    In a year where BSOSpirit Association begins its collaboration with the Festival of Malaga, and specifically with its new and exciting project, the Movie Score Malaga – MOSMA, we posed several challenges to achieve. First, give the awards a projection we’ve always wanted for them. And Malaga is the perfect place, thanks to the organizational skills and experience of such a prestigious team like the one that is behind this important Spanish Film Festival.

    Another challenge was to review the bases of the awards. There were composers who, although no longer young in age, they were young in spirit, and they felt were prevented to participate in these awards because the awards limited participation to young age composers.

    In recent years we were raising our hand regarding thisissue, and we think that from this second stage of our “Jerrys” once we passed our first decade of existence, we should revise our regulations and open these awards to all those who feel young of spirit when composing for the audiovisual media and not only of young age.

    Those who would like to see enhanced, and sometimes to let their wonderful work be discovered. Or those who feel that these awards are a clear representation of that reason why, one day, they decided to become music composers for the audiovisual media. Perhaps because of the great name that sponsors this awards, the late great Jerry Goldsmith, a composer with an undying young spirit.

    This new and exciting era for the awards, start now. And it does so, with an exemplary in regards of the level of its participants. More than 110 composers from three continents, and more than 260 jobs in 11 categories that this year conformed this XI edition of the Jerry Goldsmith Awards.

  • Nomination at X Jerry Goldsmith Award

    September 29, 2015

    I’m happy to share this news with you, I’ve received my 10th nominee at the Jerry Goldsmith Film Music Awards (5 years in a row !)

    banner-jerryX

    The nomination is in the category “Best original soundtrack for advertising” for the trailer of the webseries “I 7 giorni della fine del Mondo”.

    Here’s the video to listen to the music:

    The main idea I wanted to convey through the music for “Seven days to the end of the World” was clearly that of impending doom, a strong feeling of fear and anxiety – the same we can recognize in the voice of the actress in the trailer. The second part is more elaborate, adding such other elements as strength and even hope, but still retaining some kind of deep uncertainty.

    And here’s the link to the awards website, fingers crossed!

    NOMINATION FOR BEST SONG

    http://jerrygoldsmith.bsospirit.com/nominados/2013/cancion

    MI CHIAMO GIULIA E HO PAURA: “Oggi no”

    Music: Kristian Sensini. Lyrics:  Agnese Flagiello. Performed by Laura Bruno

    Seventh nomination for Kristian Sensini (Loreto, Italy, 1976), who is also nominated in the Promotional category, and second for Agnese Flagiello.

    It’s a song I wrote for a short film dealing with violence against women. The composition was written for the main titles of this really dramatic movie, and the idea was to let the audience leave the theatre with a message of hope. The lyrics follow this idea too: women can fight for freedom and must say no to violence. I wanted to express this sense of rebellion and hope through music, so we’ve worked with the singer Laura Bruno on the way the song had to be performed, cause the risk was to express too much a drama that is simply too clear to be overemphasized with vocals. The song is orchestrated for a small ensemble, mainly piano and cello, just to keep the atmosphere really intimate, and the continuing changing harmony is the expression of the different and changing feelings a woman may have against a violent lover. The melodic intervals of the voice and the total extension of the melody itself are wide, and are used to highlight the desire of freedom of that woman, her determination for a better life without violence. The music and the lyrics have been written in just one day, and this surely adds to a strong and really emotional reaction on this topic.

    NOMINATION FOR BEST IN PROMOTION

    KRISTIAN SENSINI. LE RADICI DI UNA SCARPA

    Seventh nomination for Kristian Sensini (Loreto, Italy, 1976), who is also nominated in the Song category.

    The idea was to consider this corporate video more like a short movie or a documentary, and to explore through music all the emotions and the feelings I had about it. The video is about the traditional shoemaking (by hand) in a factory of my region (Marche), an area which represents the heart of the Italian footwear industry. To me, the topic was particularly interesting, my great-grandfather was a traditional cobbler, so was my grandfather, and my father still works in the modern footwear industry, so – yes – I’m the first in my family to do a job that doesn’t deal with shoes… I thought it was amazing, in a way or another, to work on a project like this, for a matter of roots and tradition. I chose to write 3 string quartets, to express a more intimate and emotional sound, with a touch of popular/traditional Italian feeling: the warmth of old traditions, the beauty of time that flows gently, the respect for nature and for work. I wanted to express the idea of how pleasing and satisfying the manual labor could be.
