Italian Experimental Obscurities, Soundtracks and Library Music

[@michelepetrone4664]

It's fun how some of these tracks belonged to Italian erotic-comedy movies of the 70s's and are now seen as ambient/library music.

[@willmcconnellsimpson1411]

Presumably the fact that they're library music is how they ended up in said movies, but yeah, it's funny how what you call something affects it's cache... >_

[@genjidojima7359]

Some of the songs definitely have a "commedia sexy" kinda vibe! Love it

[@qhodkabg]

seriosly? :D cool comment. btw I find them more erotic than library like :D Lol tks for the clarification

So grateful for your channel! I’m a 72 years young, female, jazz musician/composer and singer. So wonderful to hear you passing this life-giving elixir to everyone. Thank you!!

@@jonathancorbett7882 Creation is amazing, though Curation shouldn't be ignored. The artist are amazing and deserve props, though I think what this channel excels in is diversifying peoples taste. The purpose of this channel is to celebrate these artist and share not just this music, but music from throughout the world and time. If you can honestly say there's no difference between the selection of mixes provided here, and those on your local radio you either live in a city with a great station, or are ignoring the effort taken to select, source and present the work in such a beautiful way. Doing that while providing the sources as well for people who want to go deeper is awesome though, which is why I love this channel.

[@qualljq]

Additionally, this channel is free to access. The Patreon support is a tip jar for the aforementioned curation efforts as well as collection for future projects. Look at this like a public access radio show that's run off of donations in lieu of ads interrupting the enjoyment every few songs. Each set is curated and played free of interruption as a whole piece, akin to making an art collage. Challenge yourself to create a set that flows as effortlessly as this one (or any of the others hosted here) before making this type of comment in the future, you'll see the effort thats put into every video.

[@qualljq]

@@jonathancorbett7882 As someone whose been DJing since highschool and digs in every city I visit, I've never heard of or seen most of these albums, though I get your point. Everyone has their own experiences and I think that again diversifying peoples taste is really great, even if it's a shallow exposure, it's exposure nonetheless. This channel doesn't run copious ads, it's not behind a pay wall, and it credits the original artist while being played on real vinyl, which supports the original artist. I'll make an effort o checkout mixcloud though, sounds like a cool place to find more new stuff to look for next time I hit Amoeba when I'm in LA

[@MyAnalogJournal]

@@jonathancorbett7882 I’m seriously struggling to understand what made you hate what I do here. I literally make 0 money out of KZbin views. I spend almost all the money that Patreon supporters donate into buying new records. I’m not saying that I am the best digger (seems like you do think that about yourself though) I don’t make these sets exclusive to people who support me. I just share the music I love and discover. It’s absolutely fine if you don’t enjoy it. But the hate that you’re giving me is just unnecessary.

@@Galaxmul I fully agree. This "random guy" introduces these artists that are unknown to most people, opening up the possibility that these people can buy their records.

@@jonathancorbett7882 I don't really have exposure to many of these artists and rarely hear them outside of cinema soundtracks and the like. I always research the artists that I like and try to support them if they are still around. That said, most artists from the late 20th century don't even own the rights to their music anyway, so really you are just taking money away from the copyright holders, whoever that may be.
