While studying guitar and saxophone in his hometown of Milan, Musci developed a deep fascination for non-western music and set out to travel across India, Asia and Africa, which he would do extensively between 1974-1985. During his many journeys Roberto would become deeply embedded in each unique world of rhythms, scales and approaches to making and performing music. Throughout this period of travel he would make many field recordings as well as collect and study many traditional and indigenous instruments that he would then later combine with synthesizers and electronics on his return to Italy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining personal documents of music and sounds deeply connected to the history and cultures of those lands, with his own explorations and experiments with cutting edge sound technology Roberto Musci would develop through his music a very unique and at times wholly mystical space, where ancient and modern would evolve into a new musical language. As well as making his own music, during the 1980’s and 1990’s Roberto would also regularly broadcast radio shows of\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eexperimental and indigenous music on Italian radio stations such as Rai and Radio Popolare.

The compilation also includes a number of collaborative pieces, many performed and written in collaboration with Giovanni Venosa, such as material taken from their ‘Water Messages On Desert Sand’, which as an album was Grammy-nominated in in the UK in 1987.

This was music that explored the possibilities of Ambient within a new setting, created often by House and Techno producers for a world beyond dance floors but made very much with the pre-clubbing and post-clubbing listener in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen House and Techno exploded out of America in the mid 1980s a whole generation was transformed not only musically but also culturally and chemically speaking. Peaking, quite literally, with a second ‘Summer of Love’ in 1988, millions of young people would experience the life-changing ups of a new world but with it of course came the downs; enter the concept of a ‘Chill-out’ room. Whilst early Chill-out rooms lacked a specific sound and were often sound-tracked by music such as reggae and soul, slowly young Techno and House producers themselves became increasingly interested in developing a futuristic ‘Ambient’ soundtrack to a world beyond the thud of the main room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Ambient’ in this new age now though had sharper teeth than in Brian Eno's key text for ‘Music for Airports’, instead here the sounds were the mode of transport rather than the backdrop. While the melodies were pretty, the soundscapes steered away from the pastoral, often dreaming of outer-space and technology as opening up transformative new dimensions. Much like in the first Summer of Love; the musicians were again exploring psychedelic, mind-altering and transcendental possibilities of music. And also, much as in the first Summer of Love, a psychedelic visual language would accompany the music. Now though the tracks would be accompanied by music videos, often utilising early CGI techniques, and they would look almost entirely to the future: envisioning technology, nature and humanity intertwined in a new Utopia. These were the Virtual Dreams of a new world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Ambient and early Chill-out classics, to lesser known one-off projects, as well as Ambient deviations by some of House and Techno’s leading producers, Volume One of \u003cem\u003eVirtual Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e features tracks by Bedouin Ascent, David Moufang, LA Synthesis, LFO, Marc Hollander, Mark Pritchard \u0026amp; Kirsty Hawkshaw, Richard H.

In many ways—prior to the home-listening intent brought on by IDM—it was the music of fantasy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"It seems somehow fitting that this mind music, big on emotion and dreams, would always exceed its physical habitat,\" Piers Harrison writes in \u003cem\u003eVirtual Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e' liner notes. \"Often due to the quieter volume levels, chill-out zones would suffer from an appalling sound bleed of the 4\/4 beat from the main room. It might have also acted as a de facto coat room, and the number of people overwhelmed by their chemical exuberance might have meant that the atmosphere wasn't as reverential as it could have been.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow lucky are we, then, to reassess this music away from the difficult logistics of the chill-out room, amidst a renewed interest in ambient music, chill-out, downtempo and trance. The best tracks on \u003cem\u003eVirtual Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e haven't aged a day. David Moufang, best known as the house DJ Move D, is featured in his previous ambient house guise with the incredible \"Sergio Leone's Wet Dream,\" a beatless cut that strongly reminisces Ashra's 1977 landmark Kraut synth odyssey, \"Sunrain.\" Midway through the compilation, Tiller blesses us with some slo-mo bangers like Sideral's \"Mare Nostrum,\" a loping, 100 BPM acid track reminiscent of Mr Fingers' romantic early '90s material. Then there's Roman Flügel and Jörn Elling Wuttke's blissful \"Levitation,\" released in 1994 on their self-titled LP as The Primitive Painter. The eight-minute cut smears a sample of A Guy Called Gerald's \"Voodoo Ray\" with analog synthesizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding on a long tradition of chill-out compilations, good and bad, Tiller benefits from hindsight and modern digger culture, picking the cream of the crop from CD-only compilations, early 12-inches and legendary collections like Warp Records' Artificial Intelligence II. The result is timeless. This is music to trip out to, to dance to, to doze off to. A soaring pitch-bent synth lead might wake you up like some blissful, half-remembered dream. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ra.co\/reviews\/25329\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eResident Advisor\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/11GgRVmpjBJNVRPjNPQQTQ?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl Tracklist\u003cbr\u003eA1 MLO - Birds And Flutes\u003cbr\u003eA2 Pulusha - Isolation (Part Two)\u003cbr\u003eA3 Space Time Continuum - Fluresence\u003cbr\u003eB1 David Moufang - Sergio Leone's Wet Dream\u003cbr\u003eB2 LA Synthesis - Frozen Tundra Dub\u003cbr\u003eC1 Richard H.

They embraced traditionally shunned electronic production methods and infused their music with elements of ambient, jazz-fusion, and minimalism.

Its tropicália and bossa nova scenes are obsessed over, and the timeless catalogs of acts like Azymuth, Caetano Veloso and Os Mutantes are valued by DJs, producers, collectors, dealers and, naturally, reissue labels. Floating Points, Gilles Peterson, Antal and Madlib are notably enthusiastic for Brazilian music. (Peterson once traded his car for a copy of João Donato's Amazons.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome may think there's not much else to discover in a country whose record bins have been searched so extensively, but there's always a clever digger looking where others aren't. With \u003cem\u003eOutro Tempo\u003c\/em\u003e: Electronic And Contemporary Music From Brazil 1978-1992, London-based DJ John Gómez presents a scene that explored new age in parallel to those in the US, Central America and Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShould Gómez tire of finding records, he might consider a career as a private investigator. In a recent interview, he described the lengths he went to in locating the artists that appear on \u003cem\u003eOutro Tempo\u003c\/em\u003e: \"I contacted a bar where I had read Carlinhos Santos used to perform in Porto Alegre; the organiser of a conference at which Priscilla Ermel had once given a paper; the producer at a theatre in Bahia where Andréa Daltro had performed in a show.\" He began sourcing this music after stumbling on a copy of Maria Rita's Brasileira in Japan, following a hunch that a scene of homespun electronics had existed in Brazil. He spent days digging through record stores in São Paulo. Despite the prices that vinyl from Brazil can fetch, no one was looking for pioneering electronic Brazilian records—yet. Still, Gómez was wary of Columbusing this scene. \"This has been meaningful music to people in all these different contexts, for years before we 'discovered' it,\" Gómez told Stamp The Wax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOutro Tempo\u003c\/em\u003e recontextualizes this scene for the kind of music fan who, like Young Marco, could spend \"a solid two years just listening to new age records.\" These tracks often take a well-known genre—jazz, folk, tropicália—and bend them, using primitive electronic techniques, into some alien form. On the opening track, Piry Reis' \"O Sol Na Janela,\" he sounds like a drunken lounge singer backed by an experimental synthesizer ensemble. The electro drums on \"Só Quero Um Xodó\" are reminiscent of Mantronix on a Gilberto Gil hit. Luli E Lucina harmonize beautifully over \"E Foi,\" a folk arrangement warped with effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compilation's truly stunning moments apply avant-garde electronic techniques to the musical traditions of the Amazon rainforest region. Gómez notes this scene emerged during a period of creative freedom following Brazil's transition, in 1985, from dictatorship to democracy. This era also saw increased attention paid to previously nonexistent rights for the Amazon Indian population. Musicians like Priscilla Ermel traveled deep into the Amazon to study indigenous music. Ermel's \u003cem\u003eOutro Tempo\u003c\/em\u003e contributions—1989's \"Gestos De Equilíbrio\" and 1986's \"Corpo Do Vento\"—are dizzying fourth world journeys. \"Gestos De Equilíbrio\" segues from plucked, orientalist guitar section to evocative soundtrack-style work and a psychedelic Rhodes jam over the course of nine minutes. Tracks like these show how Brazil's new age artists worked towards a goal common among visionary artists in the field—combining the indigenous with the utterly alien. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/reviews\/albums\/22878-various-artists-outro-tempo-electronic-and-contemporary-music-from-brazil-1978-1992\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eResident Advisor\u003c\/a\u003e)+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"\" height=\"\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2737887252\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ambitious compilation features wild blends of electronics, jazz fusion, new age drifts, new-fangled digital drum machines, and traditional Brazilian percussion placed into new, curious sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1985, Brazil’s repressive junta finally allowed for direct elections for a president for the first time since their military coup of 1964. For artists and musicians of all stripes, the censorship and repression experienced during that military reign came to be known as “vazio cultural” (cultural void). The most well-known example came with the 1968 arrest and subsequent exile of two stars of Tropicália, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. But for the artists who stayed in country, the regime’s censorship became increasingly Kafkaesque to navigate. Some artists resorted to recording without words so as to elude such censorship—see Milton Nascimento’s Milagre Dos Peixes­—but it was only as the military’s stranglehold finally loosened that others began to rediscover their voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the liner notes to \u003cem\u003eOutro Tempo\u003c\/em\u003e—a beguiling and dizzying assemblage of fourteen Brazilian experimental and fusion artists from around the time of that country’s thawing—producer John Gómez remembers happening upon Marco Bosco’s 1983 album Metalmadeira in a British thrift shop and finding a handwritten note within: “Dear Mr. Eno, I would like you to know about our work, we work with tapes and sounds of Nature.” Whether or not Mr. Eno ever happened upon this music, in the instance of taking over thirty years for this work to drift to ears, each track feels like a message in a bottle. As guitarist Nando Carneiro states in the notes, musicians during this time “had to stay caught in a cage.” Emanating from a country increasingly isolated from the rest of the world, these artists put wild blends of electronics, jazz fusion, new age drifts, new-fangled digital drum machines, and traditional Brazilian percussion into a new, curious sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most stunning compositions come from Priscilla Ermel, represented by the two longest cuts on the compilation. During the ’80s, Ermel traveled into the rainforest to immerse herself in study of these vanishing indigenous forms, seeking to fuse it with her own sensibilities as a musician and composer. But rather than just conduct a simple integration of ancient and modern, she also reaches outside of her country for other timbres, suggesting a “world music” more holistic than such a tag implies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“They are portals through which stories, people, and cultures can be revealed,” Ermel explains in the album’s liner notes about how she perceives her music. And almost every track here resonates like a secret kept silent for decades. \u003cem\u003eOutro Tempo\u003c\/em\u003e opens up a portal for us in the present moment back to a time and place where —under the suffocating weight of a totalitarian state—a few brave musicians nevertheless could hear the sounds of a brighter world. — (via \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/music-from-memory.bandcamp.com\/album\/outro-tempo-electronic-and-contemporary-music-from-brazil-1978-1992\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ePitchfork\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"\" height=\"\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2737887252\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=1293534832\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinyl Tracklist\u003cbr\u003eA1 Piry Reis - O Sol Na Janela\u003cbr\u003eA2 Nando Carneiro - G.R.E.S.
