Italian percussionist Andrea Centazzo (1948) organized the spectacular sextet of Environment for Sextet (november 1978) with John Zorn on reeds, Toshinori Kondo on trumpet, Tom Cora on cello, Eugene Chadbourne on guitars and Polly Bradfield on violin.
His solo-percussion triple-LP Indian Tapes (august 1980) was inspired by
Native-American percussion and birdsongs of the American Southwest.
He formed the Mitteleuropa Orchestra to perform larger-scale works. First
documented on the live Mitteleuropa (december 1980), the orchestra
specialized in concertos for small orchestra such as
Doctor Faustus (1983),
Cjant (june 1983) and
Omaggio a Pier Paolo Pasolini (composed in 1985, recorded in august 1988).
Later in the decade he focused on multimedia events.
Infinity Squared (july 2006) documented a live duet with guitarist
Henry Kaiser.
Snowplow (march 2010) documents a collaboration between Andrea Centazzo and guitarist Elliott Sharp.
Escape From 2012 (february 2010) documents a collaboration with Zappa's veteran pianist Don Preston, here on synthesizer, piano, double bass, and electronics.
