Marking the 100th anniversary of Piero Umiliani’s birth, this special listening session explores the musical and cultural legacy of one of Italy’s most visionary composers through a narrative intertwining cinema, soundtracks, library music and sampling culture. Conceived as an immersive dialogue between selected listening moments, archive material and memory, this conversation with Joan Thiele and Andrea Fabrizii will approach Umiliani’s repertoire from different perspectives, from jazz experimentation to the contemporary rediscovery of the CAM Sugar catalogue. Through rediscovered tapes, forgotten works and influences that continue to resonate across producers, songwriters and new generations of artists, the session will trace the portrait of a body of work that remains strikingly modern today. A sonic journey dedicated to a composer who transformed the Italian imagination into a timeless and universal language.
