#dedicACORda

Our service for heart-to-heart dedications: give an emotion and create an everlasting memory.

From €40

It is for you if:

You want to amaze a person you love with a really unique and special gift, with the taste of older time’s attention, impalpable but unforgettable as the strongest emotions.
You are a poetic person, wistful and passionate.
It happened to you that a song saved a bad day, changed your mood, helped to relieve a suffering or to say what you were not able to express with words.
You think that music has the power to communicate with a deep and ancient part of our being and could be a secret language between two people.
You want to give to someone far away a space-time journey through the memories that connect the two of you.

How it works

Access the contact form through the button and write to us telling whom you would like to give your dedication and which song you wish that we revisit in our style.
We contact you and together we define the schedule (consider the time we need to study the song, find our key for reshaping it with guitar and voice and create the final version, that we will send or perform for the recipient of the gift! Consider at least 7 working days from booking to delivery of the dedication) and the delivery mode: the performance of the song as a “serenade” in Zoom or FaceTime videocall, or a recording sent through WhatsApp or mail. You can also choose both if you want to make your gift even more special!
Pay with PayPal or bank transfer, as is more convenient for you.
We perform the song “live” remotely, or we send it to the recipient through WhatsApp or email, as agreed upon.

FAQ

Why the price is “from”?

There are many variables influencing how difficult is rearranging a song (to “cover” it or, in terms we like better, to create a version in our style): the richness of orchestration, the original key, whether the song wasn’t written for the guitar or for another instrument, if it is very far from our style. If a song has such complexity, rearranging it would require more time and effort and then, a different quotation. That’s the reason why the price is “from” and not fixed.

What does it mean that “you will rearrange the song” I wish?

Rearranging is the process of breaking up the song to its main elements and find its essence: in every song there is an element most appealing to the ear, and more memorable at first listening (a guitar riff, a synth loop or a keyboard phrase, for example) and that is the base for rebuild the song to a version (in musical and textual terms) true to the original idea, but at the same time mirroring also our style and our lineup (guitar and voice).

What clients say about us:

Sara U.

I received a precious special Christmas gift: a Dedicacorda with bundled Alchemiconcert. Receiving such a gift was really special.

First, being digital avoids wasting paper (a theme I care about); then, being a new concept, it was unexpected and emotionally positively important.

I received a greetings e-card, graphically very neat, the ticket for the Alchemiconcert and the song, chosen for me by my friend, performed by Sweet&Sour.

The affectionate intention of my friend was perceived in the sound of Marianna’s voice and I know that I will able to connect with that love every time I will listen to the song recorded just for me.

I discovered a service I will use, because I felt totally cuddled and appreciated. Thanks, from the heart for this special service – I recommend it to everyone!

Enjoy your Dedicacorda was wonderful.

I had not met my friends for so many months and the fact that, as a beautiful surprise, you appeared on the screen of my computer and sang only for us was an incredibly wonderful intimate moment, the best way I could find for let my friends feel that I wanted to celebrate being again, at last, together. Being able to embrace, as we didn’t do for so long. So, we could have forever a unique, precious and unforgettable memory of how important it is to do each other small gestures of care and love. Thank you!

Why choose Marianna’s and Maurizio’s service? Because it isn’t a semplice dedication: Marianna’s voice inspires feelings and memories coming from afar… I choose to dedicate Fabrizio De Andrè’s “La canzone dell’amore perduto” to a person I really care, and it has been an appreciated gift, that came right to the heart! Giving music is giving life and Sweet&Sour have, in doing it, a lightness and an uncommon care.

I met Marianna one year ago, then I began to follow her Instagram profile. So I discovered #dedicACORda.
I was in search of a birthday gift able to synthetize in an original and personal way a friendly relationship.
I chose the song and gave them free rein for everything else.

The result was exceptionally moving.
Maurizio and Marianna with their freshness and originality covered up a song that for me and for the intended person had a huge meaning.
After many months, I still wonder how I like their version even more than the original.
Why choose this kind of gift? Because we are unique, and we deserve something equally unique.
And, if something goes wrong, the beauty of a creative gesture reminds us how every moment is equally valuable.
