Introducing Myself, LAST "RAVAGE" OPINION, A Solo Project

This is a reflection of my soul, as I would like to be pictured. I'm all about music, this is the first and only painting I ever made, of course, I'm not a painter, I believe music doesn't really need a face, hence, looking good, looking bad, it doesn't really matter, I want to be recognised for what I do, not for my looks.

Thanks to the ability of playing a variety of musical instruments and my passion for music, I feel the constant need of playing, singing and inventing new melodies, sounds and rhymes.

During the years, I wasted too much time looking for the right people to help me create a unique project, unique music, I never found them and I never had the possibility of hiring session musicians.

I've come to the conclusion of accomplishing everything on my own. It hasn't been easy but with an audio interface, a recording software, some musical instruments, few effect pedals, an old PA system and a lot of determination, I managed to put down 10 tracks.

The internet, communities like AtomCollectorRecords and other online platforms have given me hope, optimism, the prospect of a global exposure.

"Last Ravage Opinion" was born, an anagram of my full birth name.

Here's the first track from my homonymous album:

Intro (instrumental)

This track is different from all the other tracks on the album, a sort of dark ambient feeling, especially in the beginning, where the guitar, through a modulation effect process, forms a ghostly aura which is sliced by a creepy low frequency bass line. In the second part of the track a clashing gated drum breaks in and a gradual low frequency guitar part replaces the bass line, a simple keyboard melody enters and accompanies the tune till the end.

Every single song of the album has a different feel, I like many genres of music. The first half of the album is heavier than the second. I produced each and every song without following any standard structure or rules, none of the song could be in the pop charts, at least, not in the contemporary ones.

Voices, guitars, basses have been all played and recorded live, even the few parts of keyboards, violin and cello were played by me, although it has been very challenging since I don't play these latter regularly. The only instrument that I made electronically has been the drums but not from samples, I wrote all the drum patterns note by note.
