Life can seems like a simple road, but its not when you think about it. There might not be anyone who has had to fight for life in the ocean or water, but it has happend to me and two of my buddies. We were looking at Jonsvannet an autumn with quite a windy day, this is a large and deep ocean so it was pretty big waves. The canoe sank and we were far from land. There we were three strong men in our prime, and shouted for help. We realized that here we were alone and no one heard us, but we helped each other and saved our lives of theat reason.But one do not live today, the best friend one can have, he never said anything bad about others, and stood up for you as soon as someone stepped on you ... He always helped a friend in need, but had even lost to cancer like so many others.

This simple track is dedicated to him..... Ps..I worked hard with the classic guitars to get the right sound 

Peace my friends

Music has always been part of my life. I started making music as a hobby for a couple of years ago. I work in an aluminum production plant, hard work but I'm not complaining.

Cheers Music friends :-)

Hi DJ:

That is why no one should take life for granted -- not for one second.  I have been through some very scary situations during my life, and know, all too well, the fragility and uncertainty of this life.  May your good friend Rest In Peace.

This is an amazing track; full of emotional sincerity.  The guitar sounds, you have so carefully arranged, are quite poignant and really set the overall mood very effectively.  Also, the horns and vocals chime in just at the right moments.

Definitely one of your best and most heartfelt compositions to date my friend.

Jo Bro Roar, life consists of laughter and tears, life and death, gain and lose ... but everything can be endured by the love and kindness - even I have so many friends and relatives lost ...
Your song is interesting because it represents a live and dead than another.
Your sound is very good - even the guitar.
Nicely done roar and think it your friend might also like ... wherever his soul also is now ... I wish that too some a song dedicated to me when I have to go a minute ... I like your song very much .. . greetings in peace and keepsakes at our friends - Andi

PINO D'ISOLA Pino d'Isola (al secolo Pino Maiolo) nasce artisticamente negli anni '60 ad Isola Capo Rizzuto (KR), suo paese natio. E' il cantante e il batterista del suo primo gruppo "THE LOVERS"con la sua chitarra già scrive e compone le sue prime canzoni come "Sabrina", "Ritorna l'estate", "Non lasciarmi" ed altre. Trasferitosi a Milano, nel '66 entra a far parte del gruppo "I MAD BOYS"
Nel '82 esce il suo primo LP dal titolo"UNA SERATA SERENA" Edizioni LA PALMIERAMA di Milano
Pino incontra Giuliano Taddei (autorevolissimo autore di testi per Sanremo, Castrocaro, Zecchino D'Oro) con il quale nasce un sodalizio musicale eterno e molto produttivo: dal singolo DONNA AMORE
"DONNA AMORE" del 1983 (che riceve il premio da "La lega delle casalinghe"), passando per la produzione di diversi successi, fino ad arrivare alla scrittura di numerose canzoni per bambini. In questi anni sono frequenti le sue apparizioni come ospite su radio e TV locali. La sua popolarità cresce così come il suo impegno come cantante in giro con I FOLK 2000. "SENTIMENTO D'AMORE"
Nel 1987 esce l'album " LA MIA MUSICA con un pò di bon...gusto" Edizioni CARAMBA di Milano Come hanno riportato giornali e settimanali del settore, Fred Bongusto così come Bruno Martino sono sempre stati per Pino D'Isola dei punti di riferimento poiché molto vicini al suo modo di cantare "confidenziale". Da questo momento in poi sono sempre più frequenti le apparizioni di Rino accanto a Pino: la presenza del figlio nei suoi spettacoli gli permette, infatti, di interpretare al meglio i suoi brani fondendoli con le nuove tendenze musicali.
La grande occasione arriva per Pino nel 1990 quando ha l'opportunità di pubblicare un suo disco con la prestigiosa Casa Discografica "Fonit Cetra". Il titolo del disco è "CIAO":
PINO D'ISOLA & RINO Il 21 Aprile 1990 può essere considerata la data di nascita del duo musicale, riceve un significativo premio dall'Assessorato al Turismo e Cultura del comune di Isola di Capo Rizzuto. Il premio, intitolato "OMAGGIO A UN CALABRESE ILLUSTRE"
cita: " A CHI CON IMPEGNO E PROFESSIONALITA???HA RAGGIUNTO AMBITI RISULTATI, PORTANDO OLTRE I CONFINI DELLA CALABRIA, IL MESSAGGIO E LA CULTURA DELLA NOSTRA TERRA ???. Nel 1997 Pino riceve dal comune di Milano una medaglia per la sua canzone "TRAMMINANDO PER MILAN", originale dedica alla città che lo ha adottato.
Come autore Pino continua a scrivere canzoni incontrando nuovi personaggi in particolare: uno a livello internazionale, Carlo Alberto Rossi,
E....la musica va..................grazie a tutti Pino

Meine musikalische Biographie:

Mit 16 meinen ersten E-Bass gekauft. Bei der Amateur-Rockband Band „Empire“ eingestiegen. (Stil: Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple etc.) Im gleichen Jahr als DJ in einer Teenie-Disco im Nachbardorf (ziemlich erfolgreich) Platten aufgelegt. Mit 18 von einer Disco als Haupt-DJ angestellt worden. Währenddessen in verschiedenen Rockbands den Bass gezupft.
Mit 25 Tanzmucker Bassist.
Junge Nachwuchstalente unter dem Bandnamen „Sprity un sien Lüüd“ gefördert.
Mit 30 als Profi DJ in der ganzen BRD herumgetingelt. In Flensburg eine Deutschrock-Teenband (Limit) gefördert. (Keyboarder – Wolf Kerschek -13 J. / Schlagzeuger Ben Brost -13 J. / Bassist Stephan Hamann -15 J. / Sologitarrist Michael Hamann -17 J. / Sänger 16 J.) Stil: ausgefeilte Rockmusik im Stil von SAGA und TOTO! Die Berliner Band SPLIFF (carbonara / Deja Vu) lud uns in ihr Tonstudio ein. (Wegen Widerstand einiger Elternpaare kam es aber nie dazu). 80% der Titel waren meine eigenen Kompositionen und Texte.
Zwei professionelle Tonstudios für Aufnahmen besucht. Eines in Flensburg (Titel des Songs "Frage der Zeit" von Wolf Kerschek) und danach ein professionelles in Hamburg (Schacht Musikverlage) unter Mithilfe der plattdeutschen Profi-Band „Godewind“ . Titel des Songs "Oh Nordstrand"
Kurz vor einem möglichen Plattenvertrag löste sich die Band auf Druck einiger Elternpaare auf.
Letzter Versuch mit der Nachwuchsband „Canada“. Selbst Bass gespielt. Mit der Sängerin Silke Matzen (Klavier) einen dänischen Nachwuchswettbewerb in den Idreatshallen in Flensburg gewonnen. Gefilmt vom dänischen Fernsehen.  Danach löste sich die Band allerdings wegen Stilfragen in Sachen Musik wieder auf.

Nach mehreren Bandmitglieder Wechseln in der River Dance Band (Spezialität: dreifache Satzgesänge im Stile von den Bee Gees) löste sich die Gruppe nach mehr als 7 Jahren Aktivität  in Freundschaft auf. Heute noch Kontakt zum Co-Manager und Schlagzeuger der Band Jan Johannsen.

In dieser Zeit lernte ich folgende Profis im Musik-Business persönlich kennen: Schlagersängerin (und Tontechniker-Meisterin) Hanne Haller †, Ingrid Peters, Carlo von Tiedemann,  Knud Kiesewetter, Steffi Stephan (Bassist im Panik-Orchester von Udo Lindenberg) Herwig Mitteregger (Spliff) und andere mehr. Besonders von Hanne Haller habe ich eine Menge über Tontechnik und Mixen gelernt.                                                                                                                                                              

Danach noch kurze Gastauftritte als Bassist in anderen Tanz-Kapellen.
Schließlich Auswanderung nach Lateinamerika                        .
Hier die MMM Originalsoftware von Magix gekauft und mein eigenes Plattenlabel „ POTZBLIZZ-RECORDS“ über DITTO Music (GB) gegründet.  Mittlerweile über 40 eigene Songs komponiert und eingespielt.
Basis-Prinzip der Songs: Melodische Popmusik im Stil der 70er- 80er Jahre und mit Ohrwurm-Qualitäten.  
Ich bin jetzt 58 Jahre alt und versuche so perfekt zu sein, wie es geht, insbesondere was Musiktitel anbelangt. Mittelmäßigkeit war für mich persönlich noch nie ein Ziel. Spaß an der Musik beginnt  bei mir, wenn ich das Gefühl habe, dass das Beste gegeben zu haben. Besonders beim Gesang bin ich sehr kritisch aber auch selbstkritisch. Daher singe ich auch nur sehr selten bei meinen Eigenkompositionen.
Ein guter Song ist für mich ein Musikstück das ins Ohr geht und dessen Melodie bei mir im Kopf bleibt. Am besten mit einem guten Refrain.
Ich liebe KONSTRUKTIVE Kritik, wenn sie mich weiterbringt und versuche, dass meine Kritik an anderen Künstlern ähnlich dienlich sind, ohne denen dabei den Spaß an der Musik zu nehmen. Manchmal bin ich dabei zu direkt und verletze ungewollt den Stolz des Kritisierten. Das ist aber grundsätzlich nicht meine Absicht.

Abstoßend finde ich Personen, die aufgrund meines hier veröffentlichen Profils meinen, ein psychatrisches "Gutachten" erstellen zu müssen.
Ich habe in meinem Leben viel Kritik an meinen Songs einstecken müssen und glaube, dass es mich auf meinem musikalischen Weg weitergebracht hat.

Meine Meinung zu Eigenkompositionen:

Es spielt ÜBERHAUPT KEINE ROLLE ob ein Song aus MMM samples "zusammengeschoben" oder per Midi eingespielt oder per Mikrofon aufgenommen wurde. Hauptsache ist, das Resultat ist ein GUTER SONG! Nur weil es per MIDI umständlicher und schwieriger ist, einen Song einzuspielen, bedeutet es noch lange nicht, dass dadurch ein mittelmäßiger Song besser wird.

Ich war in mehreren Tonstudios und dort zählt nur Eines: PERFEKTION! - Wenn ein Drummer nicht metronomgenau den Titel spielt, wird er oft genug durch eine digitale Drum-Maschine ersetzt. Die Kosten für ein Profi-Tonstudio sind heutzutage so dermaßen hoch, dass in den meisten Fällen keine Zeit bleibt, um auf mittelmäßige Musiker Rücksicht zu nehmen. Programme wie MMM 2013 oder Samplitude werden auch in großen Tonstudios durchaus zur Hilfe genommen. Auch dort werden nämlich "Samples geschoben".

Niemals habe ich hier behauptet, dass meine Ansichten zur Musik von jedermann in diesem Forum geteilt werden müssen!!

I know nothing about music. Only listened .. Using technology also makes possible for me to be able to make music.

  I am also into photography amateur.

I'm not here for stars score but coment with advice for improvement of my music.


at my coment on music of others, I remain honest. this must be mutual .

I give my voice just as public and not as someone who knows something from music.

 I'm open to all criticism. I want to learn something

What a story.  I cannot imagine being in that situation.

You did a great job with the classical guitar ( which is my fav instrument after the piano).  Very nice, mellow song which emotes much feeling as I am sure was your goal.


Lovely track

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

 I get it and understand it.

You have translated a lot of emotion into music with this song. Exceptional arrangement and instrumentation. I am a big fan of you music, every new song raises the bar a little higher and this is no exception.

I am sorry for your loss, your tribute to a lost friend is simply beautiful.

Great work. Who's that beautiful voice? I had to listen to that piece for a second time. The guitar sounds very good. I would have have bet you'd played it by yourself. Most varying and interesting. Only one small part around 03:10 that was too difficult for my ears to sound really smooth :-)
