Rating: The more experimental Morricone is a very different artist from the one we listen to in so many soundtracks.
Volume 6 of the RCA Sound collection presents us with a series of tracks that are not easy to enjoy, focusing not only on the synthesizer and electronic equipment so popular at the time but also on more or less usual instruments. Listen, for example, to the Sicilian jaw harp featured in Trasformazioni, a track with a highly syncopated time that posed a real challenge for the percussionist on duty.
Edda Dell'Orso gives us chills in Costante, a track that would have been perfect in one of her works dedicated to thriller/horror cinema. The first side is concluded by Frazione, a piece of true contemporary music that reminds me of certain works by Salvatore Sciarrino (as well as the following Simmetrico and Superficie).
Lastly, I point out the twisted and distorted jazz of Alternance, with Edda's vocalizations making it all the more hallucinatory.
In conclusion, another excellent volume in the RCA Sound series, useful for delving deeper into the great musician that is Morricone.
