Album Notes & Community Reviews
Founded by Ennio Morricone and Franco Evangelisti among others, this avant-garde Italian collective focused entirely on spontaneous, non-idiomatic music creation. 'Improvisationen' captures their intense, atonal interactions using traditional instruments manipulated to generate stark, often terrifying soundscapes. The ensemble's radical approach to sound design deeply influenced experimental contemporary classical music and modern cinematic scoring.
