A series of mutilated corpses is upsetting
a town in central Italy. Police believe that this is a wolf, but it might not
be a wolf as others…
Statement about the OST
Music in Movie, for me, has always had an actor
role.
I never think of music as such but of an actress
I imagine and direct in the Movie.
In fact, I feel more a Film Director than a
Musician because from music I look for what words don't say. In "Shadow of
the wolf", I tried to put a face to this invisible actress and have her
act alongside the other actors and actresses. In short, I put her in the cast,
giving her an antagonist role. She participates in the dialogues, anticipates
and delays emotions, sometimes she is a shoulder, sometimes she is the one who
plays the main role. Stylistically, this music honors a certain writing of
authors who invented the genre, such as Bernard Herrmann for example (also
because Herrmann, like me, was heavily influenced by guys like Serghjej
Prokofiev i Igor Stravinskij). Clusters, black and white, frequencies, help
to recreate a certain sound, in a certain sense "old style". I always
direct my music myself because I know exactly what to ask for, as a Film
Director does with his actress.

SHADOW OF THE WOLF
Statement about the OST (Film Director)
I have always considered music as my main ally to
move the audience through the narrative arc of our story.
It is a role as important as the one of a key
actor, albeit invisible.
Music is not just a comment, but rather a
subliminal voice that whispers to the ears of the spectator.
I have constantly worked with the composer,
explaining the emotional struggle and the inner workings of the characters in
the scenes, and it has been an extremely stimulating experience.
Great effort has been put also in researching
uncommon blends of instruments, looking for something that could describe the
characters and their emotional journey throughout the evolution of the story.
Each character has a theme and a sound that
intertwines with the others creating a “dialogue”, a sonic footprint that
profoundly defines the atmosphere of the film.
