RELEASE DATE
12/9/2016
The first-ever dedicated album release by pioneering female Italian film music composer/arranger/multi-instrumentalist
Giulia De Muittis
(aka Mrs.
Alessandro Alessandroni
). This release compiles her contributions of Folkmusic releases
Alle Sorgenti Delle Civiltà
volumes
One
and
Two
to create her first-ever dedicated artist album under any of her recording monikers. Rare undercover pseudo-ethnological studio sessions made under her experimental alter ego
Kema
(
The Pawnshop
) combining the ethos of
Can
's "Ethnological Forgery Series" (EFS) with the studio trickery of
Delia Derbyshire
and unshakable credentials as one of the founding figures of Giallo film music and Italian psych soundtracks. Remastered from the original Flipper master tapes in collaboration with the
Di Bari
family. Perhaps best known amongst fans of Italian production music and Giallo movie soundtracks as the wife of the legendary Alessandro Alessandroni, composer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Giulia De Muittis was an equally formidable force who emerged from the formative years of the aforementioned anti-genres and rose to a monarchic status within the country's vibrant, and seldom rivalled musical secret society. The cliché "behind every successful man, there is a strong woman" might not do Alessandro and Giulia's long-running creative unison justice but one thing that rings true that in the shadows of Senor Alessandroni's limelight (illuminated by his work with
Ennio Morricone
for the films of
Sergio Leone
and
Dario Argento
) remained a darker musical feminine force which in time has come to represent the duo's finest and most sought after sonic artifacts. In a career that spanned four decades until her untimely death in 1984, Giulia's collaborative work as a reliable creative all-rounder and pop polymath has stood the unshakable test of time like few other musicians resulting in projects like The Pawnshop,
Femina Ridens
(1969),
Revolver
(SPITTLE 056LP, 1973),
Questo Sporco Mondo Meraviglioso
(1971),
The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Tomb
(1971),
Angoscia
(1975),
Inchiesta Giudiziaria
(1971) and
Witchcraft '70
(
Angeli Bianchi Angeli Neri
) (1970) earning increasing "Most Wanted" status on the collectors market. It is of no coincidence that Giulia's nom de plumes, Kema and De Muittis, have in recent, more educated years, become trusted seals of approval which connect top choice composers such as
Raskovich
(aka
Sorgini
),
Stelvio Cipriani
, Morricone,
Braen
(aka Alessandroni)
Amedeo Tomassi
,
Piero Umiliani
and
Bruno Nicolai
amongst select others. It is, however, De Muittis's seldom heard self-initiated solo work for small independent Italian library music imprints that reveal a unique multi-instrumentalist female composer working at her most intimate and uncompromised best.
