Roberto Musci, born in Milan in 1956, studied guitar, music and electronic instruments. His self-produced debut album, The Loa of Music, is a seminal work of staggering originality and extraordinary beauty in which field recordings, musique concrète, electronics, synthesis and instrumentation are interwoven, drawing on the countless musics from around the world that he has recorded. The subsequent Water messages on desert sand, composed with Giovanni Venosta, was nominated for a Grammy in the UK in 1987. From 1980 to the present, he has played with many Italian and European musicians: Giovanni Venosta, Claudio Gabbiani, Walter Prati, Giorgio Magnanensi, Massimo Cavallaro, Massimo Mariani, Moni Ovadia, Roberto Zorzi, Chris Cutler, Jon Rose David Moss, Steve Piccolo, Elliott Sharp, Keith Tippett, and the Third Ear Band. In Goodbye Monsters, harmony and peace are sought. "Memories Of A Piano Player" is a tribute to Keith Tippett, a great pianist (King Crimson, Centipede, Mujician) with whom he played in several concerts. "Quantum State" focuses on how quantum mechanics is creating a revolution in the way of thinking and dividing reality into infinite Parallel Worlds. "Panthalassa" is the vast ocean that surrounded Pangea and blends South American marimba music and traditional Chinese music. "Burn The Shadows" is a tribute to the fascinating Indonesian shadow theater, from the stories told and the atmosphere created during the long plays told in the sacred Indian texts of Ramayana or Mahabharata. "Pangea," named after the continent that contained all the land that emerged between 540 and 200 million years ago, in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic periods, imagined as inhabited by man without divisions created by borders, wars, religions or ethnic groups, is also a tribute to Steve Reich, one of the fathers and a great musician of minimal music. Prophecies, a reading of sacred texts and religious songs from evangelical sects in the United States filtered into granular synthesis with percussion music from South India, closes. An inspired Roberto Musci is increasingly aware of his hypnotic and visionary language. Limited edition of 300 numbered copies in white vinyl.
