Episode 7: An Interview With Maestro Fabio Frizzi

Over the years I’ve talked a lot about how Fulci’s City of the Living Dead (1980) changed my life as a young teenager and so it goes without saying that Fabio Frizzi’s music has also had a huge impact on me. This September, he’s taking a Zombie live score on an American tour and he was kind enough to speak with me ahead of that. We talk about his process composing, how he approaches films, and what it was like to work with Fulci, but it was also important to me to get in some questions about his incredible scores for with other directors like Aldo Lado, Bruno Corbucci, and Enzo Castellari. And YOU KNOW I had to ask about Superfantagenio. At the end of the episode, I also monologued more about his career and tried to focus on some films he scored that I think are underrated or outright neglected. I also compiled an ultimate Fabio Frizzi playlist!  Here’s an obligatory reminder that my upcoming book Revolution in 35mm is up for preorder through PM Press and will be out in the world next week (!!!), so please spread the word!
