Biography
STEFANO LENTINI- I’m seriously obsessed with three things: composing, recording and manipulating sound. Film music came as a gift, the possibility to change the expressive universe every time, reshuffle cards, play new games. I love originality and independence, I seek this in others and work to improve mine every day.
Stefano Lentini is a composer. His first instrument was a classic guitar made by his grandfather, who was a carpenter, out of some old wardrobe doors. And then came the Renaissance lute, which he studied at Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome, along with piano, flute, bass, and drums. He has a degree with high honors in Cultural Anthropology and studied Ethnomusicology in London. He is especially interested in non conventional scoring. He has just provided it with his Stabat Mater, as seen in Wong Kar Wai’s The Grandmaster, two Academy Awards nominee.
