CIRINO, CHUCK - Cinema Imaginaire (Sealed) (CD)

CIN?MA IMAGINAIRE is a unique digital release featuring film music composed by Chuck for eleven film concepts written by Chuck and author Dave Nichols. More than a hypothetical movie soundtrack album, it's a unique audiocinematic experience containing eleven musical movie soundtrack suites based on eleven original story ideas. The concept expands as each musical suite is supported by a written synopsis depicting the story. Following the music suites, there is some additional bonus material that should appeal to fans of the composer's work. Chuck Cirino did not start his career as a composer, but rather as a programmer in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania for a Public Access cable TV station, where he learned how to create TV shows by himself, without a crew. In his spare time, he experimented with the station's video equipment and created a series of genre productions that allowed him the opportunity to learn how to incorporate special effects into his work. After relocating to California, Cirino transitioned into directing high-end special effects television commercials. His first work as composer was for the 1980 cult film GYPSY ANGELS, which starred Vanna White and Richard Roundtree. Since then he has scored films for Roger Corman, directed music videos for bands like Earth, Wind & Fire and The Dickies' KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE, and has recorded over 40 music soundtracks for feature films including SORCERESS, RETURN OF THE SWAMP THING, HARD TO DIE, TRANSYLVANIA TWIST, and many others. Dave Nichols is the author of two books and Editor-In-Chief of Pisano Publications in Agoura Hills, California. He also starred in his own Spike TV motorcycle series and co-wrote the legendary Federated TV commercials starring Shadoe Stevens as Fred Rated.
