<b>Intro. L.A. 2019</b><br />
<br />
Look into my eyes<br />
<br />
And you will see<br />
<br />
A paradigm<br />
<br />
Between you and me<br />
A sign<br />
<br />
Traveling through space and time<br />
<br />
A distant mirror<br />
Fiery beasts of prey lurks waiting<br />
<br />
To devour<br />
<br />
Taunts as it awaits<br />
<br />
The final hour<br />
<br />
Look into my eyes<br />
<br />
And you will see<br />
<br />
This come to life<br />
<br />
Before your eyes<br />

Lyrics:<br />
<br />
<b>"House of the Rising Dolls"</b><br />
<br />
You don’t belong here<br />
<br />
Go on and leave us<br />
<br />
You don’t really want to come too near<br />
<br />
I’ll make myself clear<br />
<br />
Don’t want you near us<br />
<br />
Turn around and close the door. Just disappear<br />
<br />
We’re all the same here<br />
<br />
Here in my doll house<br />
<br />
From underneath this veil I peer<br />
<br />
We don’t want you here<br />
<br />
Think you’re audacious<br />
<br />
But you’re so close now that I can sense your fear<br />
<br />
<br />
~Bridge~<br />
<br />
Beneath this vale of tears<br />
<br />
So close that I can smell your fear<br />
<br />
<br />
~Chorus~<br />
<br />
Fight to the death<br />
<br />
This your last breath<br />
<br />
Feel your last heartbeat<br />
<br />
You’ll be down on your knees<br />
<br />
Praying that death<br />
<br />
Could not come too soon<br />
<br />
Flight to the death<br />
<br />
Is this my last breath<br />
<br />
I feel my last heartbeat<br />
<br />
Silence my scream<br />
<br />
Praying that death<br />
<br />
Could not come too soon<br />
<br />

Lyrics:<br />
<br />
"Perfect"<br />
<br />
<br />
Just look at them!<br />
<br />
They’re so perfect<br />
<br />
I just can’t believe my eyes<br />
<br />
Funny... I hardly know them<br />
<br />
But I suspect<br />
<br />
There’s more to them than meets the eye<br />
<br />
<br />
{Spoken}<br />
<br />
Look at how inquisitive they are.<br />
<br />
Gallant.<br />
<br />
I've yet to see a flaw.<br />
<br />
More human than human.<br />
<br />
Wait!<br />
<br />
Could they be... ?<br />
<br />
<br />
I just knew it!<br />
<br />
They’re so perfect<br />
<br />
They sure take my breath away<br />
<br />
I must admit<br />
<br />
I do suspect<br />
<br />
They’re here for more than they claim<br />
<br />
~ Chorus~<br />
<br />
I wanted to make them<br />
<br />
Everything that I would have wanted to be<br />
<br />
But, I have no voice<br />
<br />
<br />
They want me to take them<br />
<br />
To meet with their Maker, exclusively<br />
<br />
Do I have a choice?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

And it was that little inspiration that moved me to revisit the archives. <div><br /></div><div>I found that there were more beautiful songs in this collection that had not yet seen the light of day. They were heard only by a very select few. They lay at rest in envelopes, cases and hard-drives -- awaiting their turn in the studio to be doctored and mixed. There are those few songs that will have to wait for their resurrection. But, I did find that there were some that I felt could be heard and still appreciated now. </div><div><br /></div><div>This, in turn, had led me to revisit the websites. And I thought it time they were revamped. So, now there is a new MEMORIA website. The Facebook page has also been updated.</div><div><br /></div><div>I am also putting together a video clip. It'll show the scene from <i>Blade Runner</i> where Roy confronts Deckard at J.F. Sebastian's apartment. Instead of the movie soundtrack, it'll feature the song <i>Thrive</i>. Besides featuring this unheard gem from the archives, the viewer will be able to experience the scene as presented through our music and lyrics.</div><div><br /></div><div>I still do hope to one day assemble the entire collection -- have them polished up and mixed -- and release them properly. Until then, you may listen to the selected songs featured on the website.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thrive!</div><div><br /></div><div>~ Craig</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://bladerunnerrock.com/"><b>MEMORIA ~ Blade Runner: The Rock Project</b></a></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/BladeRunnerRock">MEMORIA on Facebook</a> </b></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">MEMORIA blog</div>MEMORIA ~ Blade Runner Rockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10341253423873293235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147270553607946336.post-70551555574327597992011-11-21T19:23:00.000-05:002011-11-21T19:24:26.009-05:00New Website Coming Soon!New updated website coming soon!<div class="blogger-post-footer">MEMORIA blog</div>MEMORIA ~ Blade Runner Rockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10341253423873293235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147270553607946336.post-81362729443666665202011-11-21T13:50:00.000-05:002011-11-21T14:00:51.956-05:00Two songs retrieved from the archives<div><i>The Last Breakfast</i> is inspired by the scene in the movie <i>Blade Runner</i> where Pris is at J.F.

J.F., her <i>Savior</i>, will lead her friend Roy to their <i>Creator</i> -- Tyrell. The battle is on.

This, of course, has created quite a stir amongst fans of the film. </div><div><br /></div><div>Alcon’s franchise rights would be all-inclusive, but exclude rights to remake the original. The Company, however, may produce projects based on situations introduced in the original film. The project would be distributed domestically by <i>Warner Bros.

This is a major acquisition for our company, and a personal favorite film for both of us. We recognize the responsibility we have to do justice to the memory of the original with any prequel or sequel we produce. We have long-term goals for the franchise, and are exploring multi-platform concepts, not just limiting ourselves to one medium only.”</div><div><br /></div><div>This offers a unique and limitless opportunity to explore the many possibilities for collaborations -- officially and legally -- between Alcon Entertainment and the many artists that have been inspired by this film.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <i>The intersection of stage and film — the future of entertainment?</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div><br /></div><div>In an <a href="http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100910/TEMPO/9100301/-1/NEWSMAP">article</a> written by Chris Conrad of the Mail Tribune, he writes how the film-to-stage experiment intrigues him. He mentioned a few movies that critics already consider "stagey", and then threw in his own picks. Among his picks was <i>Blade Runner</i>.</div><div><br /></div><div>The columnist wrote, “My heart would swell and burst if some intrepid director could bring Blade Runner to the stage.” He’s certainly passionate about his conviction with wanting this "science-fiction stage show".</div><div><br /></div><div>And, I must say–personally–I think it would be an awesome endeavour. If done cleverly, it could very well be the next best thing. Of course, there will be those against such an idea, just as there are those against a re-make, sequel or prequel. But, this would be different.</div><div><br /></div><div>I was fortunate enough to be involved in a project that came close to the idea of bringing Blade Runner to the stage. I wrote lyrics to the splendidly crafted music of Marco Spatuzzi. And it was performed live, along side the movie Blade Runner, in a production titled <i>Blade Runner: The Rock Project</i>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Looking at some of the movies or television programs that have been adapted to musicals on Broadway might give you an idea of the possible success such a venture could have. Just to name a few; <i>Little Shop of Horrors</i>, <i>The Producers</i> and <i>The Addams Family</i>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Is it the future of entertainment? For live entertainment, it certainly can be.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>All the stage is an Off-world</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div><br /></div><div>In the <i>BR-Rock Project</i>, we presented a new way of viewing the neo-noir film <i>Blade Ru</i><i>nner</i>. The idea was to translate, in music and in words, the over-industrialized; multi-ethnic; dehumanized; polluted environment; depiction of a dystopian future, with focus on the storyline, and the character's relationships and feelings.</div><div><br /></div><div>The movie was projected on a screen accompanied with original music composed by Marco Spatuzzi, and performed by his group <i>Memoria</i>. It was rock oriented, but didn't neglect the ambiance of the cyberpunk film setting. The songs paired with the scenes, savoring every key element in the film. The music enhanced the vision, whilst the lyrics, written by C.A. Chicoine, reinforced the story.</div><div><br /></div><div>In all, twenty-five songs (<i>of which eight are instrumentals</i>) were written for this production, spanning the entire length of the actual film. With some modifications, the musical numbers could be easily adapted to a Broadway-style musical.</div><div><br /></div><div>To learn more about the project, and to listen to some of the songs, you may visit the website <a href="http://bladerunnerrock.com/">BladeRunnerRock.com</a> for further information.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bringing <i>Blade Runner</i> to the musical stage would not only deliver this epic story to a new audience, but it would also complement the Blade Runner franchise with class -- <i>Broadway-style</i>. </div><div><br /></div><div><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HgrqOhGPAVc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(204, 204, 204);

I'll be posting one of the songs,"Through the Eyes of a Child," to the ReverbNation page soon. <br /><br />I made a proposal to Marco that would change the line-up. In my opinion, it is a natural evolution for this project. It would greatly enhance and enrich the beautiful songs for this production. For, it would provide a more rounded, fuller sound adding extraordinary dimension from an extraordinary cast.

Other than that, I feel this will be a gem of a production.<br /><br />I'm currently awaiting feedback from Marco. ;)<div class="blogger-post-footer">MEMORIA blog</div>MEMORIA ~ Blade Runner Rockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10341253423873293235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147270553607946336.post-32481076153796194902009-05-18T11:45:00.000-04:002009-05-18T11:46:28.049-04:00Studio Booked!Mixing another song tomorrow.

Their repertoire of atmospheric rock spans the music genre, from New Age Music to Progressive Rock. The group recorded two albums, and toured extensively in Italy. By 2005, the group went through a line-up change giving us their current incarnation.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>The writing and arranging of the Blade Runner Rock Project started in December of 2004. This labour of love saw it's debut in March of 2006 at the Nino Manfredi di Ostia, in Rome, Italy. </strong></span></p></div> <div style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong></strong><strong>I stumbled upon this group in July of 2007 whilst surfing through the YouTube videos for Blade Runner fan-created material for the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/KippleZone" target="_blank">KippleZone YouTube Channel</a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">. </span></strong></span></div> <div style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></div> <div style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>What caught my attention on YouTube that evening was Memoria’s concert footage from their show <span id="vidDescRemain" style="display: inline;">at the "Locanda Blues" </span>in Rome of 2006. They were rocking-out to the movie Blade Runner projected between them on a big screen. I was absolutely blown away. So, I did an internet search and found their website and their MySpace. </strong></span></div> <div style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"> <p><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Memoria presented a new way of viewing the neo-noir film Blade Runner. The idea was to translate, in music and in words, the over-industrialized; multi-ethnic; dehumanized; polluted environment; depiction of a dystopian future, with focus on the storyline, and the character's relationships and feelings. </strong></span></p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" > </span><p><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>The movie was projected on a screen accompanied with original music entirely composed by Memoria. It was rock oriented, but didn't neglect the ambiance of the cyberpunk film setting. The songs paired with the scenes, savoring every key element in the film. The music enhanced the vision, whilst the words reinforced the story. </strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>I asked for an interview for KippleZone in late July of 2007. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" lang="EN"><strong><a href="http://kipplezone.com/" target="_blank">KippleZone</a> is a website I created in 2005 featuring fan-fiction inspired by the movie Blade Runner. It eventually evolved to feature interviews, articles, and multimedia inspired by both Blade Runner and the book it was based on called “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Philip K. Dick. </strong></span></strong></span></p></div> <p style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>By August 10th the article was completed. I asked for translations of a few of the songs to post up. I got them interpreted by Marco, and also by a friend from the <em><a href="http://www.bladezone.com/forum.html" target="_blank">Off-World Forums</a></em>, Michele (also in Italy, but unrelated to the group), and an online language interpreter tool to give me the best possible English translations. I took a little poetic license with them, because the translations from the beautifully elegant and romantic Italian to the considerably short English syntax and grammar did the music no justice. </strong></span></p> <p style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Marco was impressed and asked if I'd like to translate ALL the lyrics. I was humbled and honoured beyond belief by his request. As I received the rest of the songs... one by one... (with both the Italian and the English translations) I found that the songs could tell a much better story than what was presented to me. Without resistance, I was given full reign to re-write the lyrics. And so I did, over the next four months, re-write the lyrics and sent them to Marco for his and the group's approval. Carolina, the vocalist for Memoria, would sing them and then send them back to me for further critiquing and modifications. </strong></span></p> <p style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Since then, we went back and forth with various plans as to how we should present this production to the English speaking world. In the meantime, they had recorded eleven of the twenty-five songs, in their original Italian lyrics, in the studio for their shows in Italy. </strong></span></p> <p style="font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Although time had elapsed, I never stopped thinking about this music and how to get this music out to the world, whilst sticking to the qualifications of each of our personal standards. This project was something I would not let die, never to be heard by no more than a select few, as was it's fate had I not persisted.</strong></span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>In October of 2008 I conducted a sample test of one of the songs. I brought the tracks of "Merchants of Souls" down to Derek Studios in Dalton, Massachusetts to be mixed. Greg Steele mixed the song with his magic touch. The result can be heard on our ReverbNation player. It was then that both Marco and I knew that we could release a decent cd. </strong><span class="postbody"><strong>This performance was "created" to be performed live. </strong><span class="postbody"><strong>A "studio" recording takes away from the mystique. C</strong></span></span><strong>apturing the energy and dynamics of the musician's performance can only be caught live. </strong></span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>The members of Memoria had since moved on to pursue other music endeavours, leaving Marco and I the task of presenting our collaborative efforts. This is not to say this production would never see a live performance again. Under the right circumstances this could be achieved. </strong><strong> </strong> </span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Working on this project has been a dream for me. Not only was I able to pay tribute to this classic movie, contributing to the ever-growing fandom of Blade Runner. But, I was blessed to have worked with a group of extremely talented musicians. For that I am grateful. I cannot express my gratitude enough. </strong></span></p> <p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Without your support this music would never see the light of day. Thank you for helping to bring this production into the world... from out of a dream, to becoming a reality.</strong></span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>To learn more about the release as it develops join our mailing list.</strong></span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong><br /></strong></span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>Thrive!</strong></span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong><br /></strong></span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>~ C.A.
