Discography
Ivan Iusco, (born September 4, 1970) is an Italian award-winning composer and producer based in Los Angeles. He debuted in the film industry in 1999, having composed the music for the Apulian cult movie LaCapaGira directed by Alessandro Piva, and went on to win Best Soundtrack at the 2000 Valencia Film Festival (Spain). In 2003 he composed the music for Mio Cognato, a movie by the same director, for which he received the 2004 Nastro d'Argento nomination for Best Soundtrack. Iusco has partnered often with the well-known Italian director, Sergio Rubini, composing the main theme for the movie LAnima Gemella (2002), the soundtrack of LAmore Ritorna (2004) and an additional score for Colpo DOcchio (2008) which complemented the music of Pino Donaggio. His scoring career also includes Ho Voglia Di Te (2007) by the Spanish director Luis Prieto; Fesibum / Maledetto Tag episode (2009) by Dino Giarrusso; 6 SullAutobus (2012) a project by Sergio Rubini produced by the Accademia Nazionale DArte Drammatica Silvio DAmico (selected at the 69th Venice Film Festival); and Da Che Parte Stai (2016) by Francesco Lopez. In 1987 he founded the pioneering Italian music label Minus Habens Records (involving artists such as Angelo Badalamenti, Brian Eno, Aphex Twin and Depeche Mode), through which he continues to explore and publish avant-garde and cutting edge music. The track Mobili In Mobilis, taken from his album Transients (2015) has been nominated for the Best Instrumental Song by the American Songwriting Awards 2016. His current projects include the soundtrack for Rex Starlight, a TV series pilot by the American scriptwriter Daniel Greenspan and the much-anticipated joint project titled Between with the Canadian artist Cassandra Cronenberg.
