I just came back from Wolfsburg where I completed the first part of the new album's production and I can guarantee you that this is a very bad moment for me.
In those 2 weeks I reached the heavens and now I am back to earth again :-)
You can not imagine the sufference an artist can feel knowing that some songs he's proud of are there, backed up in some hard disks, and that won't see the light before some more months. Already now I would have liked to share with all of you those magic vibes and sensations that are starting filling this second album and that make me so excited and happy to have created the band DREAMQUEST.
The main reason for all this excitement is connected once again to the great performance of the musicians playing on this second album.
Especially the one of our incredible singer, the voice of the raging angels, known as MYST. I can not tell you all the emotions lived in those two weeks. My compositons became suddenly alive thanks to her wonderful and extreme talent. This person, that you will learn to know very soon, is really a special person. I was there, in front of the console, explaining her the feeling to be used singing the lyric of this or that song. And she, magically, a couple of minutes later was able to make us cry if singing a sad song or excite if screaming a wild fast song. I worked with many great artists already but the shivers all over my skin after a vocal recording, that's something else.
Another planet of artistical enthusiasm. So once again, thank you, MYST, thank you for your great and emotional work.
Production update: the drums are recorded, the vocals too. Right now I am in France to record the guitar solos of DOMINIQUE LEURQUIN, the guitar hero of DREAMQUEST that on this album is able to pass from slow melancholic solos to fast wild shredding with surprising easiness and ability.
Later I'll go back to Italy to complete some additional electronic and orchestral arrangements in my private studio and in december my friend Sascha Paeth should receive everything from me in order to start the mix of this second album, once again produced by me and co-produced by him.
