Artist Statement

Working on this movie was special for me. From the first emergency call from the production to the final music mix, only eleven weeks passed, so it was very intense. But I had the chance to be trusted by everyone, having a lot of freedom to put musical colors on this wonderful animated story, which happens not so often nowadays. We needed to create a musical world that feels familiar but does not exist: The ghosts and monsters cohabit with humans in Elli’s world but never really interact with each other. The first impulse was to set up a main theme not primarily focused on this particular universe but rather on Elli, as we follow her through her journey in finding herself and her roots in her own bold, heartfelt way. Keeping it warm with real instruments and homemade sounds, even when synthetic vibes were needed, resulted in a lot of musical fun and very bold choices and musical colors. The score navigates between different music genres, blen- ding together songs, big band jazz touches, neo-classical romantic cues, big orchestral epic ones, vintage 50’s vocals, and even electronic bits.
