Oroginally released in the Gemelli GG-ST 10.000-series as
Gemelli GG-ST 10.011, somewhere early seventies...
I really wish i knew more about this one as it's an intense
blast of weirdness from the "empty scrapyard at midnight"
camp... i do know this; zanagoria is reported to be an alias
of italian film composer giorgio carnini, who composed the
music for "dead end" in '69... then took a few years off from
scoring during which he recorded a few library lps for cam and
gemelli before resurfacing in the late 80s with yet more film
scores & a few classical compositions.
from the sounds & overall assembly method on this record i'm
guessing it's from the early to mid 70s (the two cam lps i
know of are from 1971/1976) ; everything's bathed in thick
reverb, synth blat is happening... somewhere... miles away
from the studio/recording apparatus... slowly getting
marginally closer then fading out again, far away...
here's a blurb on this record i wrote for pitchfork a few
years back that i feel sums this record up on a qualitative
scale:
"not much information on this one to work with. no year, no
biography, google searches yield... nothing further. it's
italian... sounds like a fabled nurse with wound 'list item'.
although it's not on 'the list' (skips from lamonte young to
frank zappa). the last track is four minutes of a flat jazz
combo fed in bulk through a stuck-frequency ring modulator.
the rest is this warbling falsetto with repeated machine
rhythms for like ten minutes at a time (people used to edit
themselves less... times were better...). could be a
library-record of some mev or sonic arts union outtakes. could
be hnas. could even be maurizio bianchi. but could also just
be ohioan teenagers recording boiler-room ambience ca. 1996.
we'll never know. mysterious."
