Il Mondo in Mi settima, or in English "The World in E7" (more than six minutes in ONLY E7 chord) is a very popular song in Italy. It was composed and sung in 1966 by Adriano Celentano. It's someway an universal song, since the lyrics, written more than 50 years ago are unfortunately estremely actual today.
Lots of fun recording this one, and lots of guitars (acoustic and electric) involved. Only drums and bass are BIAB Realtracks. The brass section is a Kontakt library driven by a Godin ACS SA -> Boss GP-10 Guitar-to-MIDI
Since it's quite likely that not all of you understand Italian ::) , following here the translated lyrics:
Enjoy! :)
That's some rockin 1 chord goodness you got going on there brother.
Rock on!
Magnifico Alfredo!
1 / I did not know this song, thank you for the discovery
2 / ... and thanks for the translation
3 / very nice construction and set up on a single chord
4 / the brass section with kontakt is really good
5 / BIAB, I know and appreciate
6 / Ahh just a small technical question; How do you make "enter" a piece of 5mn30 in the SC frame of SC which is maxi 7341 KB?
PS I love Jose Feliciano , José Feliciano said himself ".that he was not a musician of pop, Latin or jazz,... but that he was just a musician ..."
One Chord Wow,
Fantastic Alfredo,
Really well done......
Alex
yeah baby! bravissimo.
Nice job! One of the most surprising fests of recent times... so much great music on only a single chord.

First of all, many thanks! :)
Well, it's rather simply, JP, if:
- you record (and/or transcode) your audio files as WAVs or AIFs.
- after that, when you have your final mixdown WAV file, "Save (it) as"...MP3 file (I use Adobe Audition, but every DAW has this basic feature).
- at this point, you may choose the kbps "resolution" of the mp3. Higher the value (160, 192, 224 kbps), higher the space needed on disk. So, practically, for a file 3 minutes long audio file I can choose without any problem even a 224 kbps resolution mp3, but with a 6 minutes long audio file I need to go down a little, say 160 or 124 kbps.
I hope it make sense to you... :D usually Sessantaquattrochitarre is the real MASTER for explaining well this kind of things ;)
Alfredo
Thanks again everybody! :)
I have to add something, about one chord songs & Adriano Celentano.
There is another "One Chord song" in his repertoire, the absolutely CRAZY "Prisencolinensinanciusol". ;D
From Wikipedia:
Prisencolinensinainciusol" [prizeŋkolinensinainˈtʃuːzol] is a song composed by Adriano Celentano, and performed by Celentano and his wife, singer/actress-turned-record producer Claudia Mori. It was released as a single in 1972, and a popular performance of the song was broadcast on RAI.
The song is meant to sound to its intended Italian audience like English spoken with an American accent, but the lyrics are actually pure gibberish, with the exception of the words "all right". Celentano's intention with the song was to explore communications barriers. "Ever since I started singing, I was very influenced by American music and everything Americans did. So at a certain point, because I like American slang—which, for a singer, is much easier to sing than Italian—I thought that I would write a song which would only have as its theme the inability to communicate. And to do this, I had to write a song where the lyrics didn't mean anything."
It's an amazing song, its rhythm and brass riff can't get off your head, and few evenings ago I noticed something in one of the episodes of the last Fargo TV series...
:D
Alfredo
Thank you Alfredo ,
I understood for the MP3 ... great! (I'm rather a bit null in computer science)
From now on, I could put the songs in full ;)
Incredible story that this song of AdrianoCelentano,... I always thought it was English !!
I remember that in the 60's with my musical group of teenagers, when we played cover of the Beatles or the Stones, as we were very null in English (and I'm still), we sang a gibberish which in French was called "yogurt " which sounded a bit like English but did not mean anything
Once, at the time, we made listen, to a song interpreted, like that, in Yogurt, to a young English friend (the song was Fox on the Run....) she found it well, like another language ;D ;D ...
PSI realized that the Romance that you interpreted so well in your topic is built as retrato brasileiro
Part 1 in Em, part 2 in E major
