All the musicians feature on the new collection, which contains seven previously unreleased tracks. It is available digitally and on CD\/vinyl now, plus a special deluxe edition is also available to pre-order <a href=\"http:\/\/Morricone.lnk.to\/Segreto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The documentary recording and reunion took place at the historic Forum Music Village, the studio in Rome \u2013 founded by Morricone himself in 1970, along with Armando Trovajoli, Luis Bacalov and Piero Piccioni \u2013 where many of Morricone\u2019s famous soundtracks were recorded, including &#8216;Once Upon a Time in America&#8217; (1984) and &#8216;Cinema Paradiso&#8217; (1988). The musicians were joined by Marco Patrignani, President of the Forum Music Village, and Morricone\u2019s eldest son, Marco. Today, the Forum Studios are considered a real \u201ctemple of the soundtrack\u201d, having characterised the legendary sound of the Maestro over the last 50 years and given a voice to many other internationally renowned artists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the reunion, Marco Morricone shared his thoughts on the new album:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe pieces included in this collection are perhaps less known, but they are the result of an incredible experimentation process and constant study, guided by total submersion in the great sea of notes. This path led him to know the instruments and the orchestra so well, that it is almost as if he had come to know the whole human knowledge. Dad had the courage to go further, to throw himself in the middle and do everything\u2026 In these exciting tracks I recognise my father.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new release is a treasure trove of rare and forgotten pieces and alternate takes from the historical archives of\u00a0CAM Sugar.\u00a0Morricone Segreto explores what is possibly Morricone\u2019s richest creative period, between the end of the 1960s to the early 80s, demonstrating\u00a0his long-lasting influence on generations of musicians and film directors to this day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among those influenced by Morricone is Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer, who says of the new release:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cEnnio Morricone always surprised and delighted. And, here is a last surprise, a last delightful gift for us.\u00a0 It shows an artist at his most imaginative, daring, yet charming. Stretching some concepts of music to their most surrealistic limits, and probably asking near impossible commitment from his musicians. These are chamber pieces. As a film-composer myself, I suspect they were written when the budget didn\u2019t quite stretch to a big symphony orchestra. What to do? Use your imagination and delight your audience with audacity, charm and the brilliance of invention. Others tried this. But, only Ennio could consistently succeed. And however abstract the music becomes, it is always and forever pure Ennio \u2013 the Maestro.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Morricone Segreto features seven original pieces which have never been released before. The collection is an acid-tinged sonic journey through mysterious voices, fuzz guitars, airy strings, eerie synths and modern grooves from the composer who was always ahead of the trend, dictating style in his own way. Listeners can hear a selection of scores where Morricone managed to create his unique and unmistakable style, blending an array of genres including avant-garde with the finest pop-psych sounds. Highlights include extracts from\u00a0Lui Per Lei,\u00a0Stark System, La Smagliatura,\u00a0and\u00a0Il Clan Dei Siciliani.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oscar-winning composer Morricone passed away at the age of 91 earlier this year. During an extraordinary career, he created\u00a0over 600 original soundtracks and became an icon of 20<sup>th<\/sup> century Italian and Hollywood cinema.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Behind his hugely celebrated film scores of &#8216;Once Upon A Time In The West&#8217;, &#8216;Once Upon A Time In America&#8217;, &#8216;The Untouchables&#8217;, &#8216;The Mission&#8217;, &#8216;Cinema Paradiso&#8217;, &#8216;The Hateful Eight&#8217;, and &#8216;The Good, The Bad and The Ugly&#8217;,\u00a0is a hidden, eccentric side to his genius that is deeply appreciated amongst his fans, many other artists and connoisseurs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Morricone Segreto&#8217; is proof that even the most celebrated icons can hold musical secrets yet to be unveiled. His legacy lives on through those he inspired and the musical landscape he helped to shape throughout the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century and beyond.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Morricone Segreto is out now on CAM Sugar \/ Decca Records.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>The mini-documentary &#8216;Celebrating Ennio Morricone: The Secrets Behind His Genius&#8217; premieres on YouTube at 2pm GMT, Tuesday 10<sup>th<\/sup> November.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find out more on Ennio Morricone&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/EnnioMorricone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube channel<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/camsugarmusic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CAM Sugar&#8217;s official website<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/camsugarmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/camsugarmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To commemorate what would have been Ennio Morricone\u2019s 92nd birthday, his closest collaborators have reunited for the first time in years at his studio in Rome.
