Luke Corradine (born 29 August 1973) is an Italian-born composer and record producer. He has written music for films and TV programmes as well as new scores for concert performances of classic silent movies.

Early life and career

[edit]

Corradine, was born in Trieste, Italy.[1] He studied composition with jazz composer Pedro Iturralde and pianist Horacio Icasto,[2] and later with guitarist Steve Freund in Chicago.[citation needed]

His early work under the 'Phat Gecko' moniker, was championed by British label Deviant Records[3] and featured in numerous international compilations[4] such as Warner BrothersNow Dance 2004 alongside Justin Timberlake and Kylie Minogue amongst others, and Sonar Kollektiv's chill-out ‘Secret Love’ series.[5][6] Three singles originated from this period appearing in over thirty compilations worldwide.[7]

Film scores

[edit]

In collaboration with Nigerian film director Obi Emelonye, Corradine received an Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Award for the film Last Flight to Abuja[8] and later, in 2012, an African Movie Academy Award for his music work in the film Onye Ozi, the first film in Igbo language to receive international recognition.[9]

From 2014, Corradine scored several independent films in the UK and USA, notably Hard Time Bus (winner Best Film - Hollywood Black Film Festival)[10] and British thrillers Welcome To Curiosity (featuring Richard Blackwood)[11] and Two Days in the Smoke (featuring Alan Ford).[12] Then in 2016, Corradine wrote the score for Polish-American film No Panic With a Hint of Hysteria (Stephen Baldwin, Zbigniew Zamachowski),[13] a fast-paced black comedy described by some critics as Baldwin's best performance to date. The score is a tribute to swing jazz and blues music of the 1930s and 1940s.

Television

[edit]

For television, Corradine has composed music for Lego; The Samaritans,[14] The European Fine Art Fair and Amnesty International.[15] For director Simon Dinsell, Corradine has contributed for three consecutive years music to Stand Up to Cancer,[16] a British fund-raising series featuring Keira Knightley, Ronan Keating[17] and Stephen Mangan.[18]

In 2017 Corradine composed the music for the opening of YiHaus, the world's largest commercial shopping village in Shanghai, China, by Value Retail.[19] This was followed, in 2022, by the creation of the sound design for the multi-awarded documentary The Beatles and India[20][21] for director Ajoy Bose.

Silent film scoring

[edit]

As a direct result of Corradine's experience in Ukraine, The Spanish Film Institute (Filmoteca Española), commissioned from him a new score for the silent film The Night Coachman (Georgi Tasin, 1929) premiered in Madrid in October of 2022, at the Cine Doré[22] as the opening event for the festival Semana del Cine Ucraniano.[23] Later that year, the Fine Arts Circle of Madrid, placed an order for a new electronic score for the Soviet film Man with a Movie Camera, performed live by Corradine, and premiered at the Cine Studio.[24] This was followed by a commission from The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures for a new orchestral score for the classic film Earth (Alexander Dovzhenko, 1930).[25] The score was premiered at the Ted Mann Theatre of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Los Angeles, in July 2023,[26] under the direction and supervision of the composer, to positive reviews.[27][28][29] The score later premiered in Canada, as part of the Toronto Film Festival program celebrating the Ukrainian day of independence,[30] and in Spain as part of the MusicaV Festival in Vigo, and conducted by the composer.[31][32]

Corradine's interest in romantic piano music and in Ukrainian history culminated in the composition of a third score for silent film Bread (Shpykovskyi, 1930), a movie considered lost after many decades of Soviet censorship, and commissioned by the Festival Internacional Alborada Clásica.[33][34] While receiving nationwide radio coverage,[35] the score premiered live in Granada, Spain, in February 2024 and was performed by Australian pianist Duncan Gifford.[36]
