Pianist, composer, performer. Tiziano Popoli produces musical projects, sound installations and soundtracks for video, cinema, theater and dance. His interests includes minimalism, sound experimentation, ethnic - traditional music, field recording, and interactive arts. He has been at the forefront of Italian electronic music since the mid 1980's.

In the words of Tiziano himself: 

"In Lingua Mortuorum (something like " In the Language of the People Dead”) is an unreleased piece for magnetic tape from 1989, largely made by manipulating classical music and home made recordings. The title alludes to a “talk of the dead”. In this work I was inspired by the positions of the people killed by the eruption of Vesuvius, as can be seen in Pompeii. As if they were alive, as if they could move and talk. Last year I found this tape in my archive and digitized it, then I sent the file to some friends, Riccardo Sinigaglia, Paolo Modugno and Paolo Venturi, asking them to play freely on the piece. Everyone played on the "base" without listening to the tracks of the others In the end I edited all the material and… voila."

This 16 min+ single comes in the physical form of a Limited Edition, one sided 12" lathe cut record. Adhered to the somewhat distressed back side of each of the 50 copies is a uniquely different vintage x-ray that has been scratched and scarred, and then hand lettered with vintage Letraset rub on lettering. In effect, this is the TRS version of the infamous "bone music" x-ray records released in Russia in the 50's and 60's...although ours will sound quite a bit better! As usual these records were cut at Bladud Flies, in Wales, UK.

There will also be a full, CD version of the album with 4 other tracks, which will be available at the time this record ships, in mid October. Everyone that buys the lathe cut record in advance will also get a copy of the CD as well, and the two will ship together in October when they are ready.

Of course the CD will be available to purchase separately as well, in mid October.
