Emerging Composer at the Apulia Sountrack Awards

I was selected as one of the Emerging Composers at the Apulia Soundtrack Awards 2023! The festival celebrates film music, different generations of film composers and their work.

And this involves 3 of my soundtracks.

Skoraj polnoč / Almost Midnight is directed by Jan Fabris, produced with Elephant Art Film Production, amazing camera work (a one-take film!) by Vida Habjanič. Sound mixed by Julij Zornik.

Wheel of Life is a creative tandem with Tamara Maksimovic and produced in Bosnia and Herzegovina with AEON Production.

And one more Slovenian film is The Disappearance of Evelin Gale directed by Jan Fabris and also produced with Elephant Art Film Production. This is a very recent film (hence, unlike the other two fragments, you don’t see the actual scene in the video). This film features a great trio of actors: Miha Rodman, Lara Fortuna and Lea Mihevc.

Music from The Disappearance of Evelin Gale

And here is some music from the film! This is a fragment from The Disappearance of Evelin Gale soundtrack. Produced by ELEPHANT art film production, directed by Jan Fabris, music by Ruslan Perezhilo, sound mix by Julij Zornik, featuring actors Lea Mihevc, Lara Fortuna, Miha Rodman.

The Disappearance of Evelin Gale – Trailer

Here is the official trailer of the new short film I have scored The Disappearance of Evelin Gale. The music here is a special edit done by me using soundtrack’s fragments.

Klara’s Dance Trailer

New trailer with music constructed out of components of the soundtrack, but edited in a special way to give the teaser its own arc.

Klara’s Dance / Klarin Ples is a short film directed by Jan Fabris. Produced in Slovenia by the Elephant art film production team.

First teaser of Evelin Gale

First teaser of a new film! The Disappearance of Evelin Gale, featuring a very special soundtrack in many respects, is ready for its festival journey. This is a Slovenian production by the independent art film crew ELEPHANT that I am proud to be part of.

Best Original Score for IO short film

One more award arrived from the Fox International Film Festival, where my soundtrack for IO (short film made in Trieste and directed by Francesco Tribuzio) was named the Best Original Score!

My profile on IMDB.

Best Original Soundtrack award for IO

A pleasant surprise from the Genoa International Film Awards, where IO by Francesco Tribuzio received two laurels, including the Best Original Soundtrack! Here is a short snippet of my music.

The Music of Resurfacing

I am telling a (very condensed) story of an unusual soundtrack where I had to emulate being a psychedelic rock band and write for an electric guitar. Short film Spominjanje / Resurfacing was produced in Slovenia, written and directed by Jan Fabris. The sound mix of the film was done by the renowned Slovenian sound designer Julij Zornik.

Resurfacing Short Film Trailer

Spominjanje / Resurfacing is a new film by Jan Fabris. Sound mixed by the famous Slovenian sound designer Julij Zornik. Director of photography Vida Habjanič. Featuring Miha Rodman, Anka Eržen and Sara Horžen.

This is something very (musically) different! The new music genre for me was not the only thing to explore. The soundtrack has a very unusual creation path, many thanks to the endless lockdowns.
