    Meet Kristian Sensini – another emerging composer from the cupboards of the production music industry. He was thrilled to interview with Trailer Music Vibe and I am happy present to you now the following interview. Be sure to follow Sensini on Facebook.

    How did you become a composer?
    Since I was really young, I have always enjoyed creating music instead of playing music of other people. I’ve grown up with the greatest movies of the eighties and, thanks to my father, I got to know the Italian Movies from the sixties and the seventies. This of course has represented a big influence on my music.
    I’ve also played in several rock bands and jazz combos (I graduated in Jazz at Pesaro Conservatory in Italy) and people always told me that my instrumental music was really evocative, “like a soundtrack”. This drove me to try and work on my first project, and now to work as a professional composer for films, tv and videogames.

    What inspires you?
    Everything really; obviously I listen to a lot of music (not only soundtracks from the Golden Age of Hollywood, but Rock, Jazz and Classical Music). I usually get inspired by good stories, movies, books and even everyday life with its dark and light moments. I’m not one of those musicians that derives inspiration from just sitting in their studios: I think that the time I spend out of the studio (when I take a walk for example) is as important as the time I spend in it, playing piano and experimenting on melody and harmony.

    What was your defining moment?
    As a composer, I think I’m not a “defined artist”; I mean that I discover new things every day, develop new ideas, try new harmonic/melodic/timbric solutions. I can say that I have at least a defining moment… per week, when I discover something in my music that I particularly like and I’m usually a bit of a critic in my work. Talking about my composer career, I think there have been a couple of “defining” moments: the first full movie scored for an American director (Butterfly Rising by Tanya Wright) and the first nomination I’ve received in 2010 at the Jerry Goldsmith Film Music Awards, in Spain. I’m a composer who lives in a really small town in Italy and it’s sort of difficult to have international visibility, not working in a big city, or in the USA for example. So these international acknowledgments had truly defined my career (I currently have an agent in the USA who helps me find job opportunities outside Italy).

    What can you tell TMV about upcoming projects?
    I’ve just released on Itunes my latest soundtrack, “Hyde’s Secret Nightmare”, from the movie directed by Domiziano Cristopharo.
    The soundtrack will be available on CD in September for Kronos Records. They have released soundtracks composed by some of the best Italian Film Composers, such as Piero Piccioni, Piero Umiliani & Francesco de Masi .
    In this period I’m reading a couple of scripts (for a horror movie and a documentary), but I can’t tell you anything more about these projects…
    In addition, I have just started a group of composers to realize compositions for music libraries and trailer houses http://www.soundalike.net/ (we had some placements for Discovery Channel , History Channel and Mediaset – the biggest tv network in Italy). It’s a lot of fun, because you have more freedom and I may have the chance to make an action cue one day and a cool comedy music cue the next one. I’m lucky enough to work with amazing professionals here in Italy that are helping me create a fantastic catalogue (which you can listen to online on the website).
    For all the news about my works I’d like to invite you to visit me on my official website , my Twitter & IMDB pages.

    Comments?
    Thank you so much for the interview. I’m a fan of your website and I always discover amazing new music there!

    Hyde’s Secret Nightmare su Horrormagazine.it

    La rivista online www.horrormagazine.it ha pubblicato un articolo riguardante il crowfunding per la colonna sonora di Hyde’s Secret Nightmare, grazie alla redazione!

    Hyde’s Secret Nightmare: soundtrack

    Un progetto indipendente per la colonna sonora del nuovo film di Domiziano Cristopharo…

    Parte dal compositore Kristian Sensini il primo tentativo di un crowfunding per far uscire una colonna sonora di un film horror. Si tratta del soundtrack dell’ultimo film di Domiziano Cristopharo (leggi qui la nostra intervista al regista) Hyde’s Secret Nightmare; le bonus track sono invece riferite ai titoli del film P.o.e. Poetry of Eerie.
    La colonna sonora può essere in pratica preordinata e la si riceve per posta appena stampata. Un’opzione per i filmaker permette di fare una donazione maggiore e ricevere in cambio i diritti per utilizzare le musiche del CD nei propri film, o per ricevere una colonna sonora realizzata su misura.
    La scommessa di Sensini è quella di produrre in maniera indipendente il CD, dal compositore ai fan, senza case discografiche intermediarie, ed è anche un modo per dimostrare quanto il genere horror abbia un pubblico interessato alla buona musica.
    Le musiche si ispirano a grandi compositori quali Alex North, Ennio Morricone, Fabio Frizzi, Goblin, Claudio Simonetti, Pino Donaggio, Bernard Hermann, ed esplorano generi che spaziano dalla musica da camera al progressive rock, nello stile del cinema horror degli anni ’70.
    Sensini ha anche composto la musica per il trailer del film, che lo scorso anno ha ricevuto una nomination nella categoria “Music for Promotion” all’International Film Music Awards “Jerry Goldsmith”. Qui è possibile visionarlo e ascoltarlo:
