PAOLO FARINA

Music is my greatest passion. After more than 10 years of classical Piano studies here in Italy, both practice and theory, I obtained the skills needed to compose my pieces and to develop a unique and personal musical language. My other great passions are Cinematography and Videogames. Can you guess what happened? Exactly, I started to love original soundtracks, so much that I almost prefer to listen to that kind of music rather than traditional one.

Someone would say it’s insane. I don’t care.

So after High School, I decided to follow my passions and chose a career in the Creative Media field. I enrolled in SAE Institute to obtain a Bachelor Of Arts (with Hons) in Audio Production, followed by a Master of Fine Arts in Professional Media Composition & Orchestration at Thinkspace Education, plus mentorship from Cris Velasco on AAA game music scoring through Hollywood Music Workshop.

During my music production studies, I’ve had the chance to gain direct experience into the field by assisting Film & Game Composer Alessandro Ponti and Music Producer Piero Cassano.

Now I’m 28 and I’m working as a freelance composer / sound engineer on various TV, Games, VR and Podcast scoring projects.

Guilty pleasures? I’m a huge Tabletop RPGs fan, so much that I also write original music for publishers and content creators in the field under the pseudonym of “Son Of a Die”.
