Lorenzo Morresi & Tenderlonious - Cosmica Italianio

In the late 1960s and early 1970s Italian soundtrack and library music went

through its most experimental, prolific and dazzling period having a strong radio
presence in both Europe and the US. Musicians and composers such as Piero
Umiliani, Amleto Armando Roelens and even Ennio Morricone were regularly
experimenting with idiosyncratic combinations of jazz, electronic, progressive,
disco, funk and psych genres.

It was their mutual love of these 60s and 70s soundtracks that brought Lorenzo
Morresi and Tenderlonious together. After performing alongside each other at a
festival in Italy back in 2017 the idea was quickly conceived to put together a
fresh take starting with that early 1970s Italian style, using contemporary
analogue inspired arrangements combined with experimental and joyful 'tongue
in cheek' sounds that could work on the dance floor as well as at home. Tracks
like "Nuda Sorgente", "Doppio Sogno" and "Estate" are club oriented with a
musical crossover from old- to- new. 'Estate' is a cover from the classic jazz
standard by Italian singer Bruno Martino.

Tender and Morresi worked tirelessly between Italy and London for
approximately 2 years carefully shaping their album 'Cosmica Italiana':
"With this project we've done our best to deliver our own interpretation of this
wonderful era of Italian music and rediscover a beautiful genre, whilst
maintaining a strong respect and admiration for the sounds that those original
Italian masters created. Their records impressed and inspired us and we hope it
will be the same for our listeners today."
