Gianni Safred, a jazz pianist from Trieste, Italy, emerged as a pioneer in electronic music during the late 1970s. Combining his jazz background with electronic instruments like the Minimoog and Polymoog, he crafted innovative sounds that bridged genres. His 1977 album "Electronic Designs" and the 1978 follow-up "Futuribile" are celebrated for their retro-futuristic compositions, blending electronic disco and jazz elements. These works have been reissued, highlighting Safred's enduring influence on electronic and jazz music.
