Daniela Casa

Daniela Casa (February 6, 1944 - 28 July 1986) was an Italian composer and early pioneer of experimental pop music, abstract electronics, giallo jazz, and drone. In an alternate universe, the Rome-born female synthesist would be a household name, her music joins the dots and loops between other Italian female electronic composers such as Giulia De Mutiis (later Giulia Alessandroni), Doris Norton and Suzanne Ciani, while retaining one of the most individualistic and diverse composing styles of an electronic music composer of her era.

Sound Daniela Casa is an Italian cult composer of library music. She composed atmospheric soundscapes using synthesisers, piano, classical and electric guitar.

Music career Once destined for a shelf life within the storage rooms of defunct TV studios, Daniela's previously strictly commercially unavailable music has in recent years been given new lease of life at the hands of open-minded disc detectives and sonic salvage hunters. Casa's distinctive take on experimental instrumental landscapes and movie compositions place her next to her widely respected male counterparts such as Alessandro Alessandroni, AR Luciani, Pierro Umiliani, Morricone and Nicolai. Sharing tight studio space and strict syndication schedules with all of the aforementioned artists (under commission from Romano Di Bari's fervently independent Flipper music factory) Casa embraced a liberating wind change in affordable music technology which opened doors for experimental solo compositions in home studios, taking advantage of shared recording consoles and domestic synthesizers which nurtured a lesser-documented creative family tree (or rather secret society) which also paved the way for more well-known projects such as Magnetic System's Fabio Frizzi and Goblin's Claudio Simonetti.

Casa recorded and published xx albums and xx film scores
