Grand Funk Railroad – Sin’s a good man’s brother
I have discovered this song – probably like many other young fellows out there – at the end of the movie Law Abiding Citizen (which is a great movie, by the way) and I totally love it! I never heard of Grand Funk Railroad before but this song they made in the 70’s is very similar in style with the Led Zeppelin way of singing.
How many beautiful things are we missing?
Washington, DC Metro Station on a cold January morning in 2007. The man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately. 2 thousand people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried to meet his schedule.

Making of The Dark Side Of The Moon
Because any DJ in the world is using a sampler or a synthesizer, because new music relies heavily on loop sequences, because this album stayed on the Billboard 200 for 741 weeks (that’s 14 years !!!), because this album has, probably, the most iconic album cover in history and because it’s a worth watching documentary, I present to you the Making of The Dark Side Of The Moon

World Science Festival 2009: Notes and Neurons
It is just so incredible how we react to a given pattern. We act like machines, creating an automatism and reflexes on the fly.

Connie Francis – Siboney
This is the best Siboney I ever listened. Composed by the cuban pianist and compositor Ernesto Lecuona, Siboney is a world wide hit, played in various styles, from opera to rumba and jazz. But Connie Francis, with her powerful, amazing voice gives it’s best performance.

music from a tree
In the garden of Diego Stocco’s house there’s a tree with lots of randomly grown twigs. It looks odd and nice at the same time. One day he asked himself if he could create a piece of music with it. To tune the tree he picked a fundamental note and tuned the twigs by trimming them with a pencil sharpener. He used two Røde NT6 and a NTG-2 as microphones, combined with a customized stethoscope. He recorded the tracks live on a Pro Tools LE system. He didn’t use any synthesizer or sampler to create or modify the sounds. All the sounds come from playing the tree, by bowing the twigs, shaking the leaves, playing rhythms on the cortex and so on.
At this link you can see some pictures with more detailed descriptions: behance.net/Gallery/Music-from-a-Tree/263872
The track is also available as an high-quality download on my Bandcamp page: diegostocco.bandcamp.com/track/music-from-a-tree
