Συνεχίζουμε το αφιέρωμα στον Ennio Morricone με soundtracks για, ιταλικές κυρίως, ταινίες των ’70s. Ο χειρισμός των εκφραστικών του μέσων έχει ωριμάσει, ενώ η μουσική δεν χάνει τίποτα από την αμεσότητά της [εξαιρούνται τα κλασικά σπαγγέτι θέματα, τα οποία αποτελούν ξεχωριστή και ανεπανάλητη στα χρονικά περίπτωση]. Ένα από τα χαρακτηριστικά του ιδιοφυούς είναι η ταχύτητα και η αποτελεσματικότητα της προσαρμογής του στο περιβάλλον : η ηλεκτρονική επέλαση δεν φαίνεται να ανησυχεί τον Ennio, που περί το τέλος της δεκαετίας χειρίζεται με την δέουσα “ρομποτική” ακρίβεια τα συνθεσάιζερ, συνθέτοντας το soundtrack της ταινίας L’ Umanoide.
We continue the tribute to Ennio Morricone with soundtracks for, mainly Italian, ’70s films. The handling of his expressive means has matured, while the music has lost nothing of its directness [with the exception of the classic spaghetti themes, which are unrepeatable]. One of the characteristics of the genius is the speed and efficiency of his adaptation to the environment: the electronic evolution does not seem to worry Ennio, who at the end of the decade handles the synthesizers with due “robotic” precision, composing the soundtrack of the film L’ Umanoide.

Fab and interesting! I’m listening out of order.
My goodness… he was so prolific.
I thought I had watched a lot of old movies – but none of these!
Don’t “blame” yourself. Morricone wrote music for more than …500 films. The guy was a “music machine”, literally. Many of these, especially from the ’60s and ’70s, were not even released outside Italy.
Thank you very much for listening!
Oh, I don’t. I’m just so impressed!
