Since the music was written before filming began, it was possible to have it played on set, allowing the actors to synchronize their movements to its rhythm. I vividly recall the moment when F. Murray Abraham was required to dance half-naked while my music was blasting through powerful speakers—a memory that fills me with pride. However, beyond this fleeting sense of delight, a deeper realization emerged: the music no longer belonged to me. This feeling became most profound when I was asked to per...

  MARCO FEDALTO – Album “Il Cinema Suonato” Cinema must be listened to... not just watched! Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd Since its inception, cinema has attained artistic worth 80% of the time (if not even 90%) due to its music. This is because the visual aspect is, first of all, narrated by the musical notes which have always expressed the “unsaid” underlying the images.   Therefore, cinema should firstly be played to be understood viscerally, and, only then, as something integral, scripted, acted, directed, photographed, set designed, edited acoustically and visually, and then worked by hand.
