Eugen Cicero  - Sunny Medley

Music and arrangement: Davide Bontempi

Poem inspired by this composition
Author: Caio Pezzola - www.caiopezzola.com
Let me grab that shy moon shadow before I miss the breeze of it over her velvet skin.  
What a perfect nightfall to speak up the purest love.
Then we found each other walking without weight along the darker side of the hill, like in a lifelong journey. 
Laid down on my back I feel the earth measuring my body mould with the smoothest pencil. 
But the grey line is merely ignoring that we are the two of us. 
It draws one single egg shaped outline, declaring to heaven our endless bound.

‘Visions in Black and White’ is a collection of rare jazz and improvised themes by one of the greatest Russian film composers Mikael Tariverdiev (1931-1996).

Originally composed for cinema and TV movies of the 1960s and 1970s, it centres on Mikael playing at the piano and keyboard. Many of the compositions can be described as jazz, a genre whose troubled story in the Soviet Union meant they probably would not have existed outside the context of a film score. But, as Vera Tariverdieva, Mikael’s wife, tells, it is probably more in accordance with his vision to hear them in the context of his life-long love of improvisation.

"Astoundingly, he said more than once that he wasn’t fond of jazz. This perplexed me, as he’d always been great at improvisation. Imagine my amazement then when I rummaged through one of our old closets and found a crumbling old tape. It was the score for the 1964 film ‘Until Tomorrow’. I played it. And the realisation came: not only had Mikael had been fond of jazz — no, he’d been an amazing jazz musician. He’d simply forgotten about it, the way one forgets getting an inoculation as a child! Inoculated, he seemed to have developed the necessary response and moved on. Jazz was no more than one stopover on his journey.” Vera Tariverdieva

The pieces here are an introduction to Mikael’s musical world. The tonality of individual tracks varies - they were transferred from original tapes of different eras and conditions that are kept in the Tariverdiev apartment in Moscow where Vera still lives and works. They have been carefully mastered to retain as much of the original ambience as possible and to capture the spirit of a master at work.

‘Visions in Black and White’ is released on white vinyl and CD on 6th November via Earth Recordings.

Mikael Tariverdiev - Theme From To Love

Music is a massive passion that walks beside my soul since ever  I've been educated in composition theory and classical guitar Curiosity and listening stimulate me in discovering harmonies and sonority that, besides widening the musical awareness become a main creative goad  At the moment I am working on some new sound tracks  My pieces could be used for TV and documentaries Corporate Retreat combined with relaxation motivation and spiritual meditation techniques  I would define my music "Soundtrack Ambient" 

  La Musica è una grande passione che mi accompagna da sempre  Sono stato educato in teoria di composizione e chitarra classica. 
La curiosità e l'ascolto mi stimolano a scoprire armonie e sonorità che, oltre ad ampliare la conoscenza delle diverse culture musicali diventano per me importante stimolo creativo  Attualmente sto lavorando alla composizione di nuovi brani per colonne sonore.  I miei lavori possono essere utilizzati per la televisione e per documentari, oltre a corporate retreat in combinazione con supporti per le tecniche di rilassamento motivazione e meditazione.
Definirei la mia musica "Soundtrack Ambient"
