Cicognini, Rota, Lavagnino, Savina, Trovajoli: tecniche di post-produzione a confronto

Abstract

This essay draws on the author’s experience as a sound mixer in Italian post-production studios, namely Fonolux and International Recording. It aims at portraying a technician’s perspective on film music’s production processes, with special regard to the emerging technologies of the late 1950s, and recollects the author’s personal relationships with five renowned film composers of that period.
