Part of the “magic of the movies” is undoubtedly the musical score which swells below the images and heightens our emotional response to the story unfolding on the screen. One of the most talented practitioners of this special art is Michael Giacchino.
Michael Giacchino was born in Riverside Township, New Jersey, on October 10, 1967. His paternal grandparents emigrated from Sicily; his maternal grandparents, from Abruzzo. He holds dual United States and Italian citizenship. Mike began combining images and music at age 10 by creating stop-motion animation with homemade sound tracks in his family’s basement.
