Description
Fantastic limited edition 4x LP of some rare and wonderful soundtrack snippets from the classic Italian 60s and 70s era. Brand new and sealed. Info below
Tidbeats is a play on the word tidbits. Those that lay, forgotten, in the vault of Cinevox Record are truly “delicious morsels”: original tracks by Stelvio Cipriani, Francesco De Masi, Piero Umiliani, Gianni Ferrio, Giorgio Gaslini, Riz Ortolani, Armando Trovajoli, Piero Piccioni and many other great masters of the Italian soundtrack. Treasures searched for, discovered and restored in a unique score by Alessio Santoni, over two years of uninterrupted seclusion between the shelves of Cinevox and the recording studios of Trafalgar Studios.
It resulted in a surprising sound mosaic composed of 161 unheard-of takes, for a total of over two hours of listening, embellished here and there by unexpected cameos: sometimes, between one song and another, indications to the musicians from the composers, captured on the original Studer tracks.
A rigorous philological endeavor and at the same time a very attentive work of mixing tone and rhythm. Themes, variants, detachments, interludes handled like precious fragments of a collective dream recomposed, elements of the viaticum for a new musical pilgrimage along the golden age of Italian cinema.
The work, produced by Carlo Bagnolo for Cinevox Record, with the executive collaboration of AMS Records, is entrusted to the Milan-based distribution company BTF.
Tidbeats is available, as a very limited edition, in a luxury box of four vinyls.
