Tower of Silence

by Roberto Musci

Tower of Silence cover art

Gathering the obscure, highly sought-after 1980s recordings of the Italian experimentalist, this compilation functions as a dizzying, pan-global sound collage. The producer seamlessly weaves field recordings of indigenous chants and traditional Asian instrumentation into lush, ambient synthesizer beds, creating a remarkably cohesive vision of 'fourth world' music. It serves as a masterclass in deeply respectful, ethnological electronic production.
