Ornella Vanoni

 

It is strange, I listen to Ornella Vanoni today for the 1st time (a few days after she passed away) on the Hellenic Radio broadcast by Yiannis Petridis. Together with Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin for example, Yiannis Petridis would listen to the best Italian music or almost any other good music. Today's 4pm-5pm broadcast was on Ornella Vanoni.

We are fortunate in Hellenic Republic to have such a music and cinema knowledgeable radio producer.

 

Here is the link of today's broadcast on Ornella Vanoni:

This can be done by disabling the erase head. For example disconnecting it.

Then it works like painting. Sound and be added on previously recorded sound. Some loss is only apparent on the first 2 or 3 passes for each layer. But it still remains original, there is no copy or overdub.

How do we monitor the music already recorded so that we can add more?

A way can be to use the (unused) erase head as a playback head. It has a wider airgap so there would be some treble loss in playback. A separate equalized preamplifier must be connected to it. And a small time delay should be added as the erase head is read first (it predicts the future, or more correctly the rec head lives in the past) as the tape will first pass through the erase head and then through the rec head.

 

Ophelia - Taylor Swift and the Bach Bass Code

 

The Bach Bass Code:

General Bass Rules - Norman Schmidt -pdf

The bass of the verse is G then D then F then C and repeat.

The melody is D G G C bB        bass G

                        (bB) G G C C bB      bass D

                        (bB) G G C bB    bass F

                         A G G       bass C

It follows that the intervals which sound fantastic are non trivial, sophisticated.

Bass D with bB  ie the interval of major 6th, code D6

Bass F with G ie the interval of major 9th, code F9

Bass C with A ie the interval of major 6th, code C6

It is a blessing that listener's throughout the world appreciate this.

After all it what we feel when we listen.
