Experimental electronic IDM musician Vincenzo Ramaglia has shared his latest single and video, 'La parole 7' (feat. Laure Le Prunenec) via PEM Records. The track, which has premiered via Son Of Marketing, is lifted from his upcoming album La parole, to be released 24 January, and is entirely conceived via an electronic setup without a computer. The album features the impressive vocals of Laure Le Prunenec who is the singer of many known and interesting projects, including worldwide acclaimed French band Igorrr (supporter of Ministry on their 2018 North American tour). Before his electronic breakthrough, the Italian composer won the TIM (Tournoi International de Musique) for orchestral work. Ramaglia's soundtrack also accompanied John Turturro for the award-winning Ore 2: calma piatta (Mikado Film). However, the main web and paper music magazines of the Italian scene - including Ondarock, Rockerilla, Blow Up, Sentireascoltare, and Rumore - showed great appreciation first of all for his experimental albums.
