The Blues of the Indian Ocean
The islands of the Indian Ocean witnessed a rapid and chaotic mixing of cultures: Africans kidnapped from different regions of the continent, the indentured labourers from Africa and India and settlers from the Middle East and China. The infinite creativity of humans confronted with the hardship of colonial capitalist reality gave rise to a new form of music that – just like creole language – had not existed before. New instruments were created: the ravann – a form of frame drum, and the maravan…
Uranus - Tibetan Singing Bowls
Digipack CD. In the late 1980s, Klaus Wiese (Popol Vuh) deepened his connection with Tibetan culture. The result is a series of works solely dedicated to the universal purity of the Singing Bowls. Uranus, perhaps the most rigorous of these, is an intense meditation on the trans-personal sphere of the VI chackra. The music becomes like a single harmonic chant, the reflection of a constant flow of divine light, which transforms the psyche and dilates the secret passages of the heart. In the galaxy…

Italian Library Breaks
The Modern Sound Quartet represents one of the most treasured, yet least documented, outfits in the history of Italian library music. An exceptional studio band of session musicians with a formidable groove, they released only a handful of albums under this name in the second half of the 1970s. However, their sound indelibly shaped dozens of “invisible” soundtracks, often without ever receiving an official credit on the back sleeve.
Led by pianist and composer Oscar Rocchi, and featuring Andrea …
