Luciano Basso

Among the few italian records dealing with electronics, these albums by the venetian composer/keyboardist Luciano Basso represent an interesting mix of classical-influenced progressive music and avant-garde.

Usually considered his best release, Voci, the first album from 1976, is a very good LP, containing five long instrumental tracks, with keyboards to the fore and backing electric instruments. Among the guest musicians on this album, the Nuvole di Paglia bass player, Mauro Periotto.
Later works increasingly went towards contemporary classical music.
