Hi, I’m Martino Vacca. I’m an award-winning composer for indie titles with a triple MA in Composition, Performance, and Sound Design. I’ve performed and toured globally with modern and traditional folk ensembles, which gives me a unique, audience-focused perspective and a collaborative approach to making music. Since 2016 I’ve been creating immersive soundscapes for video games, collaborating with studios like Tiny Bull Studios and publishers like DON’T NOD to elevate player experiences. In film, I’ve scored projects such as Tutto il Tempo che Vogliamo, Cadde la Notte su di Me, Billie’s Magic World, and Mezze Stagioni, earning the Premio Machiavelli for Best Soundtrack. I also teach composition and orchestration, perform as an uilleann piper and flutist, and produce multimedia content that supports storytelling.
