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

「トータスのようなポスト・ロックのサウンドが、ジャズのフィールドから当たり前のように聞こえてくるようになり、ジャズ・ミュージシャンがポスト・プロダクションに配慮するようにもなった2017年に、このアルバムが再発されるのはとても意味のあることである。
ここで追求されていた空間性とアンサンブル、ビートとポスト・プロダクションとのバランスは、いまこそ更新されるべきものでもあるだろう。」
 ―― 原雅明

「今から20年前、1997年に生まれたこの『THE UNSTABLE MOLECULE』は、
現在起こっているジャズの革新が突然起きたトレンドではなく、アメリカのジャズ・シーンの様々な場所で起きてきたことの延長にあることを教えてくれる。」

Angel Bat Dawid is a Black Earth Traditional composer, improviser, clarinetist, pianist, and vinyl addict. She is also a sonic archaeologist gathering and excavating soundz/music from space, the heavens, the ether and beyond. She restores peace, love and healing to the world, using the most powerful tool imaginable: omniversal sound. In 2017, Angel self-released the EP, The Joy of Living; and in 2018, she composed a “cosmic love opera” based on Song of Solomon that was performed at Co-Prosperity Sphere, an experimental arts and cultural center in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood that is home to International Anthem Recording Co, Lumpen Radio, Public Media Institute, and a handful of other grassroots organizations. This evening, the Brothahood will consist of Xris Espinoza (percussion, saxophone), Adam Zanolini (woodwinds, bass), Isaiah Collier (saxophones, percussion) and N.W. Long (electronics).

<p>Excerpt from the album, available from <a href="http://www.soundohm.com/product/Luciano-CILIO-/Dell-Universo-Assente/pid/20619/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">soundohm.com</a>. The critically acclaimed "Dell'universo assente" has finally made available again in a stunning double-LP and CD remastered edition. "These recordings sound as they feel self contained, introspective, and determined, you can feel in the music a sort of necessity that can be rarely found, as in Bill Fay's "Time of the Last Persecution", or in Nick Drake's "Pink Moon": this enormous weight that is bearing on it's creators, the absolute need to exorcize it from their lives, a moment in time where you are invited to hear artists truly in contact with their existence. Luciano Cilio holds that moment in time, an authentic emotional testament, something to be cherished (...) from Jim O'Rourke liner notes</p>

Music is an innately social activity, even music created in the interest of self-reflection and meditation. Early in 2020, Australia's response to the rapidly evolving Covid-19 pandemic had the music community close its doors not only to the outside world, but to each other. By order of a government directive, all social gatherings - including live music performance, group rehearsal and collaborative recording - were to cease around the country.

It was unclear at the start of the pandemic what role peer-to-peer interaction played in the lives of Australian composers. Many already worked from home, well versed in the art of creating spaces of solitude in cities, of building environments conducive to self-reflection, innovation and creativity.

But how much do we really depend upon our community? In a world where self-isolation is no longer a personal choice, will creativity flounder, or flourish?

The recordings in this series are a document of these months and these reflections. A meditation on the way we exist and create, both together and in solitude. As with any creative work, it is up to the listener to draw what they will from these works, and to carry this forward into the world they now inhabit.

New releases will be added ongoing 1 by 1, fortnightly from October. Depending on how long this V2 lockdown goes, we may add even more. Who knows, we may continue this until 2022, forever in hibernation and isolation, yet not isolated. 

Check back every month --> https://private-eyes.bedroomsuckrecords.com/
