Artist: Ayreon
Album: Come Back to Me (single)
Music and lyrics by Arjen Lucassen and Heather Findlay

For this cover, I played mandolin/mandola, acoustic guitar, bass, keyboards, and percussion (cajón, shaker, mini djembe, and crash cymbal). I also did the vocals, of course. I believe this is my first recording, excluding videos, in which there are no midi sounds at all. Everything is actually played by me and recorded with the same microphone, so it was an interesting challenge to get it all synchronized and adequately mixed. Still, you will be able to hear many imperfections.

Thanks in advance for listening and sharing honest opinions. Now enjoy August while it lasts. Best wishes, and God bless.

Hi Travis:

Beautifully played guitar.  Love the clean and lively sound.  I've always been a big fan of this genre.

Sandro Glavina is an italian composer, named L'Uomo e L'Ombra. The choice of the name derives from the title of the album "L'uomo e l'ombra" of the band "Abstract Music Nuova Esistenza", an experimental group founded by Sandro Glavina together with his friends in the mid-70s.

In the period 2009-2022, L'Uomo e L'Ombra has done 84 albums. The compositions of Sandro Glavina are partly influenced by progressive rock. Sandro has developed a personal style with many experimentations and actualizations. He offers music beyond borders by intertwining different styles in crossover with each other. Prog, psychedelia, classical, post-rock, jazz, pop are some of the influences that dissolve in ambient atmospheres, citations of contemporary music and minimalist nuances. Sandro Glavina aka L'Uomo e L'Ombra plays the music using VSTI synthesizers, keyboards and adds some loops. Sandro isn't a professional musician, composes and plays music just for fun, but his works reach a good outcome, pleasant to listen. L'UOMO E L'OMBRA

Hi Travis:

Yes, indeed!  Quite a feat (in spite of the "imperfections" you reference).  And yes, it ain't easy putting all these instruments (and your vocals) together through one mic and making the whole piece listenable.  There is so much that can go wrong.

Nonetheless, well done.
