On the leading edge of NYC´s underground music scene, Vito Ricci produced only a handful of self-released cassettes and one LP between 1983 - ­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-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-­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-synth through to dubbed out electronic funk and even left--field boogie. With most of Vito Ricci’s music remaining previously unreleased, Music From Memory’s compilation "Was Crossing A Bridge" unveils Vito Ricci´s unique and visionary take on electronic music
