Alessandro Mastroianni

I’m an Italian-born, UK-based composer and sound designer who loves crossing the border between music and sound design. I love orchestras, synthesizers, guitar pedals, field recording, interactive and generative audio, microphones and cassette tapes.

My credits include feature films, TV shows, video games and advertising campaigns. I’m also the owner of Sonora Cinematic.

Music

Cosmic harmonies

Ever since hearing Holst’s The Planets Suite for the first time, the magical mystery of space has been deeply connected to music in my mind.
I have been lucky enough to have had many occasions to write "space music": from my appearance in Bleeding Fingers' Space Tones series to an upcoming real-time RPG to writing the official demo for Arturia's Minifreak Stellar

Pads and textures

Larger than life, cinematic pads and fragile textures are some of the most interesting tools in a composer’s palette: I love their ability to set a mood with only a few notes and evolve over time, morphing into something beautiful or terrifying.
Every synthetic or organic pad tells a story with sound.

Weaponry

As much as I dislike arms in real life, I do have a soft spot for the challenges that come with sound-designing fictional weapons.
From realistic swords and firearms to completely imagined tools of destruction, sound can tell a story about the fictionsl world we want to immerse the player in.

Alessandro’s been a really valuable addition to our sound designer roster over the past year—with high-quality presets in the cinematic and sci-fi genres on V-Collection and Minifreak—and it’s a pleasure working with him.
