Library composer Daniela Casa (7 albums)




















Mentioned earlier in relation to the beginning of the pandemic in Italy with the foresightful library title Societa Malata, which I enjoyed greatly, I decided to seek out more from this artist with the discogs bio:

Daniela Casa (Roma, February 6, 1944 - † Roma, 28 July 1986) was an Italian singer and songwriter, wife of artist Remigio Ducros and mother of singer Valentina Ducros.

While the Italian wiki page is wonderfully translated:

Daughter of a motorboat builder, Daniela Casa graduated from the art school. During the school period he studied singing and guitar with the teacher Claudio De Angelis.

It was discovered in 1963 and put under contract by Fonit , a label that made it participate in the same year in the Grand Prix , a program combined with the New Year's Lottery , in the Lazio team , in which it presents its own version of Senza fine , the famous song by Gino Paoli .

The following year he took part in Un disco per estate 1964 with Beati voi , a song written by Marco Luberti for the text and Luberti with Enrico Simonetti for the music. However, the song does not arrive in the final. In 1965 he arrives at the Piper Club in Rome where he forms the duo Dany & Gepy with Giampiero Scalamogna , specializing in the reproposition of covers of soul and rhythm & blues singers.

In the following years he devoted himself to composition, while continuing to record, and achieved success with Regularly , recorded by Mina , and Tell me what you are still waiting for , which Dominga brings to Un disco for the summer of 1970 .

In 1971 he recorded Uomo , a song that became the theme song for the television program Storie di donne . In the seventies he also recorded some albums of instrumental, experimental, electronic and easy listening music.

I guess it's worth mentioning it's rare to see a female library composer, the only other one that comes to mind is the beautiful French artist called Laurence Vanay (Jacqueline Thibault), who was married of course to progmaster Laurent Thibault.

Societa Malata's Ignoto:





It's interesting too that despite the commercial biography as written above she had a true predilection for more modern classical, composed, sometimes experimental or abstract or atonal music, which adds a lot of interest here.  You can see that in the track called Sovrapposizione Di Immagini from Arte Moderne:




Clearly a remarkable composer.

I included in 2 packages the albums Le Sport (very little from her there), Idee 1 (same),  Societa Malada, Art Moderne, America Giovane No. 2, Vernissage 2, and the compilation which was also called Sovrapposizione Di Immagini.

  4. Outstanding!!! My inner-geek/nerd Library completist rejoices!! :D
    There may be a couple in here I have not sampled yet either :) :) :)
    Societa Malada & Art Moderne are darkly bejeweled eerie classics....
    I could see a Lp made back from the heydeys on Mars containing elements found within... ;) (before ole Mars was deliberately trashed by the same galactic scumbags still running amok today, pushing their stagnant narrative of psy OP lies & BS psych-jobs, with as many crisis actors flooding the streets as the alphabets can hire...)
    Thanks again for all the recent goodies :)
    I got some listening to do! Roll em!!! ;)
