For the first time ever, the whole Piero Umiliani’s production on his Sound Work Shop record label is collected in a unique 17-CD sensational box set The boxset includes a set of 17 CDs enclosed in faithful reproductions of the original sleeves, plus a 72-page booklet with rare photos, two essays about Umiliani and his music production written by Maurizio Corbella and Niccolo Galliano, and a detailed discography and full tracklist section. This release has been fully approved by the Umiliani family.
At the Sound Work Shop studio (opened in 1968) Piero Umiliani conceived the majority of his projects and hosted the recording sessions for numerous movie soundtracks, pop hits and library music albums by the most remarkable musicians in Rome ? including himself. In this exciting environment, he had the opportunity to experiment with many different styles, from funk to psychedelic rock, from disco to avant-garde, from easy-listening to electronic music, following the ever-changing needs of the soundtrack and library music industries. He therefore mastered an extreme variety of genres, moods and atmospheres, often mixing up their peculiar features to achieve unusual combinations in albums conceived both for production purposes and for home listening. Umiliani’s ability to reinvent the concept of musicianship in the fast-moving society of his time made him a modern musician in the most complete sense of the term, by putting himself in charge of every facet of his work, from the conception to the production, the recording, the publishing and even the packaging of his own music. In less than two decades, Umiliani released almost 80 records on the three labels he established between the mid-1960s and the early 1970s: Omicron, Liuto, and Sound Work Shop, besides all the music he was simultaneously composing for movie productions, licensed and published by Italian major companies. This box set allows us to fully appreciate this little-known side of Piero Umiliani in an unprecedented way: his ability to seamlessly intertwine his musical creativity with his vision as a producer and publisher emerges clearly from this series as a unique feature of this composer. This corpus altogether constitutes a remarkable contribution to the so-called Italian sound of the 1970s, covering areas such as library music and film music and a plethora of genres such as jazz, funk, psychedelia, prog, easy listening, electronic music and much more!

ピエロ・ウミリアーニが自身のレーベル“サウンド・ワーク・ショップ”で制作した全作品が、史上初めて17枚組のセンセーショナルなボックスセットに収録！限定盤。
トラックリストこのボックスセットには、オリジナル・ジャケットを忠実に再現した17枚のCDに加え、貴重な写真、マウリツィオ・コルベッラとニコロ・ガリアーノによるウミリアーニと彼の音楽制作についての2つのエッセイ、詳細なディスコグラフィーと全トラックリストのセクションが掲載された72ページのブックレットが付属する。このリリースは、ユミリアーニ・ファミリーの全面的な承認を得ている。
サウンド・ワーク・ショップ・スタジオ（1968年オープン）では、ピエロ・ウミリアーニが自身のプロジェクトの大半を構想し、自身を含むローマで最も注目されるミュージシャンたちによる数多くの映画サウンドトラック、ポップ・ヒット、ライブラリー・ミュージック・アルバムのレコーディング・セッションを主催した。ファンクからサイケデリック・ロックまで、ディスコからアヴァンギャルドまで、イージーリスニングからエレクトロニック・ミュージックまで、サウンドトラックやライブラリー・ミュージック業界の刻々と変化するニーズに応えながら、この刺激的な環境の中で、彼はさまざまなスタイルを試す機会を得た。そのため、彼は極めて多様なジャンル、ムード、雰囲気をマスターしており、制作目的と家庭でのリスニングの両方のために考案されたアルバムでは、しばしばそれらの特異な特徴をミックスして、珍しいコンビネーションを実現している。ウミリアーニは、移り変わりの激しい当時の社会で音楽家としての概念を刷新する能力を持ち、構想から制作、レコーディング、出版、さらには自身の音楽のパッケージングに至るまで、作品のあらゆる面を自ら担当することで、最も完全な意味での現代音楽家となった。ウミリアーニは、1960年代半ばから1970年代初頭にかけて設立した3つのレーベルから、20年足らずの間に80枚近いレコードをリリースした。オミクロン、リウート、サウンド・ワーク・ショップの3つのレーベルから80枚近いレコードをリリースし、同時に映画音楽の作曲も手がけた。このボックス・セットによって、ピエロ・ウミリアーニのあまり知られていない一面を、かつてない方法で存分に堪能することができる。音楽的創造性と、プロデューサーや出版社としてのビジョンをシームレスに絡ませる彼の能力は、この作曲家のユニークな特徴として、このシリーズからはっきりと浮かび上がってくる。ライブラリー・ミュージックや映画音楽、ジャズ、ファンク、サイケデリア、プログレ、イージーリスニング、エレクトロニック・ミュージックなど、さまざまなジャンルを網羅したこの作品群は、1970年代のいわゆるイタリアン・サウンドに多大な貢献をしています！（機械翻訳）
