UN POCO DE LIBRARY MUSIC
PATRICE SCIORTINO
Chronoradial
(Omni Recording Co.)
A stunning 36-track compilation from our reliable friends at the Omni Recording Co. devoted to the sublime genius of French production library composer, Patrice Sciortino. In the late ’60s and early ’70s, Sciortino steadily turned in a varied and inventive body of work to companies Musique Pour L’image and PSI to be licensed for films and adverts, but commercial parameters seemed to have had very little impact on Sciortino’s astounding output. Full of oblique juxtapositions, jarring string sections, and an endlessly inventive use of percussive rhythms and shadings, sublime moments of swooning beauty completely elevate it beyond the realm of commerce. Gorgeously remastered by Omni, this album includes the entirety of Sciortino’s crown achievement, 1970’s Chronoradial, along with the choicest bits from his numerous other releases.
