Urban and Tribal Portraits

by Roberto Musci & Giovanni Venosta

Urban and Tribal Portraits cover art

In a brilliant display of early plunderphonics and fourth-world aesthetics, the Italian composers meticulously wove extensive field recordings from Africa and Asia into modern electronic frameworks. The resulting sonic collage is a deeply hypnotic, cross-cultural ambient masterpiece that completely blurs the lines between traditional acoustic folklore and avant-garde studio manipulation.
