Five LP set containing original copis of five rare diverse library albums recorded under his name or in disguise (Rovi, Moggi, Catamo) and released on his lables Videovoice, Omicron, Liuto Records, Telesound and Sound Work Shop between 1972 and 1983. Collected in a special tissue bag in an edition of 48 numbered copies in 2014.

condition (records/covers/bag): NM / NM

Numbered tissue bag including the following original 5 LP's:
Rovi – Storia E Preistoria 1972
Piero Umiliani - Chitarra Classica 1976
Moggi - Tensione 1979
Catamo - Fascismo E Dintorni 1981
Catamo - Medioevo & Rinascimento 1983

Piero Umiliani ran his own studio, Sound Work Shop, in Rome from 1969 and released his library work through a family of imprints (Omicron, Liuto, Telesound, Videovoice, Sound Work Shop itself) under a shifting set of aliases: Rovi, Moggi, Catamo, Zalla, Tusco. This third Lost & Found box gathers five of the ambient records from that catalogue, the long-form, drifting, synth-and-Rhodes work he did in the late seventies and early eighties when the commissions were drying up and he had a Sound Work Shop full of gear and nobody to answer to.

The word "ambient" is not anachronistic here; some of this predates or parallels Eno and is at least as good. Five LPs in a box with notes, from the Umiliani estate's own reissue programme. The Roman answer to Music for Airports, made in a private studio for nobody in particular.
