Administrators sam_webmaster Posted July 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted July 19, 2022 For those who may be interested.... I've recently started publishing some old instrumental demos from the mid-1990s. A couple of tracks are now up and will be adding the rest of the "album" soon. https://fanlink.to/hHbK YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLm00i_oPwN8X9WHHiNoTiQ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/62KXkJwmLlmmeJnuEIqllr Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/sam-rapallo/1634081875 samrapallo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the tuning on the acoustic(s)? And the bass is thumping! Great job my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall exactly, I'd have to play around with it again. My bass player was away so I did that part too. Tuned down the 4-string on the bass to D. Just me and a drummer, a couple of acoustic overdubs, bass, with a bit of phase/flang effect. I had just recently seen JPJ with Diamanda Galas on tour which inspired this track.

SteveAJones Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 sam_webmaster truly is an enigma. Despite 20+ years of online interaction I don't feel as if I know him any better now than when it first began. Of course I do know he does own a few guitars so I should not be so surprised he has released some of his demos, but I am. It's out of character for him to be so self-revealing, but I appreciate it.

John M Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Sam great stuff here. On my first spin through I would say my favorite so far is "Tomorrow". Must be the Zeppelin vibe! I am also really struck by Chunk and Groove. So cool. Thanks for sharing these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
