Valerio Cosi
Plays Popol Vuh
RED VINYL. Italian sax wizard/multi-instrumentalist/electronic musician (and one of Caribou's Italian favorites) Valerio Cosi comes back after 5 years of silence with a new LP entitled "Plays Popol Vuh". We're not sure if he meant to cover the original titles by the legendary Krautrock collective, because if you're enthusiastically devoted to the 70's band you'll have hard time to find their original melodies in Valerio's renditions. We're sure and proud to tell that the magic he spreads in his …
Thoughts Melt In The Air
The Preservation label presents Thoughts Melt In The Air, the second album from the pairing of Italian composers Fabio Orsi and Valerio Cosi. Both Orsi and Cosi have become recognized widely internationally for their prolific solo output and kindred spirits in creating momentous soundscapes that ring with lyrical feeling. Still in his early 20s, Valerio Cosi has released a seemingly endless stream of work that swirls around giddily in a sweep of heady free-jazz (his main instrument is tenor saxo…
Collected Works
"Collected Works" is the first compilation of music belonging to the solo works of Valerio Cosi. It gathers the best recordings from the years between 2005 and 2008.

We Could For Hours
We Could For Hours is instability. It represents the will to open the gates of unknown. It is the dark, whispered sounds and hidden truths. Chaos. And now here it starts, everything takes form, sensations rise, objects acquire colours, distorted vision but still a vision of reality. Everything dances and follows the rhythm of music, an unknown tribal dance. Silence. Sounds follow themselves but always hidden in a veil of mistery, words are mute, everything is listening attentively to the enchant…
Heavy Electronic Pacific Rock
Valerio Cosi may be young at only 22, but his talent is undeniable. He may be mostly known for his exquisite saxophone playing, but this Italian wunderkind doesn't stop there. Cosi composes strings of magic using all sorts of instrumentation and production tricks. Heavy Electronic Pacific Rock marks the first CD release in Cosi's ever-expanding discography, and he saved the best for this, his most widely-available release to date. Heavy Electronic Pacific Rock is a monster. Clocking in at nearly…
