Nino Nardini

Georges Achille Teperino alias Nino Nardini (1912-1994), was born in Paris of an Italian father and a French mother.
Born in a family of musicians, he started his early career at the age of seven, directing a philharmonic orchestra.
His father,a famous violinist and composer, was his main teacher.
After second world war ended,he began his public apparitions and he dedicated his personal conductor and composer taste to the Spanish and Mexican ethnic and folk-related and percussive music, and along with a bunch of former dependable session club musicians he formed the "Nino Nardini Orchestra" since 1951, when he participated and accompanied with this ensemble "La Chansons de Paris"program at the Theatre Des Champs Elysees.
Then he had many live turbulent late evening shows at the famous "Circus 58" in France, shifting and specializing his original music versus much popular and suitable for dancing form: paso doble,fox trot,calypso,rock and tango.
He directed orchestras of Radio Luxembourg, Radio Circus and Radio Theatre in Paris and took conductor duties even in one itinerant circus, learning all the trickery and particular instruments applied to fun gags arranging songs for the comic jokes spectacles.
At the very beginning of the Sixties he entered slowly the new born world of Music Library in France, Europe and Uk, recording mostly avant-jazz and bop blues and drama scores,using preminently uncommon instruments like Harpsichord, Marimba or Electric organ,just like his old childohood friend Roger Roger was doing around the same time.
This parallel carrer and strong friendship led the two to one overgrowing real musical-partnership, with a costant rate that took the two to finally build up the Studio Ganaro, a personal recording space where they started to work together on composing many kind of music and then heavily experimenting, before many others, on the moog synthesizer.
In particular,Teperino was heavily oriented to innovative experiments with musique-concrete blended with common instruments.
With their first experimental electronic autoproduced TVMusic 101 vinyl, issued in 1969,they fairly attracted the Chappel Music Label representant in France interest and got both under contract for further recording releases.
All the years belonging to the Seventies saw Nardini and Roger highly fusing their musical approach for Illustrative Music for TV and Radio,according to a common job where they where working on same tracks and adding or enhancing what the other may have missed, finally producing some of the most respectable modern Library music, in many cases overcoming the pure background effect of it, and finally delivering what may be now called Modern Easy Electronic music.
The talents of Teperino and Roger where so unique and particularly mind wide, and they where totally free to produce and arrange with Neuilly and then Crea Sound label chief-in-charge Louis Delacour, preminent figure in their carrer and long time friend, during all the seventies until mid eighties,with the result of producing more than 40 records.
The special kind of efforts Teperino and Roger put on modelling same composed music was so specially blended together that actually a proof is given by the online French Sacem Music Publishing catalogue (sacem.fr), who shows how both names are on most of total singular songs of these authors, comprising their pseudonims used along the years for different contractual reasons with different publishers.
Despite the duo was a strong couple,worldwide and French conoisseurs,who became more and more appassionate of their music,are capable of differentiate the ingredients in their ouvres, finally recognizing to Teperino the more far out visionnaire and feerique landmark.
Is said that we owe him the "Canaveral Cap" theme,used for the launching the Apollo II on July 5, 1966.
