Update number 3 on the progress of Atish Bezanesh (Bailatela)- End of July 2010

Image
Update number 3 on the progress of Atish Bezanesh (Bailatela)- End of July 2010 I post an update note here whenever there is some progress or delay with my first Farsi song, recording and release: آتیش بزنش (Bailatela). Previous updates can be read in: previous post 1 and Previous post 2 . Today I recorded final versions of electric guitar on the recording. It was a headache, because one thing is to play guitar live, another thing is to do it for a studio recording. This is because in a studio recording your fingers cannot touch any other string as it must sound clean. This is something I had not thought of before. It will not be until end of October 2010 before the recording becomes available. Here is the past and future scheduled work for the project: Things done in the past: - Decided the key to use for the song and the chord progressions. - Gathered some material for the lyrics - Wrote the song (End of May 2010) - wrote solo electric guitar arrangement - Quick raw demo - Track...

Quick stop in FARO Portugal

Image
Quick stop in FARO Portugal On my way back from Sweden to Spain, I made a connection flight thru FARO, Portugal. Because there was enough time between flights and the airport is only 7KM from the city, I went for a 4 hour visit of the old town of FARO. It looks like Algarve is the poorest region of Portugal. Faro does have a historical section, and it is interesting if you are already in the region. But it is too small and has too few old historical streets and buildings to justify a trip down there just for that. For the most part it is a collection of ugly out-of-place apartment buildings for British people looking for a vacation place consisiting only of sun and beaches that is cheap and not much more. So, I would say, it was semi-dissapointing

I am in Stockholm for the weekend

I am in Stockholm for the weekend Just arrived in Stockholm Sweden to spend the weekend. It is 10 pm. Actually I am positively surprised. It looks much more fun and interesting than I could have imagined. The historic section is quite large and there are lots of people in the streets and the place has lots of character. There are people in the streets until 2 AM and it is warm in summer. It has a large promenade and many walking sections along the waterfront. There is metro, though it is expensive at around 3 Euros a ride. Surprisingly, there are also poor homeless people in the street. Namely one guy in a wheelchair was singing Morrissey songs to an instrumental tape. The airport for the cheap airlines is Skavsta and its a little air strip, probably some military airport and it is 1 hour 30 minutes away!! The bus ride was more expensive than the flight! At one of the bars I noticed this tiny room full of people. From far it looked like a sauna room. I finally asked and it tur...

World Cup Trophy Parade July 12 2010 Madrid Spain My photos and video

World Cup Trophy Parade July 12 2010 Madrid Spain My photos and video I went to see the truck with the players of Spain holding the World Cup trophy. Here are the pictures and video I took. Dario M: By the time the Champions truck reached the corner of San Bernardo and Gran Via it was 9:15 pm. I doubt the truck can reach the final stage before 11 PM Dario: The World Cup passed 10 feet in front of me. It is shiny. Dario: Iniesta and Torres look like little kids. Iker looked really tired and there were girls chasing the truck calling his name! It was funny. The extra goal keeper and Pique where the ones partying the most and playing with the crowd. Video:

Spain Finalist of WoldCup 2010

Image
Spain Finalist of WoldCup 2010 World Cup is going on these days. Octopus Paul has predicted that Spain will be the World Cup winner and everybody is going crazy with him. Until few weeks ago I was skeptical of seeing Spain ever win the World Cup in my lifetime. I've followed them in 9 world cups. In the German World Cup I even attended one of the matches live. This year it looked more of the same, with Spain having really annoying sports media and even more annoying TV commentators. They started loosing and then they couldn't play well after that either. They won their last match of the first round thanks to the mistakes of the rival team Chile whose goal keeper was at fault for Spain's first goal. Chile made also the mistake of playing violently resulting in a red card early in the match. After that it was easy for Spain. Portugal the team Spain met in the next round was not a very good team with the exception of their hunky goalkeeper! With Paraguay, Spain can give t...

Progress on Atish Bezanesh ( Un Baile Mas) project July 2010

Image
As mentioned in a previous post , I am working on my first Farsi language song and recording, which is called: آتیش بزنش (Un Baile Más). The song which has already been written has the verses sung in Spanish while the chorus (owj) is in Farsi. This past weeks my laptop caught a virus and I had to reformat it and as a consequence I had to rebuild my studio all over again, causing a delay in the project, which now is due in October 2010. I have now renewed work on it. After the initial demo-ing which includes a real electric guitar solo, I am now working on the definitive recording. All going very slowly. The image above is of my soar fingers after I played bass guitar on the track. The bass line is not finished as the song has many parts. One thing for sure I've learned is that you have to write down absolutely everything as memory plays tricks on us. As you see the recording will have real instruments unlike these cheap recordings others do these days which are made only with ke...
