Burn the Night / Bruciare la Notte: Original Recordings, 1983-1989

Burn the Night / Bruciare la Notte: Original Recordings, 1983-1989 is the first archival collection of music by the Italian minimalist composer Tiziano Popoli. In his music, Popoli framed the Italian avant-garde and New Wave of the 1980s through an architectural aesthetic distinctly detailed by a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, Roland TR-909 drum machine, and early sampling technology. These fourteen pieces comprise unreleased recordings for installations, theater, and radio broadcasts, and they each beam with unusual melody, radiant color, and generative life. Compiled by RVNG Intl. And Freedom To Spend, this CD includes a printed inner sleeve and a twenty-page booklet with extensive liner notes and ephemeral enrichment.
