In this double-bill dedicated to the work of maestro John Sposito, we present two rare scores composed by him in 1987 for two diametrically different films by Mario Bianchi: Riflessi di luce (REFLECTIONS OF LIGHT) and Non aver paura della zia Marta (aka THE BROKEN MIRROR and DON'T BE AFRAID OF AUNT MARTHA). The first is a softcore drama starring the beautiful Pamela Prati, the second a horror feature presented on TV by Lucio Fulci—two movies with alternate fates that have the artistry of the Roman composer as their common musical trait.
We enjoy facing new heat and bringing cool electronic scores to the attention of our audience, with no doubts that the composer of these two scores is among the most proficient interpreters of that genre, a bold experimenter and great creator of melodies and themes with analog synths such as the Roland JX10S and TR808, Yamaha DX7 and the rare Yamaha CS30L. The results are astonishing and innovative, with themes sprung from the great taste and imagination of the Maestro and produced with his unique ability to sculpt them with state-of-the-art instruments.
The CD is released in a jewel case with a 12-page booklet designed by Alessio Iannuzzi, mastering by Enrico De Gemini and liner notes (in Italian and English) by Ivan Bersanetti.
Don't be afraid of Aunt Martha…
80s keyboards galore – used to great effect on these two obscure Italian soundtracks! Riflessi Di Luce has a mixture of groovers with kind of a sweet 80s pop approach – a bit deeper, given the soundtrack setting – but with some nice melodies that bubble and move along nicely, then give way to a few mellower moments too. Titles include "Tema Riflessi Di Luce", "Tema Flashback", "Tema Pamela Loredana", and "Tema Ragazzi". Non Avere Paura Della Zia Marta follows in a similar mode, but with a bit more variety too mostly keyboard-driven themes that move between simple but effective mood-setting pieces that sometimes have a darker vibe – but not as way out as a horror film. Some of the tracks are quite slow and spare, which is very nice – and titles include "The Broken Mirror", "Magnetic Box", "Death Doomed", "Midnight With Aunt Marta", and "The Door".
