso

accelera.. / speeds up
lui puo.. / he can
Raggiunge la.. / arrives into
città / the city

ALfredo le cozze  / Alfredo, the uglies
certo le ignora / he ignores them
rivolge lo sguardo / pose his sight
altrove / somewhere else

borsetta gucci  / gucci handbag
ingioiellata  / jeweled
ecco fatale /here's a fatal
una bionda /blonde

la punta ma.. / he saw her but
lui no.. / he .. nope.
Non vede la / he doesn't see
zebra.. / the zebra (wich refers to a crosswalk)


e cosi / so
nella frenata / while braking
cade distesa / Falls apart
la sua signora / his Woman
povera illusa / poor deluded
il suo amore /her love
la sacrificò /killed her

e cosi /so
Per una bionda /because of a blondie
Alfredo vola /Alfredo flies
con la sua donna /with her wife
povera illusa /poor deluded wife
ecco la moto /here's the motorcycle
ditevi addio. /say goodbye one another.
//Assolo

Thankyou Steve to have given us an alternative to the awfully bad policy and mind of Microsoft.

Dancing with LMFAO

Oh my god guys, while i'm thinkg at serious content to show ya :D i wanna show this. Ok you may find it old and etc. But i love it anyway.
I love this LMFAO song Party rock anthem. I guess YOU ALL know that song and may find it lame and commercial. But, what i'm focusing on, it's the dance part, the shuffle. Do you like to dance? I do. All these moves, first time you try to get in dancing, look like they re almost impossible and you re like: What the heck!?!?! I m never going to learn that. Maybe you never ever tought about dancing either. But when you start to get into it, it's like.. Another wonderful world to explore! I love drawing, i love making music, how couldn't i love to dance? Well, these dance songs are usually labeled as "SUPER-LAME" by rockers etc. But when you come across with a song like this, you do not have to hear the song. You have to feel the dance you can do with it. And it automatically becomes wonderfully perfect to dance over. So what i m talking about, it's that behind those two full-of-money-to-waste guys, there is a dance crew that is AWESOME. Look:






To move your body like that is freaking hard at start. But then, when you even learn only the base steps, it's freaking cool and music get a new dimention: the space dimension. So this "maybe stupid" song, danced like QUEST CREW can dance, it's awesome. Now that you are on SPRAI blog, and not in a -only one topic- blog like before, i feel free to talk about whatever i like and i find VERY interesting as "art".  So have you ever tried to dance something? You definitely SHOULD :D

Inspiration

Hi guys, SPRAI talking. I'm still organizing the blog in my mind. I opened it anyway to see your general reaction since the birth :) Anyway, we're talking about inspiration. Well. Don't you ever feel like you re creating a song in your mind and it's extremely rock even if you listened to techno or dance till 5 minutes before? Sometime it happens to me. So i ask myself. What is the best style? What style fits ME? That's what i find almost the hardest thing to do. Understanding what style you wanna do. I personally feel like i wanna do everything i need to do. And you?

For example, i want you to listen this:



Compared to this:



Well, these are two tracks i did, but i wont talk about them so much. There will be time for that, but. What i meant is: i find extremely funny making a rock music. And then, making a dance one. So what should i follow? Myself or the mainstream vision of music in wich every artist has his own style and that's all?

I dont know.

In this blog i don't actually know what i'm talking about. That's why i like it so much. :D
