Sounds for the absolute mystery

 

Gino Marinuzzi Jr. (1920-1996) was an US-born Italian composer and conductor; he was a major musical figure twice over, in movies as well as in composition and education, and he comes by that presence as his birthright. His father, Gino Marinuzzi (1882-1945), was a major Palermo-born conductor and composer, known around the world from the dawn of the 20th century, closely associated with the music of Verdi, Puccini, Wagner, Donizetti, Bellini, and Richard Strauss. 

Gino Marinuzzi Jr. graduated from the Milan Conservatory in 1942, and later he was closely associated with Teatro dell'Opera de Camera in Rome, and made his conducting debut with the opera's ballet company in 1947. Marinuzzi subsequently turned to composition, including writing music for movies and radio. He entered the Italian film industry in 1950 with Romanzo d'amore, and over the ensuing decade wrote the scores to such diverse productions as Jean Renoir's Le Carrosse d'or (1952) and Vittorio Cottafavi's Ercole alla conquista di Atlantide (1961). Marinuzzi also taught composition from the early '50s onward (among his most notable students is pianist Vittorio Bresciani) and later became fascinated with electronic music. In 1956, in collaboration with Federico Savina, Marinuzzi co-founded the Accademia Filarmonica Romana. His later achievements include the creation of the Fonosynth 2 elettronico, an instrument on which electronic music can be composed.
