Choosing the right music to set the ambience for demanding subjects such as art and culture, creative work, contemporary history or social processes poses an eternal challenge. May we suggest Francesco Martini's "Noisy Conversations"?

Piano, double bass and drums intertwine with each other associatively, subliminally evoking scenes of nocturnal city life and the 20th century. The jazz age.
Subdued, jazzy piece with sporadic, rarely thematic drum interjections. Piano and double bass are juxtaposed in fragmented scales, sequences and arpeggios with no clear musical center. Complex communicative situations, not without potential for conflict, might sound this way.
Walking bass and phasy fusion organ conjure up swirly psychedelic inner worlds, driven by a frenzied swing beat. Equally suited for depicting altered states of mind as well as to act as an in-between music for audio plays with a familiar retro appeal.
Another psychedelic fusion jazz piece with walking bass and hammond organ. For historical features about unsteady times and an air buzzing with social change.
A lonely, reverberated trumpet is floating over a soundscape of staccato notes on the piano and rumbling low frequencies, joined by sparse double bass notes with a searching quality.
Soft electric piano sounds meander slightly aimlessly over a pad of walking bass and swing drums. Uncertainty and doubt may be expressed thus, albeit not entirely hopelessly so.
Synth electric guitar and drums, complemented by a bell-like electric piano with a pulsating tremolo effect and an organ, complete the sonic signature of seminal fusion albums of the 1980s.
Piano, metallophone and drums are juxtaposed in free interplay without any recognizable principle of order. Chaos and conflict as well as creatively inspiring friction hover in the air.
A low kick drum rumble, so faint it's barely audible, opens up a jammy fusion piece with a bell-like electric piano, direct-sounding, virtuoso electric bass-playing and restrained drums.
