During an extraordinary career which spanned more than six decades, world-renowned Italian composer Ennio Morricone created over 600 original compositions and a unique and unmistakable style, blending avant-garde solutions with the finest pop-psych attitude.
Among the artists who sampled the Maestro or declared they had been inspired by him in their production: Jay-Z, Flying Lotus, Danger Mouse, Madlib, Mark Knopfler, U2
Marking would have marked the Maestro’s 95th birthday (10th November 2023), CAM Sugar presents a new collection of little-known gems composed by Morricone, that stands complimentary to 2020’s Morricone Segreto collection: Morricone Segreto Songbook. Proof that even one of the most celebrated composers of our time can still hold secrets yet to be unveiled.
Morricone Segreto Songbook reveals again the pop-psych, dark-cinematic and avant-garde sounds that characterized the original collection, with, in addition, a few swerves into the folk-rock of the time, between poignant ballads and elegant chansons. This anthology was born out of a desire to delve into Morricone’s cinematic song production, to unearth some hidden gems that have been more or less forgotten or passed over in the background, despite the innovative level of the writing and the modernity of the orchestration.
