Good-Bye Moscow
A great Japanese jazz soundtrack from the late 60s by Toshiro Mayuzumi and Masao Yagi– as full of feeling
and creative inspiration as some of the best French jazz scores of the
New Wave! The tunes here mostly stand out as strong jazz numbers on
their own – although there are a few shorter, more introspective or
scene-setting passages – and although the players and notes are all in
Japanese, we can tell you that the music's mostly in a small combo mode,
with strong solos on tenor, trumpet,…

One Man Sessions Volume 2 // Unprepared Piano
After the oneiric journey through synthesizers on Volume 1, entitled Synthesis (2018), Massimo Martellotta (founding member of Calibro 35) returns with the second volume of One Man Sessions
exploring the tonal possibilities of the classical instrument par
excellence: the piano. The instrument is at the center of the scene, and
the prepared piano in the manner of John Cage is here
decontextualized and freely "In/Prepared" and reinvented in a very
personal way, placing objects of common use o…
One Man Sessions Volume 1 // Sintesi
"Functioning as a virtual one man orchestra, Massimo Martellotta (Calibro 35) turns his deft hands to atmospheric cinematic groove and sound.

Planetarium

These bizarre titles are just a few of the self-coined terms that Australian electronic musician Ian MacFarlane has conjured to represent his eccentric sonic world. An artist whose unique style of electronic experimentalism has balanced dangerously close to the edge of popular convention, existing outside the mainstream and extending well beyond the fringe of any sanctioned independent scene.

A singer-songwriter of a notable fame in the ‘60s, he becames a soundtracks composer by pure chance when, at the beginning of the ’70s, while walking in front of the Venice station one morning he was noticed by a pr…
