http://www.colonnesonore.net/news/premi-e-concorsi/3613-colonnesonorenet-awards-2014-winners-announced.html

I’m really proud to share this news with you :

The soundtrack I wrote for the animation movie “Rocks in my Pockets” directed by Signe Baumane, won the Colonne Sonore.net Awards 2014

“In the category Best Music for a Foreign Film—young composer Kristian Sensini wins the top prize thanks to his sensitive and moving score to the Latvian animated film Rocks In My Pockets.

A surprising win, made even more impressive considering the tough competition among the nominees (who included top names like Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore and James Newton Howard among others).”

Here are the voting results: of course Rocks in my Pockets ISN’T the Best Soundtrack of 2014 (c’mon! The Hobbit Just 4,1% and Maleficent 9,6% ? ), but I’m happy to read that my listeners wanted to support my work , thank you!
