It was a great honor and privilege to be involved in director and animator James Scott`s Akashic Sheres project.  I hope you all enjoy the original score I composed for the pilot of "Akashic Spheres".

Springtime Again (blossom)

'Children Of Memory' is the latest in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Sci Fi masterpiece.
Earth has failed and the last vestiges of humanity escape the planet to follow in the wake of previous attempts to colonise planets elsewhere in the galaxy. I've tried to fuse melancholy with hope and the passage of vast amounts of time in a spacehip! 

The main guitar is a Duesenberg Paloma put through a modern amp, an octave fuzz pedal and a trichorus modulator. 

The artwork is from Antarik Fox, Pinterest.

Children Of Memory (Remaster)

A cover of the band Los Bravo's 60's Classic "Black is Black" with a bit of a different take. I hope you enjoy it!

Black Is Black

Here I use the Intimate Grand Piano from Spitfire Audio. The track was recorded in one session, not quantized or edited. I usually sit down at the piano (keyboard) and play while the recording is running. Sometimes I forget the melody from three minutes ago while I'm playing, but then it comes back to me. That's how most of my songs are created.

Dans ses yeux tristes
Je me trouve face à moi
Je ne sais pas quoi dire
Par là je me noie
Sur ma peau des rides
Des traits sombre et noirs

Ici la fille tisse
Ses rêves insolites
Ses peurs parasites
Dans une vie sans limites

Dans ses yeux tristes
Aux yeux clairs et teint pâle
Je l’ai vue elle se hisse
Même si elle a mal
Elle a peur du vide
Ou d’une vie trop fade

Ici la fille tisse
Ses rêves insolites
Ses peurs parasites
Dans une vie sans limites

Ouh ouh ouh … 

Dans ses yeux tristes
Où coulent des larmes
Elle croit mais elle file
Le coeur bat et se calme
Elle se tait l’âme grise
Au fin fond elle se damne

Ici la fille tisse
Ses rêves insolites
Ses peurs parasites
Dans une vie sans limites

Ici la fille tisse
Ses rêves insolites
Ses peurs parasites
Dans une vie sans limites

Ouh oh oh oh …

La fille triste

In 410 A.C. Romans left the rule of Britain. The date and the reasons are still and always a matter of debate among historians; however, in 2010, when it may have been 1600 years since that event and to commemorate it, 500 lighthouses were lit along the route of Hadrian's Wall, from east to west (cover image).
The first draft of the track is not recent (I didn't like it so much) and can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/departure-from-britannia. I recovered audio material that I had discarded at the time (recording quality not optimal) and added some stuff.
Vocals by Ginevra Ansani and Arthouse Acoustic (samples). Flute by Trey Eley (Soul Surplus samples).

CLOWN


'clown redux'

music: Rentt 
lyrics, vocals, art: scotty

I put my makeup on before I hit the darkened streets.
Frighten children passing, as I pick my trick for treat.
Lure 'em to my vintage van with puppies and candy,
then tie 'em up and gag 'em so they can't release a shriek. 

Then I'll take them to the basement of an old abandoned house.
The fear that they possess is what makes me most aroused.
And when I've done my dirty work, I'll put that fire out,
and dump 'em in the woods, with their parts scattered all around. 

Call me fucking sick, I'm just a product of this world
and all you fucking people, how society's unfurled.
Try your best to catch me. Do your best to understand. 
But for every one of me there's worse things done by 'the man.'

clown redux (with Rentt)

Find something that you love to do, find someone to pay you to do it, and you will never have to work a day in your life. I am doing just that by entering the field of film scoring.

My love for music began in my childhood and I began playing piano at age four. Labeled a child prodigy by the local media, I was performing concerts at age six.

I produced and recorded two CDs by age 14, the proceeds of which were donated to specific charities. As a result, I was nominated for a local volunteer of the year award in 2009. At 16, I became interested in film scoring. That interest has grown into a love for this musical genre.

I scored 23 films for Red Eye Film Productions. Those films have received awards and recognition from several outlets. I was part of award-winning composer Christopher Young’s residency program, The Tilden House, in Culver City, California. In 2018, 

I was selected as the Statewide Young Soloist of the Year, awarded by arts4all Florida (a private not-for-profit organization).In early 2019, I created the original score for a 7-part mini-series titled Deathless, which is currently streaming on Amazon Prime. 

Later in 2019, I scored the film, Front Burner; winner of the 48-Hour Film Competition in Savannah, GA. Front Burner, can be found on my filmography page and premiered at the Filmapoloosa 2019 Film Festival in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

In 2020, my film, I Will Not Say His Name, was accepted at the Tally Shorts Film Festival (Tallahassee, FL) the Gasparilla International Film Festival (Tampa Bay, FL), and the Philadelphia Film Festival.

In late 2020, I scored the feature film, A Day in the Life, which is currently available on Amazon Prime.

I also scored an immersive theater play, The Savannah Underground, which is a theatrical sequence of 3 stories about Savannah Georgia’s dark history. 

In early 2022, I was given the opportunity to score director Adam Marino’s drama/thriller film, “The Ride”. Produced by Jessica Roszko, the independent film starred Savanah Joeckel, Paul Sorvino, Dee Dee Sorvino, Dean Cain, Mark Justice, and DB Sweeney. It went on to premiere at the Spotlight International Film Festival, showing at Cinemark theaters in Jacksonville Florida. More about this film is to come.

In late 2022, I had the amazing opportunity to meet animator and director, James Scott. James is currently working on Akashic Spheres, a miniseries for which I will be scoring the original music. Stay tuned for more episodes and music later in the year.
