Thomas Federico - Freelance Full-Stack Designer's Blurbs

About me:

About me professionally:

As a Freelance Full-Stack Designer, I'm a cross-disciplinary designer/developer specialized in branding, graphic/UI/UX design, front-end development, and multimedia. I offer customized digital and printed solutions to support you and your project(s) rock in the long run while striving to deliver results that outrun expectations. I provide my expertise to:

  • ✓ Bands, musicians, and recording studios
  • ✓ Businesses (B2B) / Private clients (B2C)
  • ✓ Academics, artists, social media users…
  • ✓ Profit / Non-profit organizations

Operating from Lehtisaari (between Neo-Helsinki and Espoo, Finland)—I have been working since 2010 with bands, businesses, and clients based in Finland, Norway, France, Germany, Sweden, the UK, and the US.

Let's link up today!

About me IRL:

I'm a 35-year-old open-minded person and a MySpace veteran. Also, I'm happily married to my wife, living with our child and our dog.

SpaceHey is rad because I like its retro aspect (and also a helluva lot of retro things like movies, music, video games… but also other modern things too), its back-in-the-day MySpace community-like, and how we can customize our profile more than on any other social media platform (more than HTML and CSS helping me to make a living, it's like visually rhyming with code)!

Moreover, I wanted to give it a shot by experimenting with SpaceHey and its features, promoting my business and extending its presence online, looking for new working opportunities, meeting and connecting with interesting people (and their profiles), and making a few (cyber)friends :)

Who I'd like to meet:

Professionally speaking: I'd like to meet people/bands/businesses I can provide my expertise to (please read above "About me professionally").

Personally: Cool people on SpaceHey with similar interests or profiles that get my attention or I find surprising/fascinating… Are you the next one? :)

Hi! Sorry for responding this late. Alright! So I watched the video, and here's my take on it (spoiler alert: you might take some time to read it through, feel free to take a beer before)

As a viewer, the video production is neat (I dug the mix of dark place/faint clear/neon lights to create this type of dark contrast in colors while conveying a stark contrast between hope and despair… which reminded me somehow of 80's gritty cyberpunk animes) 🤘

As a listener, I must admit I felt a bit conflicted when trying to understand it for the first time, which I will clarify below.

On the one "ear" (pun intended), the clean vocals were crystalline and easy to understand and follow your song along 🎶

On the other "ear", it was hard for me to catch up with the words from the growling parts (even while reading the lyrics, possibly because of the way they are transcribed on YouTube).

BUT, and in all fairness to your band… I suppose it might have been the same for some other people who are new to your band's style/sound and listened to it for the first time (especially, I think, for non-native English speakers like me).
Don't get me wrong: I also accounted that your singer growled it to the very best of his abilities to do it the way your band envisioned your song and the final mix you wanted at the recording studio (as a designer working with bands and a recording studio in Oslo, Norway, I can relate to how much you musicians put time, efforts, and resources in a studio)


Moreover, and from personal experience, it takes me some time to get into a new band and possibly become a new fan by understanding what they sing (and get the dynamics/synergy between the clean and growling vocals); appreciating their universe/songs/themes; and what they (might) mean, as well as the visual part (your band identity, history, style, music videos... you name it!)

Anyhow, back to "Ghost". I listened to it a couple of more times, and it was easier to get used to them while reading (and growling along) to understand afterward what you growl-sing and finally get your song to as a whole

Overall, I think it's a very well-constructed song with meaningful lyrics/themes I can relate to (as a listener)... which is what makes me like your music :) The guitars at the beginning were catchy. Way to go to kickstart your song! 🎸

If I may, there's one thing I'd like to ask about the lyrics as it's open to everyone's interpretation (feel free to answer or not):

What do you mean by "the wolves are made weak"? I understand the rhyming parts between "weak/speak" and but about the wolves... Are they metaphorical? Or were you referring to the wolves as animals? 💭

Good job, Cabin Boy Jumped Ship. You got yourselves one more follower onboard on Facebook and Instagram! I'll listen to your other songs


Cheers and have a good one! 🍻
