Tristan Capacchione
His music has been heard at film festivals all over Canada and the world, including the NYC Doc festival (New York), Dok Leipzig (Germany), Monstra Animation Festival (Portugal), the Animpact Animation Festival (South Korea), WorldFest Houston (U.S.A.), and more! Montreal-based composer Tristan Capacchione’s scores have helped films gain international recognition with awards like the Gold Remi for Best Comedic Feature (WorldFest Houston), Best Short Short (Bradford Animation Festival, UK), and a special mention at the prestigious Ottawa International Animation Festival.
Drawing inspiration from his background as a trumpet player in orchestras, jazz bands, and funk bands, Tristan uses these experiences to his advantage. His styles range from orchestral to jazz and from 8-bit to bluegrass. His approach to scoring follows a simple rule of “responding” to the picture rather “explaining” it. In this manner he finds the right balance of supporting the scene without being melodramatic or cliché.
Original Music
What directors are saying!
"Tristan has an exceptional knack of making music and sound for films. He quickly understood my intentions, from the overall artistic concepts to the precise musical feel I was aiming for."
-Aristonfanis Soulikias, Dir. "Last Dance on the Main"
"Tristan proved to be phenomenally inspired and committed, and his work far surpassed my expectations. His tireless dedication to the project were an invaluable part of the filmmaking process."
-Shawn Baichoo, Prod. "The Punisher: No Mercy"
"Throughout production it's been rare that someone has not required me to chase after them. I never had that concern when it came to the music and Tristan exceeded my expectations in every aspect."
-Michael Hanley, Dir. “Learning to Ride”
