composer’s reel
I’ve composed music for most of the short films that I’ve directed, and, I’ve worked as a composer, orchestrator, and arranger for other short films and theatre shows.
the PAGES OF DESTINY
As well as directing it, I composed the music for “The Pages of Destiny” short film. I tried to write a score capable of enhancing the mysterious atmosphere of the visuals and anticipating Matteo’s desire of exploring the world. Since the short film is set in the 1920’-1930’, I had to write swing and jazz variations of the principal themes.
THE STORY OF A WHISPER
Director and composer for “The Story of a Whisper” short film. I structured this score as a minimal leitmotiv that evolves over time both harmonically and in the orchestration.
SELECTED RE-ScORING OF FILM SCENES
Selected re-scoring exercises of famous film scenes. Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull and Agata e la Tempesta’ re-scorings were selected to play at the final public performance of the film scoring class taught by Oscar Winner Mo. Luis Bacalov at the Accademia Chigiana of Siena in 2013.
CHRIST’S PASSION
Composer for the theater show “Jesus Christ’s Passion” directed by Gianfranco Perriera, Italian play writer. I wrote a piece for orchestra and chorus to enhance the moment of Christ’s death on the cross.
Beyond the fear
Composer for “Beyond the Fear”, short film. The piece was a montage of different film scenes’s depicting the life of the Italian judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino murdered by Cosa Nostra. I had to write an intro-theme in a gangster/pop-orchestral style to introduce the Mafia topic, as well as merging with music all the different bits of scenes taken from multiple movies.
