About this item

SARO (soundtrack of the film by Enrico Maria Artale) is the latest work by Marco Messina and Emanuele de Raymondi, two of the rising stars, respectively, in ambient electronic and contemporary classical scenes in Italy. The result of their collaboration is an elegantly crafted musical journey, between minimalistic string arrangements and textural modular synths, perfectly integrated to enhance the imagery of the film. SARO, as the name of film director’s father, it is both an intimate road-movie and a documentary that tells the journey through the evocative landscapes of Sicily in search of a father never known.

A graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, his work is based on digital processing techniques combined with traditional compositional structures.
