A synth-driven soundtrack to an unexisting 80’s horror franchise that pays homage to both 80’s slasher films and 70’s Giallo Cinema.
From the kickstarter:
“My name is Gerardo Preciado, I’m a musician from northern México and I run a one man record label called Musike Di Diable which features my now defunct one man band The Atlantas, a one man guitar and drums duo called Ambidextroux, and Ancient Order of the Droids, an instrumental electronic duo (and you guessed it, also myself) to create a sort of imaginary universe with an alternate music history where these artists exist and even collaborate with each other. It doesn’t get any more DIY than this!
A couple of years ago I decided that rather than waiting for someone to make my dream of scoring a film come true, I would do it myself by scoring a series of imaginary films called ‘Terrore!‘ inspired by the 80’s slasher horror I watched as a kid (Halloween, Friday the 13th) and the 70’s italian giallos I discovered in my teens (Suspiria, The Beyond); so, paying tribute to Argento, Fulci (and many others) but mainly, the synth heaven music of master John Carpenter, I created an italian film franchise starring cult hero slasher Il Maniaco.
“Hitting the nail on the head, the soundtrack sounds like a cross between Goblin’s Suspiria and John Carpenter’s Halloween.” – BROKE HORROR FAN
Several years later, the sequels have kept the franchise alive, and this september we’ve just released the fifth entry in the series with ‘Terrore! V: La Tomba del Maniaco‘ and ‘Deep Cuts: Musike Di Filme 1979-1985’ which includes themes from several 80’s genre films (imagine italian rip offs to Escape from New York, Big Trouble in Little China, etc), a sort of ‘best of’ compilation of music to unexisting films.
