Paolo Sala - Dirty Boy (Cardiacs orchestral cover)

Вставка
  • Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
  • Written by Tim Smith.
    Orchestral rendering arranged and programmed by Paolo Sala; no real orchestra was involved in this project (so far).
    Original version available on the album Sing To God by Cardiacs.
    The picture of this video was created by DALL-E-2 AI system by following the plain and simple instruction: "dirty boy".
    No copyright infringement intended, just another tribute to Timmy's genius.
    Although the instrumental version seems to work fine to me, I also was fantasising about making a version with vocals in it. The plan might be to make a montage of several takes from various singing Pondies all around the world, and to simulate a sort of theatrical performance. If you like the idea, please get in touch with me and let's see what we can do.

    I really like the subtle way the sustained note at the end is done. The original song hits its coda with everything it's got, the entire universe and the kitchen sink, while this rendition starts with very quiet dynamics and then slowly layers on more and more elements. It gives the effect of watching a universe being born. Considering the original song's climax is (probably) about literal sexual climax, it's an interesting juxtaposition. Bravissimo.

    This is quite amazing considering the complexity of the original recording. You should pursue adding vocals on to this track if possible with multiple singers taking their own phrase/passage (10 singers ? why not) where they join together by way of a crescendo at the finale, together! Worth a thought?
