FILM MUSIC/SOUND DESIGN

"Pietro was able to take my ideas - as abstract and fragmented as they were at times - and turn them into a concrete arrangement. Hearing his score for the first time brought a genuine smile to my face because it was completely succinct to the music that was playing in my head."

-Tyler Hicks, Director/Producer


"The score [for Triangle Noir] is the strongest and most important element of the piece. It pulls the film from the proverbial poop house and elevates it significantly, to the heavens even. It was done in one week which is exceptional. The composer's name is Pietro Sammarco. I've worked with him a few times and have always liked his stuff. The guy runs mad game. He's really good technically, creatively, and otherwise. By the way, I told him I would get him some of your clothing for the gig. Maybe a winter coat would be nice."

-Josh Olson, Director

AUDIO ENGINEERING

"Pietro Sammarco is as careful and particular about the minutest technical details as he is about the conceptual big picture. He treats his work as art in progress and never compromises time or vision. It has been exciting and energizing to be engaged in such a collaborative and trusting adventure with him. Always approachable, generous and patient, Pietro also never held back from telling us what he was thinking in the moment. We could depend on him to give us critical feedback, objective assessments and wise alternative suggestions while in the studio. Our own creative process and potential as a band developed exponentially while working with him and we are sad the whole thing is now over. We consider him a sixth member (but that might be too disturbing for him to contemplate so please keep it to yourself)."

-Jeremy Todd, The Weather


"Pietro Sammarco truly takes the time to understand what it is he is recording. He really gets inside the songs, questions the writer about his or her intentions, and even studies the lyrics! The extra work that he put into the Mean Letters album really blew my mind; he made me feel like a better artist, and found things in my songs that I didn't even know were there. He says it's important for him to work on projects that he believes in creatively, and working with him was a real honor. I would definitely recommend him to anybody who has a vision of what they want, but need some extra studio help to turn that idea into a reality."
