Demetrio «Dimitry» Scopelliti - «Last Night Fire» 6th track from «The Art of Complications» ( Randall Rh20, Legator Ninja )
This video is a live performance playing a Legator Ninja 8 string guitar through a Randall Rd20h, I also used a bunch of Hotone pedals, soulpress, grass, ravo & xtomp.
Here is my demo of this little awesome piece of gear. The RAVO by Hotone. Recorded directly on my interface, no amp, no DI box either. I am using a twin emulation on the clean and a 5150 EVH as distorted and lead. On the lead I added an emulation of a tube screamer in the preamp section.
Thanks to: Hotone, Dosio Music - Italy, Jobbe 3.14 for Studio A availability, Legator Guitars.
First Video from Frankfurt Musikmesse: Dimitry playing «Last Night Fire», taken from the latest album: «The Art of Complications», at Frankfurt Musikmesse, Hotone Audio booth.
About the Album
This 10-track instrumental prog metal opus represents three years of intensive creative work and marks my most complete musical statement to date. Every instrument has been performed and produced by myself, with guest appearances by Jay Parmar on "Pulse" and "Magnolia Ave" (solos 2 and 4). The stunning cover artwork is created by Mark Bridgeman.
The Title's Meaning
The title completes a full circle that began with my first EP "Evolution" in 2008 - this album represents the final chapter of that 17-year artistic journey. Beyond personal evolution, the title also addresses contemporary social themes: the unnecessary and potentially risky overuse of AI, cyber media, and information overload in our modern world.
First Single: "Undercurrent"
The album opens with "Undercurrent", a powerful metaphor for events unfolding in the shadow of seemingly larger occurrences. Written in 2020, the song reflects on significant historical events of our current century.
