Cadaveri Eccellenti (CD)
Review: Pianist. Conductor. Composer. Impressario. Extraordinaire. We could probably leave it at that with Piero Piccioni, but for the sake of clarity let's get clear. One of Italy's most prolific film composers of the mid-late-20th Century, this monolith of big band and jazz wrote more than 300 movie scores in his career, and also lays claim to membership of 013, the first jazz outfit broadcast in his home country following the fall of Fascism in 1944. Born in Turin, one of the epicentres of Italian music, Cadaveri Eccellenti was a 1977 crime thriller about Lino Ventura, Italy's top homicide detective, who is investigating the assassination of a judge. Full of intrigue, mystery, and tension, not to mention that underlying sense of sexiness which seems to pervade European flicks of this era, by now you can probably imagine how cool the score is.
Review: The second of two Correspondences between Soundwalk Collective and the post-punk great hitter Patti Smith comes as the second audiovisual project in the series, exploring humanity's relationship with nature, history, and the sacred. 'Children of Chernobyl' captures the aftermath of the eponymoys disaster, while 'The Artist, The Acolyte & Nature' reflects on humanity's mutually assured capacity for destruction, forming twinned sides; a music historiography telegraphing over 500 years of "muse-ecology", from medieval Russia to the Chernobyl disaster and spirited musical responses to the ecological crisis. Inspired by the great artist Andrei Rublev's work, Smith's poetry is heard metabolising beauty, grief, and longing, as Smith meditates on darkness, hope, and the swooping impacts of history.
