Sold out, no repress. Piero Umiliani is unquestionably one of the most consistent figures in terms of soundtrack music and library music worldwide. This precious 13CD box is dedicated to the period of greatest maturity and artistic freedom which coincides with the creation of his personal studio: the Sound Work Shop. The 82 square meter room is elaborated with a particular acoustic treatment suitable for multi-track recording. The instruments available were the best of world production; to these were numerous instruments from all over the globe thanks to his passion for travel. It is also equipped with the best of the most modern projection and slow-motion systems. Of the 13 albums included, spanning a period from 1971 to 1983, nine had never been reissued digitally; the transfer took place from the original tapes provided by the heirs who continue to take care of everything concerning the artist's life with the utmost attention. With the most bizarre pseudonyms we listen to the maestro confront himself with the most disparate genres: percussive and electronic experiments to drive sampling lovers crazy (CD1); the rock-prog-psych of The Braen's Machine, a group formed with Alessandro Alessandroni (CD 2, 3); the delicate melodies, lounge; groovy exotic (CD 4, 7, 11, 12), modern classical music (CD 5); experimental dramatic tensions with synth, bass and primitive percussion on a string orchestra carpet (CD 6); disco-funk-jazz (CD 8); sound exploration in psychic disorders dictated by the human condition (CD 9); pure Italian jazz (CD 10); experimental ambient with synths (CD 13). Albums include: Percussioni Ed Effetti Speciali (1972), Underground (1971), Temi Ritmici E Dinamici (1973), Nuove Arie Romantiche (1974), Musica Classica Per L'uomo D'oggi (1974), Mondo Inquieto (1974), Motivi Allegri E Distensivi (1978), Discomusic (1978), Tensione (1979), Film Concerto (1979), Panorama Italiano (1979), Album Di Viaggio (1981), and Suspence Elettronica (1983). Luxurious wooden box with paper CD covers, reproductions of the original LP; includes sequentially numbered booklet up to 500.
