Between Earth and Sky
A mystery begins. A journey. A vision emerges. Free, intuitive music, played spontaneously in the present moment, without any prior arrangements. I invited musicians, some of whom I’ve known and trusted for a long time, such as Fabrizio Ottaciucci, with whom I’ve enjoyed collaborating on and off since 1987. I met Fabio Mina in Bogliasco in 2007, and since then our paths have crossed more and more frequently. He has made a marvellous musical development. Then there’s Francesco, whom Fabio knew, a…
Another Perfect Day
Eight years since his last solo electric guitar record. Bill Orcutt returns to what made his playing essential: slashing chords, frenzied double-picking, angular runs that climb and ricochet. Recorded live at Cafe OTO. No computer loops. No gentle melodic glow. Just Orcutt and his four-string Fender through a tattered Twin Reverb.

Togetherness
Recorded in Paris in 1965, Don Cherry’s Togetherness is a five‑part live suite where pocket‑trumpet chants, Gato Barbieri’s searing tenor, vibes and a dancing rhythm section turn early free jazz into something fiercely open yet strangely joyful.
With a Heartbeat
With With a Heartbeat, Pharoah Sanders and Bill Laswell ride the amplified pulse of the human heart into a slow, glowing trance, fusing tabla cycles, electronic drones and cornet smears into four long arcs of cosmic late‑period Sanders.

Ritmo dell’industria N. 2
** mini LP replica with obi & Japanese insert ** At the end of the ‘60s in Italy – but also abroad, especially in France and England – a very particular trend began to spread, that one known as ’Library music’ or ‘sonorization’: as suggested by its name, those were real music libraries intended for the accompaniment of audiovisual productions such as television programs, advertisements, documentaries and films. Since they were created in total artistic freedom condition, they are often difficult…
