Amok was one of the pseudonyms used by Enrico Piva, a prolific soundscape artist from Rezzato, Brescia Italy, and under this moniker was active between 1981 and 1985 during which time 6 cassette albums were released. This piece is from the last of these.

Enrico also recorded under the pseudonyms of Edo, Fehlera, L’Oeil a Paris, Locus Solus, M. Antipyrine, Ready-Made, Unit 06 and Sokol Movement, releasing no less than 7 cassette albums by these ‘groups’ in 1981 alone.

Continuing to record and release under his own name, Enrico released a further 6 cassette albums between 1987 and 1990. This is from 1987.

Enrico appears to have gone silent after 1990. Discogs records that Enrico died in 2002, aged just 46.
