Insiememusicadiversa-st.,CD box,200?/1977,Italy






A remote part of the world staged the hidden and extraordinary musicalutopia of Insiememusicadiversa, an experience of collective music thatdevoured and assimilated the seeds of the musical avant-garde of thesecond half of the twentieth century, mixing Cage and Cardew, DIYaesthetics and free jazz, fluxus and electronic/concrete music, nihilismand “mal de vivre”. Founded in Umbria (a region of central Italy) in theearly 70s by Terzilio Mancinelli, creative genius and visionary composer,Insiememusicadiversa was the representation of Sound as a way of living,as a devouring obsession, a breathing and pulsating paradigm.
It’s a lucid delirium in which every single sound was – surprisingly –rigorously determined (each composition is annotated with mind-blowinggraphical scores). Insiememusicadiversa was looking for collective music,often played with self-built or invented electronic instruments,including in its timbre-filled landscape the remains and debris ofmusic shattered into tiny fragments.
Experimentation was either produced through the friction betweendifferent surfaces and personalities (“Conseguenza”), or articulatedthrough a complicated tension/distortion process (“In Tre”) or eventortured into an electronic nightmare (“Per quaranta oscillatori”).
The music on the CD includes the digitally re-mastered edition of their only (and impossible to find) LP, privately pressed in 1977, plus two previously unreleased long compositions, for more than an hour of a great musical experience.
