Binsy
Outstanding archival work from Cabiria Records here, presented in the form of an album of gloomy electronic stylings and haunting musical landscapes by Miryam Bordoni, one of few Italian female artists working in the field of experimental and library musics, and also associated with Egisto Macchi and Ennio Morricone of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza. Originally released in a miniscule private edition, these undercover electronic studio sessions made under her experimental alter ego B…
April Orchestra Vol.5
Impeccable short-stab collection of bizarrely prescient rhythmic synthesizer metallics from Amedeo “Di Jarrell” Tommasi (rumor has it that Di Jarrell is his wife’s maiden) - an Italian jazz pianist that, from the mid-70s on, dabbled in crushing analogue devastation(s) and assorted proto-industrial moves across a series of libraries for Cenacolo, Orly, Costanza, and CBS Disques France’s “April Orchestra” series.Each side here presents three more “lyrical” numbers (still quite well produced & arra…
La Classe Operaia Va In Paradiso
* Restocked, reduced price * Goodfellas present a reissue of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack for La Classe Operaia Va In Paradiso, originally released in 1971. La Classe Operaia Va in Paradiso was another strike for maestro Ennio Morricone, one of the most in-demand composers and arrangers of the time. Avant-garde and slo-funk - with scary fuzz and wah-wah guitars - collide on the track "Metamorfosi" and before you know it, you are in the same vertigo generated by Gruppo D'improvvisazione Nuova Con…
Le Labyrinthe Des Onix
In 1972 Francois de Roubaix and Bernard Maitre composed together the music of a TV series for children presented by puppets, called the Onix. The musical oddity here released by WeMe Records is a part of this OST. This piece of music demonstrates once again that Francois de Roubaix was in touch with all kinds of music of his time, including contemporary music. In this experimental track we can feel the influences of the composer Pierre Henry, an other explorer of unknown sounds. On the B …
Musiques de films (1966-1968)
** Edition of 300 copies on 180 gram vinyl ** Awesome and obscure musician/film director, Étienne O’Leary made essentially three experimental films completed in Paris between 1966 and 1968. Day Tripper, Homeo (aka Homeo: Minor Death: Coming Back from Going Home) and Chromo Sud constitute a cinema of resistance. These brutally personal and subversive films form a body of work with few precedents. O’Leary’s contribution to French underground cinema is not, however, limited to the introduction of a…
