Berlin International Film Scoring Competition 2021
AWARD WINNERS
Mauro Caspanello, Italy
1st Prize Winner 2021
I’m a 28-year-old composer from Palermo, Italy.
I moved my first steps in music as a guitar player, and that gave me the opportunity to study a lot of jazz harmony, pop songwriting and arranging. As the years passed by I eventually became passionate about composition and film scoring. While I don’t dislike working with samplers and synthesizers, my main focus is on orchestral composition.
I actually study film scoring at the conservatory in Rovigo (Italy), and my graduation is expected to be in June 2021.

He works in the creative industries as a designer but continuously improves his musical skills with humility, patience, and passion.
