The Loa of music (The complete sessions)

by Roberto Musci

supported by

Lost Tribe Sound Been exploring loads of early quasi-fourth world, ethnomusicologist, earthier forms of musique-concreté, and The Loa of Music (1983) is such a standout record. Musci's reverence towards the traditional music of Loas is evident with his very real field recordings, gentle arrangements and subtle additions. Musci adds just enough to give it a bit of his style and musicality, while still feeling very authentic.

editions vaché Our favourite weirdo ethnomusicologist.....Musci made this back in the eighties...and its still as fresh today...from its opening track, a mysterious call-to-arms from a deep night jungle with deep chants rising from its texture, to 'the time of fire and dream' with its bowed metallophone calling us into the deep jungle, with ancient voices beckoning ....ecstatic music, this. tm/ss Favorite track: Night music.

polinos Yet another obscure masterpiece from the 1980's, that heyday of weird italian experimentalism. This one is a truly strange electro-acustic voodoo-soundscape, that simply do not sound like anything else out there. Take a trip to another musical dimension - eerie, grotesque, and often strangely beautiful and affecting. Certainly not of this world.

about

The Loa of Music is the first recording project of Milanese composer and musician Roberto Musci inspired by Voodoo Religion; Vever (the magical voodoo paintings) and Loas, the dark and magic spirits. The deep charm of non-Western music has led him to travel for many years across Africa, India and Asia, studying rhythms, scales, performance and interpretation of the most varied traditional and indigenous music, as well he make many field recordings and collected ethnic instruments that would then be combined with synthesizers and electronics in The Loa of Music.
Recorded in 1983 originally had 80 minutes of music but only half was released on original LP. SOAVE pressed for the first time the Complete Recording Session from original tapes of this masterpiece that combines in a natural, spontaneous and unforced manner the sounds of distant and historic cultures, loopped, cut and effected, with avantgarde and mystical approach creating a very personal and inspired innovative musical language.
