Spring 1995 - after the closure of the Needle Park and the public drug scene in Zurich, 11-year-old Mia and her heroin addicted mother Sandrine are relocated to the countryside. Based on true events, the film tells the story of children whose parents were part of the largest open drug scene in Europe during the 90s.
The soundtrack was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra at AIR studios, where other major productions such as Mission Impossible, Harry Potter or Interstellar have been tracked.

Munz chocolate's beautiful new tv campaign for their new "Together is better" initiative, supported by Pro Familia Switzerland.
We approached this score not as an advert, but as a short film instead, focusing on creating an further dimension of emotional story-telling through music, centering the thematic material around a catchy piano melody with an underlying cello motif that is developed throughout the film.

About Me

I'm Matteo. I'm a composer from Zurich, Switzerland.

Music has been my passion for over 15 years. I attained my master's degree in film scoring at the Zurich University of the Arts and have since then created soundtracks to countless local and international projects. Additionally, I collaborate with Universal Music to release production music of the highest quality for licensing.
My latest film "Needle Park Baby" premiered in January 2020 as one of the most successful and critically acclaimed productions in Swiss film history.

I compose for people and businesses that want to boost the impact of their media, with music that makes them stand out. I'm a perfectionist and I love telling stories through sound, giving projects the unique voice they require. Let's tell your story, together.
