There are few movie composers who’ve created music as iconic as Ennio Morricone. A few of his most memorable soundtracks have been recorded at Discussion board Studios, the recording studio he co-founded in 1969 alongside Armando Trovajoli, Luis Bacalov and Piero Piccioni.
When Morricone was there recording his rating for the movie As soon as Upon a Time in America, one of many individuals within the room was a 12-year-old child named Marco Patrignani.
“I completely keep in mind, as a younger boy, working across the studio and experiencing the ability of an orchestra, performing the wonderful music of Ennio,” he says.
Patrignani’s mother and father ran the studio throughout that point. Now, he is in cost. As a part of our Sense of Place: Rome collection, Patrignani provides you a tour of Discussion board Studios, and he talks about taking good care of this particular place and all its historical past.
