Fabio Borgazzi (24 April 1920 - 3 August 2011), also known as Fabio Fabor,

was one of the most prolific library music composers in Italy between the 1960s and 1980s.
A versatile and multi-talented musician, he explored almost all existing genres, from classical to jazz, 

from pop to electronic music, and released hundreds of records through his own publishing company, Minstrel,

and its numerous sub-labels, such as World, Hard, Flam, Fonovideo and Ring.
"Pape Satan" was originally released on the Hard label in 1980 and has become a cult record,

one often regarded as a groundbreaking exploration of electronic music.
In this work Borgazzi makes extensive use of synthesizers (ARP 2600, ARP 3620, ARP Omni and Roland System 700),

percussion, keyboard instruments (piano, harpsichord, Fender Rhodes) and voices,

developing an abstract and experimental electro-acoustic soundtrack to a dark and infernal environment,

or, as Borgazzi himself explained in the liner notes, an "eschatological-Dantesque environment

caught in its side of transcendent imagination metaphysics and, sometimes, even ironic interpretation.".
