Tidbeats is a play on the word tidbits. Those that lay, forgotten, in the vault of Cinevox Record are truly “delicious morsels”. Treasures searched for, discovered and restored in a unique score by Alessio Santoni, over two years of uninterrupted seclusion between the shelves of Cinevox and the recording studios of Trafalgar Studios. It resulted in a surprising sound mosaic composed of 161 unheard-of takes, for a total of over two hours of listening, embellished here and there by unexpected cameos: sometimes, between one song and another, indications to the musicians from the composers, captured on the original Studer tracks. A rigorous philological endeavor and at the same time a very attentive work of mixing tone and rhythm. Themes, variants, detachments, interludes handled like precious fragments of a collective dream recomposed, elements of the viaticum for a new musical pilgrimage along the golden age of Italian cinema.
