\"\"This past Wed. April 5th<\/sup> had Goblin member Maurizio Guarini performing his original score to Italy\u2019s first feature film, Dante\u2019s Inferno<\/strong> \/ L\u2019Inferno<\/strong><\/a> (1911), based on Dante\u2019s famous narrative poem in which the author\u2019s same-named hero and the poet Virgil trek through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven.<\/p>\n

The screening was part of the\u00a0International Seminar on Critical Approaches to Dante, as coordinated primarily between the University of Toronto and the\u00a0Italian Institute of Culture<\/a>. Inferno<\/strong> was restored around 2007, and the 70 min. version featured tinted scenes and all surviving footage culled from various international sources.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve added a review of the classic silent film<\/a> which, in its latest restored incarnation, is only available via a Region 2 Italian PAL DVD. Guarini\u2019s score isn\u2019t currently available on CD or DVD, but in our compact discussion \u00a0available on\u00a0iTunes<\/a>,\u00a0Google Play<\/a>,\u00a0Libsyn<\/a>, and YouTube<\/a>, he touches upon the possible release of his music, and reflects on such a\u00a0unique project that\u00a0features a mash-up of classical, prog-rock, industrial, and experimental elements.<\/p>\n

Also available is my 2015 podcast interview with fellow Goblin Claudio Simonetti<\/a>, and two podcast interviews with Guarini\u2019s longtime friend and colleague, Fulci composer Fabio Frizzi, one from 2013<\/a> and a follow-up discussion from 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Special thanks to Maurizio Guarini<\/a>\u00a0for his generous time, his wife Cinzia, and David at Daniloff Productions<\/a> for providing the opportunity to speak with a musical treasure who\u2019s happily made Ontario, Canada, his home base.<\/p>\n
