L'OSSESSA

SOUNDTRACK

Marcello Giombini (July 8, 1928 Rome- December 12, 2003 Assisi) experimented with symphonic music, electronic music and also religious music with a rock beat during his career. For cinema he wrote numerous OSTs including the well-known ones from the Sabata Trilogy of Spaghetti Westerns, for the cult horror film ''Antropophagus'' and ''Seli'' and the main score for the Italo-German science fiction film ''Mission Stardust” (aka “...4..3..2..1... morte!”). For our CD (65:25 minutes) we were able to use the mono master tapes (with the exception of two tracks in stereo) from the original recording session. The composer wrote an experimental electronic OST with very gloomy and dramatic passages as well as female voices for the satanic litanies and demonic sabbaths. The evil atmosphere is broken up by enjoyable pieces such as a samba and the recurring '' Tema dell’ossessa'', an extremely lyrical and sad motif. This is a CD to pay tribute to the musical art of Maestro Marcello Giombini.
