LAWA is taking a Ride through the 70´ s and 80´ s of French and Italian cinema. From Michel Colombier, Michel Legrand and Jacques Revaux to Alessandro Alessandroni, Daniele Patucchi, Nico Catanese and G & M de Angelis. Not to forget the Master of them all, Morricone.
In their dark electronic Style these tracks appear in a new brilliance and proof the excellent handcraft these songs were done – and they were created by extraordinaire Composers. In some cases the versions of LAWA are close to the original others were idea giver for their own creation.
„THE PARALLAX VIEW“ (Cine 23) is coming as black or coloured Vinyl/CD Set or as CD Edition.
LAWA (which is the acronym of Leonard Alain and Wank Alex) new album entitled „The Parallax View“ (Cine 23) will be released later 2020 is honoring various scores and composers from Italy and France. This track is the title track of „2019: After the Fall of New York aka Fireflash“ by Guido & Maurizio de Angelis, a score which was never released so far in any form. As the title track is never played to the end in the film LAWA continued in their own way to finish the track as it could be. In other words it starts as a „Cover“ and develops to their very own.
Nevertheless a fantastic and different score by the De Angelis brothers which has to get rediscovered and released!!!

OVERVIEW
Prog doom drummer du jour Andrew Prestidge branches out into the field of electronic music with his solo synthesizer project MORLOCK!
After several years spent holding down the drum stool with legendary doom metal acts Angel Witch, Electric Wizard and Warning – not to mention the prog rock bands Zoltan, The Osiris Club and Suns Of The Tundra – Andrew sat down with his keyboard collection, a 4-track recorder and a selection of sonic screwdrivers to create a new kind of music.
The space-rock jams contained on ‘Ancient Paths’ are influenced as much by retro synth artists Kraftwerk, Heldon, Tubeway Army and OMD as they are by the sci-fi soundtracks of John Carpenter and the folk-horror that seeps into every corner of the British Isles. Andrew’s previous experience in live-soundtracking silent films (performing at Stewart Lee’s ATP Festival with Suns Of The Tundra to a 1919 film detailing Shackleton’s expedition to Antarctica) and reworking vintage horror scores with Zoltan guide the expansive, all-instrumental melancholy of the record. Acoustic guitars, analog synthesizers and electronic percussion coalesce into a retro-futurist soundscape for the mind’s eye.
Many of the songtitles reference occult literature and cinema: Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (‘Rotwang’s Furnace’), Phantasm (‘Morningside’), H.P. Lovecraft’s Colour Out Of Space (‘Blasted Heath’), the comics of Jack Kirby (‘Kirby Oberon’). The band name itself is a nod to H.G. Well’s classic 1895 novel ‘The Time Machine’.
The Wind in the Willows recast for the 22nd century? Quatermass and the Pit relocated to Summerisle? The music of Morlock bridges the past and the future, re-imagining both into a blend of electronic perfection.
It is a great honor and pleasure to finally announce the release of the first soundtrack on Cineploit by Italian artist LUIGI PORTO !
September 8th LUIGI PORTO´s score for ROMANO SCAVOLINI´s upcoming film „L´Apocalisse delle Scimmie“ will be released under the title “Scimmie” (Cine 10).There will be 250 copies as an LP/CD Set, 250 LP only and 500 copies as a Digi CD.
Luigi Porto is an Italian musician and composer. He released some experimental songwriting albums with his former solo project Appleyard College, and with the Italian band Maisie. He is a resident composer in a contemporary opera company based in New York City.
With a background in visual arts, he works also as a sound designer in films and theatre performances. SCIMMIE, his first release under his own name, is a soundtrack to an unreleased experimental movie.
In his own words:
<<SCIMMIE is a musical conversation that flows parallel to Romano Scavolini’s film.
These were the agreements. When we met the first time, he told me “I don’t want film music. You have to create a sort of “pain symphony”, something that continues even if the film stops, a music that doesn’t care”.
The work, divided in three volumes like the film, was conceived during the last years in several places of the world, while from time to time I was moving for work reasons. I wanted to collect contrasting experiences, put them in line without seeking for harmony – releasing instead many individual energies, make them explode and implode, simply suggesting a direction.
I used many composition techniques to do this, from classical 4 voices writing to sampling, overdub, psychedelic jamming. I wanted to let this music emerge and sink between various identities, without being afraid of making a faux paus – instead trying to speak languages that are unfamiliar to everybody, even through the various featuring, conceived as “representatives”. It is a political vision. Contradiction, schizophrenia, I wanted to ride them, ritualize them, show them. Not as a contamination, but as a struggle, a fight.
I try to compose and, once written and recorded, handle the tracks as they were found objects, with continuous elevations and debasements – actually “shuffling the cards” (even Romano in the meanwhile was doing it with the film, editing the episodes and then shuffling them). Hiding the composition process sometimes, and sometimes instead showing it totally naked, make it emerge. Writing “straight”, recording, letting the material settle until the emotional detachment comes, and then mistreating it, jamming upon it, giving space to randomness to find new paths. This, for me, is a method and a liturgy. >>
ROMANO SCAVOLINI is probably known best for his movies „Un Bianco Vestito per Mariale“ (aka „Spirits of Death“), „Dog Tags – Platoon to hell“, „Savage Hunt“ or „Nightmare“. „L´Apocalisse delle Scimmie“ is starring John Phillip Law in his last role before his death.
