No, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to accuse you. :D

I know you meant the link posted on Artist Names thread by above

, so I just guessed you intended to post on that thread. 8)

Let me ask you something? What is additional artistic production?
(e.g. additional artistic production by Luca Degani)

I'm guessing additional artistic production means while the instruments, setup, way the song is going to be sung and other major things have been decided by Giacomo and Sergio, Luca recommends things such as speed, the intro, sound effects and such. He's probably the one that also writes the lyrics.

Oh, sorry! :) I know I have a habit of going on about something or going off on some tangent, thought I was doing it here!

You're right, I did post the "above" thing on another thread, oops.

I haven't the faintest idea, and the funny thing is that only two sites come up on a Google search for the phrase "additional artistic production", one of which is Eurobeat Prime (and the other is irrelevant.) :lol: I could guess it sounds like a credit for work that was done but not properly paid for, or a credit for doing nothing (like "Executive Producer" in movies).

You might care to read part of an interview in which producer Robbie Buchanan describes *Barbra Streisand's* input in comping her own vocals. (Do a search on that page for "comping" to get straight there.)

Then again, maybe you aren't after "vocal perfection" at the moment...

Looking up some information online and stuff I've read, artistic production is "beautifying or assisting in the production of an art form or music work." In other words, my guess is the additional artistic producer adds some input or assists in the production and/or composition.

Actually I always wondered about that Additional Artistic part myself... always just typed it into the extra info field either way, even though I had no clue what it really was about :P
I thought it might've been of relevance.

Oh, I know about that, it's just I'm usually not working with all that great vocals to begin with, and other issues to deal with. I'd LIKE to be able to do that, but I'm just not in a situation where I can.

I wonder how this guy managed to get hold of some of these people for interviews. His interview with Tom Hooker is quite interesting!
Yes, he has a lot a great interviews with mainly '80s Italo singers! I discovered his site just over a year ago, and like then, I'm still impressed. He does a nice job.

While it takes only a couple of hours to record one song? If he is also
required to compose songs, that makes sense, though.

I've also wondered why we're getting so many DJ Zorro songs, but so few Mega NRG Man songs released in the past few years. Marin doesn't usually produce (he's only done, that I can recall, one or two songs), although recently he's been writing lyrics quite often.

Thank you guys for your search for and comments on "additional artistic production". :D

Now I figured out that it would be kinda credit (prolly invented by
TIME records) to go to someone who did for the production of
the song in question more than an assistant producer, but less
than a coproducer. :roll:

Aditional Artistic Production by Dave Hammond.
Taken from some of my older TIME 12's. Who knows what that means, There is an older Dave hammond 12'- Take Me Higher" Incredibly enuff, I don't have. :( Is it Gino on Vocals?

As for the above question about Artistic Production, I kinda thought it meant a subtle way of giving credit to the coversleeve model or if the song contained Soken lines or something...or maybe it's just the way of an aditional writer crying out "Hey I came up with the C-mellow" :D

I think to an extent credits should be taken with pinch of salt, especially if they're vague. Sometimes "the boss" gets credits for doing nothing--or at least not what the credits say. Sometimes people get credits that don't mean a thing, even if they appear to. ("Vocals arranged by Den Harrow," it says on my "Best of Den Harrow" album.) OTOH, apparently Christina Aguilera got an "Additional vocal arrangement" credit because her she contributed some melody ideas to "Genie in a Bottle". But obviously she's not getting songwriting royalties.

It's Giancarlo Pasquini on vocals. I guess Dave Hammond was
an alias of Giancarlo when he arranged songs. 8)

e.g.
Atrium - Jolly Joker
Produced by Giacomo Maiolini
Arranged by G.Maiolini & Dave Hammond
Recorded and Mixed by Frank Torpedo (=Mr. Gelmetti)

Mike Hammer - Hey Man

Recorded and Mixed at Time Studio by Frank Torpedo

Dave Hammond - Take Me Higher
Original Sound Made by Time Records

You mean Giacomo Maiolini? I've always been wondering
what he is doing. :lol:

Yeah, I always find it interesting to know who wrote the lyrics and who wrote the music etc. And it's quite vague in SEB terms since it's just a list of names. Especially if it's a long list of names (e.g. In The Dark / Silver or Any Song / Dr's Girl), you want to know what exactly did each person do in the production of the song.
