With DinsiemE

Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd

Italy Theater on March 23, 2023

The legendary journey, film directed by Alessio Liguori, sees the DinsiemE bored while it rains outside and are forced to stay at home. To sweep away the boring air comes a mysterious package, which contains a video game entitled “The Legendary Journey”. The two find themselves sucked into the game and into another dimension, known as Legendary. Here they clash with the evil Dr. Timoti and will understand that the game does not follow the laws of physics, but a logic at the levels of the video game.

During this adventure in this magical world Erick and Dominick (Erick Parisi and Dominick Alaimo) they will run into the brave Princess Ginevra (Sofia Iacuitto) and the philosopher Plato (Gianni Franco), with whom they will team up to face Sir Romualdo (Herbert Ballerina) and Captain Sarrangia (Riccardo Cicogna). To make peace reign, however, the DinsiemE must defeat Dr. Giniu, brother of Dr. Timoti, intent on overthrowing the legitimate rulers of the kingdom of Legendary, Romeo and Isabella, or the twins of Erick and Dominick. Can the pair win the last level and save Legendary?

Statement from Director Alessio Liguori

Il Viaggio Leggendario marks my second collaboration with maestro Fabrizio Mancinelli after The Boat, continuing a professional partnership that is reinforced by a strong friendship.  Fabrizio’s versatility allows him to jump seamlessly from one genre to another, as shown by us previously working together on a thriller and now on a fantasy feature for children. Working with Fabrizio is always exciting and inspiring.

The music of Il Viaggio Leggendario is incredibly emotional and progresses into an emotional crescendo all the way through the end, transporting the viewer into an enchanted world where adventure and rhythm are king. Influences from the last century’s cinematic art are greatly evident in Fabrizio’s music, enriched by his modern amazing and unique traits.  Once again, through his music, Maestro Mancinelli masterfully manages to deeply touch our souls. I am confident no one will be disappointed by this exciting new adventure.

Statement from Composer Fabrizio Mancinelli

For this second time working together with Alessio Liguori, I understood right away I was in for a true adventure.  Pirates, villains, heroes, knights and even an 8-bit video game and recreation of a silent horror movie were involved!

I rearranged recurring themes into a multitude of different styles and for a wide array of ensembles.  It felt like traveling back in time and I truly enjoyed this special experience!

Film Music and Intimate exploration…

Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd

Intimate exploration on contempory classical music.

Amazing experience of a youngest film music composer.

A promise for the futures scores.

COMPOSER STATEMENT

The collection of compositions presented here represents an intimate exploration of my personal experiences and emotions. Each piece is a window into a specific moment in my life, from the fond memories evoked by a melody I’ve held dear since childhood, to the raw vulnerability of a composition born from a difficult period. The use of classical instruments such as strings, piano and accordion is intertwined with modern elements like synths, pads and electric guitar to create a unique and dynamic soundscape. This project was an opportunity for me to break free from my usual creative boundaries and to experiment with new forms of expression. It was a journey of self-discovery, one that allowed me to tap into my deepest emotions, and to create something that not only evokes a profound emotional response in others but also fills me with pride and accomplishment.

Retrouvailles sur un air de jazz…

Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd

Cd Digital, Cd Physical – Limited Edition

The album “Sombre” marks the return of the jazz trio EDS. After a break of nearly two decades, the bet was daring: record in a few days the album of the reunion. Alchemy works more than ever! Their playing has matured and marries the freedom and complicity acquired through a long practice of pure improvisation with the clarity of themes and compositions…

The lyricism and fluidity of Stéphane Sassi’s piano dialogue with the atmospheric and sonic richness of Vincent Géraud’s drums, all carried by the flawless pulsation, breaths and depth of Raphaël Commerçon’s bass.

More than darkness, this album explores a range of chiaroscuro with various shades… We let ourselves be carried away in the enchantment of swaying melodies, throbbing ostinatos, or peaceful ballads that illuminate the colorful grays of “Sombre”, for a gentle journey …

When Momo, Hugo and his cactus, Adolfo meet one night, they are heading in opposite directions. Their encounter will not only magically change the course of their lives, but also encourage them to embrace the beauty of the unexpected….

The first conversation I had with Gus and Andrés was about the night. We talked about how the night sounds and feels, how noises and lights and everything that is not important fades away, so it becomes a space that can be lonely but at the same time very intimate. I think we were all kind of fascinated by the idea of creating that progression with the music in the film. From there we landed on the tone, which quickly started revolving around the word nostalgia. Then we just explored, and what is so beautiful about what Gus and Andrés accomplished with this score is how they told a story that revolves so much around loss and pain with such bright and luminous music, playing such an important part in defining the film.

A Valentine Day message…

Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd

Near You tells the beginnings of a love story: the first date, the first weekends, the first holidays, all the excitement and the happiness of being with the loved one.

For Near You, I sought an atmosphere of serenity, fulfillment and happiness, using orchestral sounds, the softness of the flutes, the nobility of the horns, the scintillation of the chromatic percussions, the sensuality of the cello and the voices. The last track (“The Walk Of The Little Clown Chicken”), a nod to the loved one, uses baby piano and takes the form of a “walk” inspired by Henry Mancini.

Stop motion animations, dance and performance accompany the testimonies of different women from Sonora, Mexico, who share their experiences and thoughts on pleasure and sexuality.

COMPOSERS STATEMENT

We were born in Sonora, a border state between the US and Mexico. Our state’s regional music typically features the accordion as the main instrument. Jessica Quiroz, the director, told us she wanted to use the accordion in her short film to portray her roots through the music. This was interesting for us to explore because we had never used the accordion in our scores before. We experimented by using the accordion as a root instrument and sampling and converting it into synths. This allowed us to portray our culture through our own unique sound as composers.

Un film de Lucien Jean-Baptiste

Cast Lucien Jean-Baptiste, Firmine Richard…

Musique de Erwann Kermorvant

Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd

When Jean-Gabriel’s perfectly organized family ski holiday turns into a multi-generational, logistical and emotional nightmare, only he still believes he can pull it off…

For this sequel to “The First Star” Lucien JEAN-BAPTISTE set the tone from the first working meeting : “Home Alone”. So we opted for a very orchestral and fast score, filled with “Sleigh Belt” and “flying wood”. But, just like in the first part, the emotion is also very present. A real Christmas movie! Once again I called on the incredible talent of the Philharmonie in London to record all these notes.

“With Erwann it is a long and beautiful story guided by the success of “The First Star”.

A complicity was born. The music of this “second star” is a continuity.

Assuming the tone of “Christmas movies” with melodies that have nothing to envy to the great classics

Hollywood of the genre. listen…!

IRATI

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

IRATI

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

A film by Paul Urkijo Alijo

Music by Aránzazu Calleja & Maite Arroitajauregi

GOYAS 2023 Nomination – Best Soundtrack – Best Song

Selection Festival Stiges – San Sebastian – Gerardmer

Follows Irati, a young girl who will guide a group of Christian and Muslim warriors through a journey in an ancient mythological world where everything that has a name exists, in an attempt to recover a lost treasure…

PAUL URKIJO ALIJO – Director

The key of the soundtrack of Irati was to underscore the duality within the story. On one hand, it had to be epic, wide and christian, supporting the concept of medieval movies. On the other side, it should represent the world of the pagan animism, magical and obscure, of the basque mythology.

The first part is more classical, more orchestral. The second part more is suggestive, telluric and experimental. The two worlds converge in the encounter of the two characters, each one with its own melody, that end merging into a unique theme. All this through sounds, textures and themes which bring us to the 8th century. 

The song IZENA DUENA BADA, as a tradicional copla, talks about the genesis and the pantheon of the basque’s mythological world collected in hundreds of stories transmitted orally. Mari, supreme goddess, mother earth, protects and punishes her daughters and sons justly. A world full of magic deities that will continue to exist as long as someone remember their names.

MAITE ARROITAJAUREGI, ARANZAZU CALLEJA – Composers

The main challenge when composing the music for Irati was to find the epic but at the same time, do it in a kind of original and personal way. The lack of sources of the music of VIII century in that context of confrontation between pagans and christians, allowed us the use the imagination in the process of defining both the textures and instrumentation of the score.

Izzy is an energetic 9-year-old. Overscheduled and running late, her parents can’t pick her up on time on the last day of school before Christmas break. A blizzard complicates the matter, but not as much so as a pair of bad guys who are freezing in an ice cream truck. The school janitor is kidnapped by them, and it’s up to Izzy to save the day.

It’s close to Christmas and nine-year-old Izzy (Cameron Seely) is desperate to get a new guitar. Her parents have promised to take her after school if they can be bothered. You see, Izzy’s parents are ridiculously consumed with their very busy jobs, to the extent that they borderline neglect their two children. So off Izzy goes to school where she spends quite a lot of time with Ray the Janitor who teaches her the guitar. Then a blizzard hits, the school closes early and all parents must come and get their kids. All except Izzy’s. We’ve already established that they are not the most reliable people.

By now, Ray has realised that Izzy is on her own in the school and goes back to get her. He then gets kidnapped by the thieves who don’t know Izzy is still there. All the while the idiot parents have crashed their car, and are attempting to get to the school by other means. That includes trying to rob a snow ski, which they also crash. I told you they’re idiots.

Of course, this is primarily a kid’s Christmas movie so everything works out in the end. Christmas Break-In is basically Home Alone with a girl in a school. Sadly, it doesn’t have any of the same comic genius, decent script or plot as it’s predecessor. To the woman on IMDB who gave it two reviews, both with 10 stars – what were you thinking????

Blue Story is a tragic tale of a friendship between Timmy and Marco, two young boys from opposing postcodes. Timmy, a shy, smart, naive and timid young boy from Deptford, goes to school in Peckham where he strikes up a friendship with Marco, a charismatic, streetwise kid from the local area. Although from warring postcodes, the two quickly form a firm friendship until it is tested and they wind up on rival sides of a street war.
