Essence of a project
Where do you start to find the roots of a project?
How do you understand what happens before or after?
Well…the essence of this project is the life itself,the events,the people and the energy,those things that seems to be only a coincidence,events that seems to be disconnected.
Suddenly,everything becomes clear,all the black points are put together by the lines of life to form an https://www.tradebit.com this case,the imagine of this cd.
I met a friend during a party and I remember I didn’t want to go there,a person who believes in me and I’m very grateful:Roberto Tassi.
And there is me,only at the end because you always begin from the spirit,from the energy you put in your things,the emphaty you generate with people.
At the end there is me with my guitar,with my random project of solo guitar born like a game in my daily “work in progress”.
It became a really professional project and I feel so proud.
I didn’t think at the moment to record a solo guitar cd,simply because I didn’t feel https://www.tradebit.com it’s life,when things happens you just live them,when you are playing a song you have to finish it,the train doesn’t stop.
So here we are telling about this story,telling about the essence of this project,talking about this wonderful experience.
I believe everything started writing my original songs,I guess it’s the key before my style and my approach on the guitar.
Dedications and inspirations
I recorded only few of my originals because I wanted to face some classical songs of jazz,a medlay of Duke Ellington’s ballads,an homage to Estate,an amazing Bruno Martino’s song actually known as an Italian jazz standard.I played others…
If I used a sport language I would say that my music born and dies with my original music,because it’s me tere,there is everything of me.
Lidia is a ballad dedicated to my grandmother,a person I missed a lot who I loved so much.I remember I cried many times playing that song.
Universi lontani it’s a way to say that people can be really close even tough they are so distant,even if there is an ocean between them,even tough it seems https://www.tradebit.com sometimes we are limited and we built a wall between each https://www.tradebit.cometimes life runs away and we choose to renounce and even a love can finish.
Requiem per un sogno is a story of a love,a story of a https://www.tradebit.comre is pain there but also hope,sometimes bad things may revelate good things.
Una lunga conversazione is a song that I love a https://www.tradebit.com tells a story of a conversation but I never said which one.I like the idea of the interpretation,everybody can develop is own conversation,everybody has in own story and it sounds really nice.
Finally,Blues for Monk is dedicated to one of my favourite pianist and composers.
I strongly believe that everything comes out from the energy,that’s why I can write only if something special happens.
Composing a song
Many people asked me how to compose a song,if I use to write the melody and then the harmony or the chords before the sinlge notes.
The truth is that I have no idea!
Maybe I have a https://www.tradebit.com I can say is that I love the melody because it express what we have inside,the melody is the spirit living through the music.
So,when I write I look for a nice melody,something I can sing and that remains in my mind,something I can remember when I wake up.
Concerning the harmony,I imagine to be influenced by the music I’m listening that period.
At the end there is no secret!
The style
I decided to talk about my style only finishing this small journal because even if it’s particular,maybe unique,I consider experiences and human energies more important and special.
Yes..I worked a lot on my style!
I would like to thank Sid Jacobs who introduced me to this style we call guitar/piano.
He influenced me a lot inspiring me and being a teacher,a friend and finally a musician I worked with.
Thanks to Jimmy Wyble for opening my eyes about counterpoint,for sharing his wonderful friendship being an angel.
Also Joe Diorio for his spiritual sense of https://www.tradebit.comic is never only music!
Being in touch with this guys allowed me to absorb and to learn,sometimes to steal always remaining myself.
You can play Sid’s chords,Jimmy’s counterpoint or Joe’s lines but it is always Simone Gubbiotti playing,you have your own identity and this is the lesson.
So,the arrangements I played in this record are completely under my responsibility even tough influenced by those incredible artists.
The recording
I recorded December 21 and 22,2007 between a bottle of wine and a delicious lunch.
The real problem of the session was the essence of the project https://www.tradebit.com be only a guitar was so easy but complex at the same time because it was pratically impossible to fix the track when I had a mistake and we had to start again from the beginning.
Some song,especially the second day,was played directly the first time with no https://www.tradebit.come ending have been improvised during the recording or changed while playing and we decided to keep some little mistake that sounded more real.
Obvously,I will never say which track!
I’m so happy about the product and the sound.
I’m so glad about the relaxing atmosphere,the respect and the friendship that we lived every single moment of the recording session.
