Description
On the leading edge of NYC�s underground music scene, Vito Ricci produced only a handful of self-�â€released cassettes and one LP between 1983-�â€1985 with most of his work being recorded for experimental theatre and performance art pieces.Taking their label name from Vito Ricci�s only LP, Music From Memory brings together a compilation of works by one of the unsung heroes of New York�s downtown music scene.
Starting out as a percussionist, Ricci�s early musical journey led him to improvised and experimental jazz; working alongside such luminary musicians as Rashied Ali, Byard Lancaster, Peter Zummo and Yousef Yancey.
Quickly becoming involved in the avant-�â€garde scene with spoken word performances, film scores for independent movies and even playing in punk bands with performances at venues such as CBGB�s and Mudd Club, Vito�s own compositions drew on all of these influences whilst channeling them through his experiments with synthesizers and drum computers.
Drawing comparisons with New York�s downtown No-�â€wave scene Vito�s compositions blend his unique use of intricate percussion with a wide sphere of musical influences to create a world of hypnotising ambient, meditative minimal-�â€synth through to dubbed out electronic funk and even left-�â€field boogie. With most of Vito Ricci�s music remaining previously unreleased, Music From Memory�s compilation �I Was Crossing A Bridge� unveils Vito Ricci�s unique and visionary take on electronic music
