THE CASE OF THE SCORPION’S TAIL (LA CODA DELLO SCORPIONE)
SOUNDTRACK
Maestro Bruno Nicolai knew how to put in music the macabre homicides of that event, writing a dissonant music soaked with elements of avant-garde and jazz. The soundtrack is enriched by two romantic yet nostalgic themes, as background of the love story of the protagonists. For this publication we used every take found in the original masters.
YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED ROOM AND ONLY I HAVE A KEY (IL TUO VIZIO È UNA STANZA CHIUSA E SOLO IO NE HO LA CHIAVE)
SOUNDTRACK
Maestro Bruno Nicolai wrote a monothematic score based on variations of a nostalgic and romantic classical adagio for strings and harpsichord. All the horrifying aspects of this story are described through a series of drammatic and atonal themes, alternated to the classic adagio.
ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK (TUTTI I COLORI DEL BUIO)
SOUNDTRACK
Bruno Nicolai wrote and directed one of his best soundtracks for thriller genre. The soundtrack is mainly based on orchestral dark passages, sometimes rythmic, sometimes atmospheric, which give a great sense of constant stress. Other than the romatic love theme, the soundtrack includes another very important theme: that for the “Sabba” in coral version and lounge-psychedelic version with Beat arrangements, performed by Alessandroni’s Modern Cantors. It also contains the sitar execution of the great Alessandro Alessandroni.
THE CASE OF THE BLOODY IRIS (PERCHÉ QUELLE STRANE GOCCE DI SANGUE SUL CORPO DI JENNIFER?)
SOUNDTRACK
Bruno Nicolai wrote a romantic theme for Jennifer, which is re-taken in various versions during the whole soundtrack. The main theme has dark and dissonant strings passages, which make the listener feel tense and distressed.
