SOUNDTRACKS

Mechanical Principles (2023)

We observe a long series of gears, mechanical arms, and rotating devices: microsystems that receive and transmit movement, precisely following a mechanical principle. Each of them plays a role in making the machinery within which they are positioned function. However, the peculiarity of Steiner's shots lies in the focus on the microsystem and never on the macro: the machinery as a whole is never visualized, nor is its function made explicit. In a full Dadaistic perspective, the goal of the action is set aside or ignored, transforming the entirety of the machine into not just a tool for a purpose but into a work of art and an object of contemplation. The music and sound design function as the voice of these mechanisms.

La Soglia (2022)

Multi-awarded Thriller animated short movie, La Soglia narrates the story of a serial killer and the incident that led to his impulsive behavior. The fragmented animation representing the killer's scattered mind is supported musically with an electroacoustic elaboration of the sounds present at the time of the flashback, creating a unicum between sound design and music, and between present and past.

Clay Economy (2022)

https://www.raiplay.it/programmi/clayeconomy

In collaboration with Uffa Animation Studio and the support of Il Sole 24h,

Clay Economy is a mini-series with the aim of introducing the basic concepts of economy for the young, thanks to the voices of Alberto Forchielli and Fabio Scacciavillani and the comedic intervention of Sofa, an animated couch. The series is now hosted on RaiPlay streaming platform.

The soundtrack is a Jazz-Blues composition played with instruments usually found in most homes, characterised by a quirky melody that highlights the goofy character of Sofa.

Peregrinus (2023)

In Peregrinus the aim was to create a sonic scenario that could immerse into an alien world. The request was to write for a virtual orchestra in a Hollywood style, but I wanted to add a few elements that could highlight the ethnic location, hence making the soundtrack more suited to the story. By mixing and matching sounds and traditions for different cultures I wanted to create a sound world for Peregrinus.

Gravity (2023)

In Gravity it's been a lot of fun creating a sound world using an R&B language to highlight the protagonist's peculiar moves, mixing espionage clichès with a Nu-Soul twist. Once the protagonist falls from the ship failing to steal the suitcase, the error is corresponded in the music with glitches in the drum pattern occurring until a new possible solution is found.
