Louis Siciliano

Louis Siciliano (born 19 March 1975) is a multi-awards winning music composer, poly-instrumentalist, conductor, sound engineer, music producer, poet, writer and philosopher.

Louis Siciliano was born in Naples, Italy, on 19 March 1975, right by Mount Vesuvius, land of many spheres of influence whose roots are mainly artistically moulded. When he was just seven years old, he began studying music and he soon became interested in learning composition with Giacomo Vitale and after with Franco Donatoni and Luciano Berio. He has studied orchestral and choral conducting respectively with Carlo Maria Giulini, Giovanni Acciai and Marco Berrini. He has also studied electronic music with Antonio De Santis—IRCAM's founder in Paris—becoming his musical assistant later. In 1997 he attended the Engineering Sound course at the Audio Institute of America with Peter Miller, The Beatles' sound engineer. In 1999 he took a master degree course in composition at New York University. Consequently he grew to be a multi-instrumentalist, orchestra conductor, sound engineer, music producer, soundtrack and contemporary music composer. His music combines highly varied musical styles, such as electronic, post-jazz, world and contemporary music. He produced, composed, orchestrated, conducted and mixed soundtracks for many film productions. On 12 May 2013, he officially retired from the artistic scene.
