Now reissued and distributed via Goodfellas

An extraordinary album by Bruno Battisti D'Amario and one of the furthest experiments in library music, officially reissued on vinyl for the first time. ‘Chitarre Folk’ was conceived in July 1974 and produced by the small publishing company Nike, Maestro D'Amario and his brother own label at the time. The album is brilliantly propelled by the two six-string players Bruno Battisti D’Amario and Silvano Chimenti (another legendary Italian guitar player of the golden era), touching avant-folk themes surrounded by Maestro Sandro Brugnolini’s lush arrangements and Edda Dell'Orso’s ghostly vocals. Ethereal Psych-Folk melodies akin to the imaginary landscapes of John Fahey and Robbie Basho.

Sonor Music Editions proudly presents this restored issue of Maestro Sandro Brugnolini’s Overground. This elusive masterpiece in library music captures the most impressive work, alongside Underground (1970), of the Italian composer and alto sax player.
 
Overground was released on Sincro Edizioni Musicali in 1970 as the soundtrack to Enrico Moscatelli and Mario Rigoni’s documentary Persuasione, commissioned by Ente Provinciale Per Il Turismo Di Trento, a local tourism board in Italy, with music composed by Sandro Brugnolini and Luigi Malatesta featuring some of the best musicians in Italy at the time like Angelo Baroncini and Silvano Chimento on guitars, Giorgio Carnini on piano and organ, Enzo Restuccia on drums, and Giovanni Tommaso on bass and effects.

Along with the "Overground" new vinyl reissue, we have released this legendary album on 4-track reel tape format, thanks to the incredible work of Mirco Roppolo who hand-crafted these beautiful items recording the music from the masters onto tapes. These reels also include designed labels like the original Rca tapes produced along the 1960s.

Tapes are limited to 20 numbered pieces only and are exclusively available at our Bandcamp: https://sonormusiceditions.bandcamp.com/album/overground

Sonor Music Editions spent years producing the definitive reissue of one of the finest albums from what would have been Italy’s 1970s progressive underground if the space wasn’t populated by maestros of popular and classical music like Morricone, Bruno Nicolai, and Alessandro Alessandroni.

This is composer and alto-saxophonist Sandro Brugnolini’s masterpiece. For the first time since its 1970 release on the tiny production library label Sincro Edizioni Musicali, it’s been pressed from Brugnolini’s original master tapes.

Overground was created as the soundtrack to Enrico Moscatelli and Mario Rigoni's documentary Persuasione, commissioned by a local tourism board in Italy, with music featuring some of the best musicians in Italy at the time: Angelo Baroncini and Silvano Chimenti on guitars, Giorgio Carnini on piano and organ, Enzo Restuccia on drums, and Giovanni Tommaso on bass and effects. The music spans from psychedelic rock to avant-garde to jazz, in a way, fitting next to the best by the likes of David Axelrod, Galt MacDermot, and Jean Claude Vannier – and of course alongside the grooviest Italian albums, like Stefano Torossi’s legendary Feelings, on which Brugnolini himself appears.

Definitive vinyl LP reissue, limited to 500 units. Pre-order for July 12, 2024 release.

Last installment of Mr Bongo includes an interview about our label and the underground world of Italian Library music we have started to focus on in 2023. Enjoy the article: https://www.mrbongo.com/blogs/news/digging-deeper-an-interview-with-sonor-musichttps://www.mrbongo.com/blogs/news/digging-deeper-an-interview-with-sonor-music

For the latest instalment of our Digging Deeper interview series, it was a joy to sit down with SONOR Music Editions and talk about the world of library music with founder Lorenzo Fabrizi and label manager John Henriksson.

The past few decades have seen a real resurgence in the realms of library music. A world of often instrumental, multi-genre productions, composed and recorded specifically for use in various commercial and media works. It’s obscurity and originality has been a source of sampling gold and since 2013 Rome-based Sonor Music Editions have dug deep into the golden era of Italian library and soundtrack music reissuing some exceptional releases from the prolific ‘60s/’70s heydays. We spoke to Lorenzo and John about how the label came about, the nature of the genre and the struggles it brings when licensing music from this sphere and the contemporary artists who are keeping the scene alive.
