-
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."
