World premiere of previously unreleased
suspense score, written by Coriolano 'Lallo' Gori for a 1972
Italian giallo!
La Morte Scende Leggera stars Stelio Candelli (former star
of Vendetta) as a drug smuggler who finds his wife dead upon
his return.
Realizing that he may be the first suspect due to no alibi,
he asks his lawyer to hide him until the police can find the
real killer.
The smuggler is housed in an abandoned motel with his lover,
but the first few pleasant hours soon turn into nightmare
as the smuggler begins hallucinating and communicating with
ghosts whose life eerily mirrors his own problems.
Little does he know that he is placed in a trap that would
make Hamlet proud.
The music is provided by the underappreciated Lallo Gori,
one of the more colorful characters of the Italian film music
scene.
Quartet Records proud to present this haunting, yet tuneful
suspense score that follows the smuggler's descent into madness.
The music is headlined by the song Sunday In Neon Light performed
by the Mak Sigis Porter Ensemble.
Although this song wasn't written by Gori (it wasn't even
penned for the film), the composer designed his orchestration
to match the song and creates a memorable, haunting tapestry
of madness, mod and psychadelia. |
