Giuliano Sorgini

Giuliano Sorgini creates music that occupies the strange, shadowy border between functional library music and avant-garde horror. His sound is defined by a heavy, organic pulse, often driven by intricate percussion that feels both ancient and futuristic. It is the sound of 1970s Italy viewed through a dark lens, where lounge grooves are replaced by tense, atmospheric explorations and psychedelic flourishes.

What sets Sorgini apart is his ability to conjure specific, often unsettling environments using analog synthesizers and flute. While his contemporaries were often writing breezy themes for television, Sorgini was diving into the 'Africa Oscura' or scoring zombie films with a sense of genuine dread. His work is characterized by a thick, tape-saturated texture that gives every note a sense of historical weight and mystery.

Start with 'Africa Oscura' for a masterclass in tribal-ambient tension, or 'The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue' if you want to hear how he pioneered the sound of cinematic dread. It is perfect for listeners who want music that demands attention without being loud, providing a murky, immersive backdrop for deep work or late-night contemplation.
