Evolution (Sep 15, 2008) is my first album. The recording sessions lasted from March to August 2008. I worked on this record during the breaks from touring with my band Arcadia. My 2nd solo album is called Codex Magika and was produced on Sep 18, 2012. The Codex Videos was released on Sep 18, 2013. Watch some clips here. The Art of Complications is out since Jan 10, 2016. The next album, The Silent Watcher, was released on Nov 4, 2018. My latest album, « V », is out since Apr 10, 2022.
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.
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.
Finally « Infinity », first full length album of duo « Scopelliti/Davidsen » is released.
You can stream it from all the main music services on the Internet and you can download it from Bandcamp.
The music can be defined as the perfect mix between "Modern Classical Music" and "Instrumental Prog Metal".
The album has been produced, engineered and mixed/mastered by yours truly.
Also it won't take long until my next solo album will be released, in fact it has already been written and recorded this summer (actually the writing process started 2 years ago, even though a couple of tracks were written in 2020.
Other artists on the bill: Tosin Abasi, Nick Johnston, Phil X, Matteo Mancuso, Tom Quayle, Nita Strauss, and more...
Two weeks later I will be flying to China for "Music China 2024" playing for Inspiria Guitars and Hotone Audio (performance time schedule coming soon).
