When I hired Matteo, I thought I was bringing someone on to create a standard underscore – functional, supportive, and fine. But what he delivered went far beyond that. His music gave my film its soul. It wasn’t until I heard his compositions with my footage that I realized something essential had been missing all along. He didn’t just score the film; he revealed its emotional core in a way that moved me. His work transformed the project and exceeded every expectation I had. I cannot imagine the film without his music now. They’re inseparable.
