Finally putting an end to a long wait for library music lovers, Four Flies Records is proud to present the first reissue of Piero Umiliani’s PAESAGGI – a record that, despite remaining for many years pretty obscure compared to other titles in the maestro’s discography, is now regarded by collectors and experts as the gold standard in Italian library music.
 
Originally released in two versions with different sleeves, the first on Liuto Records in 1971 and the second on Ciak Record in 1980, the album features tracks composed by the maestro himself (under his alias Zalla) and performed by the legendary super-group of Italian session players I Marc 4, this time with Angelo Baroncini instead of Carlo Pes on guitars (which probably explains the name being spelled with a ‘k’ instead of a ‘c’ on the album cover).
 
The Italian word PAESAGGI means “landscapes”, and that is exactly what the music in the album has been designed to evoke – a journey of moods and emotions, through exotic and pastoral scenery, with loungey sounds that caress your ears like the song of an enchanted nightingale. Mysterious yet captivating soundscapes transport you to a faraway and peaceful place, possibly somewhere in rural Asia. While listening to the record, you’ll feel as if you are sitting under a pavilion, right in the middle of a tea plantation, enjoying a freshly brewed green tea and watching the calm sunset.
 
In addition, Paesaggi is paradigmatic of Italian library music and its genre-defying nature. By using a multitude of instruments, such as flute, vibraphone, harpsichord, sitar, gong and others, it brings together a variety of arrangements, styles, and genres spanning from bossa nova to jazz, easy listening to psychedelic, Latin, exotica, and many more.
 
Under Umiliani’s brilliant direction, the pianos and keyboard instruments of Antonello Vannucchi, the guitars of Angelo Baroncini, the bass of Maurizio Majorana, and the drums of Roberto Podio dance together and – enriched by other instruments played by top session musicians like Bruno Battisti D'Amario (sitar), Franco De Gemini (harmonica), or Franco Chiari (vibraphone) – create the sound that makes Paesaggi so unique.
 
With the honour of reissuing this masterpiece so many decades since its release comes a responsibility to do full justice to one of the greatest Italian composers of the 20th century and his now celebrated legacy. Four Flies have done their best to put out a record that replicates as closely as possible the value of the original as a cultural artefact, providing Italian library connoisseurs and novices alike with an exquisite sonic, and tactile, experience.
 
Paesaggi will be available in 3 different formats:
Limited Edition Vinyl LP – 1971 album cover, thick tip-on sleeve, 700 copies only
Vinyl LP –  1980 album cover;
First ever CD version – 1980 album cover

Piero Umiliani | PAESAGGI

Alicks - five

Feel your way into the present moment through a variety of ways. You may prefer to bring your attention to the feeling of your breath, recognizing that it exists within a body but that it is not of this body. Observe that you may feel as though you are above your breath, seated somewhere behind your face and inside your head. Alas, you’ve uncovered your first illusion, for you are not there because you are not you. The you you are experiencing is just a pattern of energy manifesting within consciousness - and therein lies your true essence, consciousness. You are the open space that recognizes your body, your breath, your thoughts. Do not mistake yourself for the flowing stream of thought rushing through the ocean of your mind. Be gentle with yourself, for you will forget. And when you do, remind yourself that you are here in the eternal now. You are within this present moment that is unfolding. 

“Unfolding” is the third release from Six Missing on Inner Ocean Records.
TJ Dumser [Six Missing] - synthesizers, guitars, effects, mix + mastering engineer
Zac Colwell - pianos, flutes, voices, additional mix engineer

Recorded and mixed in separate locations over the course of nine consecutive days during the winter. 

The musicians recommend you place headphones on and listen while in a darkened and quiet room, though wherever you most prefer to listen is the best location. Closing your eyes may result in occasional inner mind journeying, this is intentional.

Inner Ocean Records is a platform and collective for emerging artists to release music and visual art. Based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the label was conceptualized in 2012 as a vehicle for artists to have their music heard and seen, to build a community of passionate people.  We designed the label to be what we would have loved to have as artists ourselves, redefining the rules in an ebb and flow to the changing landscape of music. We have made a conscious commitment to be transparent, adaptable and always for the people.

We are a label for artists, by artists. 

We’ve built the backbone of this label around great sound and feeling; laid back, honest and forever chill. We have released a lot of different sounds; Ambient, Lofi Hip Hop, RnB, Modern Funk, Future Soul and Indie. Since our inception, we have prioritized natural evolution and organic growth in the music – we value the process and accept change.  Expect the unexpected; we want to delightfully surprise you;)
