This first music is from the terrific short film "Selezione del personale", by the Italian Director Simone Andrizzi. The main actor is Maurizio Desinan As of now it's not possible to show you any part of the movie, since it's running around in festivals etc., but you can listen to some of the music. Here is the title track.

The following samples are taken from the soundtracks of two radio dramas, Bonnie & Clyde (directed by Idalberto Fei) and Rasputin (directed by Ida Bassignano), both produced for Italian Public Radio "Radio 2". I've selected just a few of the many pieces that I've composed for these shows. (These five pieces are published by RaiTrade, so we will need their permission should anybody be interested in using them.) The listener should keep in mind that this music was composed to accompany scenes with dialogues and/or ambient noises, and that should be taken into consideration especially if you listen to the complete pieces. With agreement from the directors, I chose not to produce “period pieces,” not to mimic the music of the epochs in which these radio dramas take place. Nevertheless, there are occasional hints related to the prevailing style of those times. For all examples you'll find a short version and the complete piece.

In this scene, Rasputin is sick and delirious in a hospital bed. He hears voices that aren't there. |

Rasputin was a pig, or so he was portrayed. He liked to have orgies, claiming that in order to get to heaven, one needs to experience depravation. In any case, this is the music written for his feasts. |

Bonnie and Clyde's lives were full of adventure, but at times even they had to wait for something - sitting outside a bank for the most opportune time to break in, for example. Here the music reflects what goes on in their minds in moments like these. |

Bonnie was initially a very good girl. Then... she could not resist the temptations of a different kind of life and embraced it without hesitation. I wrote this particular theme to represent temptation in the '30s. |

Bonnie and Clyde were always on the run, so I wrote this piece with a strong rhythm, and a very simple (but hopefully intriguing) music. |
