Spreading unrest in dark lands
(Whatitdo Archive Group is a Cinematic/Exotica/Funk band from Reno, NV, formed by Aaron Chiazza, Alexander Korostinsky and Mark Sexton; the movie itself was understood to be unusual for its time: a
globetrotting adventure/western-noir written and directed by aspiring
visionary, Stefano Paradisi. Unfortunately for Paradisi, the tragic loss
of his masterpiece during a fire also meant the end of his short lived
career in movies.
People who worked on the film have been cited as
saying this film was very ambitious, set to be a turning point in
Paradisi’s carrier putting him on the map alongside the likes of Sergio
Leone and Antonioni; long thought to be lost alongside the movie itself by the production
studio, the soundtrack's master reels were recently recovered and its
audio meticulously restored and remastered by J.J. Golden in Ventura,
CA., while the movie never saw the light of day, the soundtrack by Whatitdo Archive Group has thankfully been recovered).

Possa la terra essere leggera per te, Maestro
(Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) was an Italian composer, orchestrator, conductor, and former trumpet
player, writing in a wide range of musical styles. Since 1961,
Morricone composed over 400 scores for cinema and television, as
well as over 100 classical works).
(1928-2020)
In memory of one of the greatest composers in history, his music will accompany us forever in the depths of our souls, with the melancholy of the trumpeter who plays a solo in the rain and the joy of the lonely traveler who can see a new dawn.

La canzone dell'inesauribile bellezza
(Edda Dell'Orso (Genova, 1935) is an Italian singer known for her collaboration with composer Ennio Morricone, for whom she provided haunting wordless vocals to a large number of his film scores. Dell'Orso also provided vocals to scores of other Italian composers such as Bruno Nicolai, Piero Piccioni, Luis Bacalov and Roberto Pregadio, where her dramatic voice was deployed as an instrument for the first
time and to revolutionary effect. The singer's sensuous and often
playful vocals help provide tense atmospheres and dreamy moods to these
soundtracks).
