MARIA TERESA LUCIANI - Sounds Of The City LP

Welcome to the parallel musical universe of Miss Maria Teresa Luciani, a landscape of sonic architecture and theoretical composition constructed by a family of engineers that reinvented the wheel before the vehicle even began the journey.

Imagine, if you will, the musical equivalent of Peter Cook’s Archigram group or the soundtrack to Charles and Ray Eames’ private sketchbooks, hinting at a new municipal, utopian metropolis just hours before the blueprints are suspiciously misplaced by the courier and mainstream pop building regulations piss on our asbestos bonfire.

These 1972 constructions of progressive, cyclic, proto-industrial colour music were never intended for public habitation.

These are the Sounds Of The City in a galaxy far, far beneath our radar and above your expectations that was never built. Pseudo-futurist pop music? Cubic folk? Tape-op-art? Sì, grazie!

"A profound album of soundscapes evoking urban isolation, decrepitude, and chaos, full of bleak, alien textures... And yet, containing a strong underlying pathos." - Bandcamp comment
