"It was one of those days. Couldn't stay in, wouldn't go out
(why is it so hot, so early, by the way?).
A few weeks ago i received a very exciting email asking
me (among other things)
to sing a specific song! I had forgotten about it completely till last week when i
happened to pass by Syntagma square. There was a street band performing
this very song with live instruments... a flautist was playing the melody.
I am referring to "Insensatez" which happens to be one of my
absolutely favourite songs! A little old fashioned you may think?
Well, more than a little i would say :)
So, when one of those days arrived,
i decided i should move
on with the song.
My recording is based on a midi file i found on the net, which
obviously sounds quite bossa nova. I like that! What i didn't like
was that for my voice to acquire this particular colour i had
to smoke a few cigarettes, the first ones for many months now.
The complete process: gathering the material, learning the song,
recording, mixing and sound engineering, took me exactly one day.
One of those days, to be precise...
Enjoy!"
