Legendary Italian composer Piero Umiliani’s soundtrack and library work released on new compilation

A contemporary of Ennio Morricone and Riz Ortolani.

A selection of music by Piero Umiliani is being released in a new double album called GRAZIE! this November on Nature Sounds.

Alongside Morricone and Ortolani, Umiliani helped create the, now iconic, jazz-influenced European film sounds of the 1960s and ’70s.

GRAZIE! was inspired by a trip collector Mike Wallace took to Italy to visit Umiliani’s Sound Work Shop, and meet his family and friends.

The package also includes an accompanying an Umiliani mix CD by Wallace.
