** CD Box. The white industrial cardboard box includes an audio CD, a 12-page booklet, five folded posters with graphical scores, plus “Roulette”, a clock-like gadget originally used as the score of the aleatory composition with the same title.** Insieme Musica Diversa, which can be translated in different ways (as diverse music toghether, or different collective music ecc.) truly is a source of endless enchantment. Merging elements of DIY electronica, psychedelia, noise, progressive and free-form rock, Insiememusicadiversa created a sound even they don’t seem to fully recognise. Long hypnotic tracks and frantic drumming emerging seemingly by accident from the twilight of out-there chanting and radical electronic excursion. They are only apparently anarchic while they manage to maintain their lucid dream: to have a deep base collective sound tuned toghether and to have the drumming "tuned" to a rhythm that corresponded to the vibrations.
Much more than just a CD, this edition encapsulates the true spirit of Die Schachtel. It really is a box full of surprises; a journey into the sound of a unique group and the mind of a genius composer. The white industrial cardboard box includes an audio CD, a 12-page booklet , five graphical scores plus “Roulette”, a clock-like gadget originally used as the score of the aleatory composition with the same title.. 

A remote part of the world staged the hidden and extraordinary musicalutopia of Insiememusicadiversa, an experience of collective music thatdevoured and assimilated the seeds of the musical avant-garde of thesecond half of the twentieth century, mixing Cage and Cornelius Cardew, DIYaesthetics and free jazz, fluxus and electronic/concrete music, nihilismand “mal de vivre”. Founded in Umbria (a region of central Italy) in the early 70s by Terzilio Mancinelli and Angelo Petronella, two creative genius and visionary composers, Insiememusicadiversa was the representation of Sound as a way of living, as a devouring obsession, a breathing and pulsating paradigm.
It’s a lucid delirium in which every single sound was – surprisingly –rigorously determined (each composition is annotated with mind-blowinggraphical scores). Insiememusicadiversa was looking for collective music,often played with self-built or invented electronic instruments,including in its timbre-filled landscape the remains and debris ofmusic shattered into tiny fragments.
Experimentation was either produced through the friction betweendifferent surfaces and personalities (“Conseguenza”), or articulatedthrough a complicated tension/distortion process (“In Tre”) or eventortured into an electronic nightmare (“Per quaranta oscillatori”).
The music on the CD includes the digitally re-mastered edition of their only (and impossible to find) LP, privately pressed in 1977, plus two previously unreleased long compositions, for more than an hour of a great musical experience.
