This collection contains a selection of very cool pieces such as the brilliant main theme from Grand Slam (1967), the shake rock (opening credits) from Dario Argento’s classic Four Flies On Grey V…

Nature

Porci con la p.38
"Porci con la P.38" is an almost unknown Italian crime movie directed in 1978 by Gianfranco Pagani - his only and soon forgotten work to date, for two main reasons: the modest quality of the final result and the historical period in which was made, the end of the '70s, when its film genre had practically dissolved. Its music score, on the other and, written by composer and conductor Pippo Caruso (1935-2018), is a quite different matter, and only by pure chance has just been luckily and very rece…

We Who Live Under Heaven
'We Who Live Under Heaven’ - it is a phrase from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Through software transformations, the music freezes and in some cases fossilises some mostly old recordings. The text for the track 'The Clouds Are Not Inaccessible' is from a letter written by James Joyce's daughter Lucia in the 1930's to her psychiatrist. Spoken by Mary Costelloe.
The album consists of 8 immersive ambient tracks played solo by Roger on keyboards in his home studio in Co Wicklow, Ireland.
