Giuliano Sorgini

Perhaps best known for his soundtracks to Zoo Folle and The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, composer and multi-instrumentalist Giuliano Sorgini (b. 1942) has written outstanding and often pioneering music in a wide range of styles, composing scores for film, television, theatre and dance shows, as well as orchestral pieces.

The genres he has explored range from classical to jazz, to electronica, disco, beat, progressive rock, funk and psychedelia.

In the 1970s he collaborated with Italian exploitation filmmakers like Angelo Pannacciò, Salvatore Bugnatelli, Luigi Batzella and Guido Zurli, composing scores for horrors, westerns, thrillers, sexy comedies and other genre films.

With thousands of tracks for television (including documentaries, cultural and informational programmes, entertainment and other non-scripted TV genres) and dozens of library music albums, some of which released as a duo with his longtime friend Alessandro Alessandroni, Giuliano Sorgini is one of Italy’s major library composers.
