Goffredo Haus – Musiche Per Poche Parti (1989, CD, Italy)

Lonely sole release from Italian musician/ computer scientist Goffredo Haus with his '90 display Musiche Per Poche Parti. Obviously inspired by the rich legacy of Italian minimalism, this one fits more at home with the likes of Cacciapaglia, Raffaele Serra and more specifically Franco Nanni, although what sets it apart is this clean, almost non-human feel owed in part to Haus' pioneering work with computer-generated algorithmic compositions. There's heavily synthesised, minimalist patterns delicately stitched together, exploring unusual time signatures and textures, yet the highlight is the extended 'Cielo' - a lush, distinctly Mediterranean piece of FM digital synthesis.
