Italian singer-songwriter and composer whose career began with the 1974 album La finestra dentro. Known for a strong spiritual focus, periods of monastic life and collaborations with Franco Battiato and Bluvertigo. His later work mixes liturgical material with singer-songwriter and electronic elements.

Born in Melegnano (review sources state 1951). Discovered and produced early on by Franco Battiato. Spent time in monastic life (described as Benedictine and as having withdrawn into monastic life for eleven years in reviews). Collaborated with Bluvertigo on Arcano Enigma (1999). Te Deum was released on EMI (as noted in a review).

DeBaser reviews praise Juri Camisasca's daring 1974 debut La finestra dentro and his later spiritual works. Reviewers note a progression from prog/experimental music to liturgical and singer-songwriter styles. Frequent themes: mysticism, monastic life, collaboration with Franco Battiato and Bluvertigo.

For:Listeners interested in spiritual and liturgical music, fans of Italian progressive and experimental singer-songwriters, followers of Franco Battiato.

All of this is Juri Camisasca, a rare and unique artist that only a solitary and forgotten review like this can remember, with the hope that someone, perhaps out of curiosity, may give it a distracted read, and that especially someone, by inertia, by induction, by participation, may for a moment let themselves be enchanted by the spell of a man who Believes.

The 14 years that will pass between Juri Camisasca's first and second album won't just be temporal; they will see a radical change in the author's lifestyle, leading him to become a Benedictine monk.
