About

I am Guido De Gaetano, a composer of visual music with thirty years of experience and a versatile sound engineer. I’ve built a career scoring films and crafting music for television and advertising, and I run Can Can Music Publishing in Bologna. I also oversee a cinema music library and collaborate with orchestras and broadcasters to bring soundtrack projects to life.

Over the years I have created music for feature films, cartoons, TV series, and national advertising, while teaching film music and audio post-production at the G.B. Martini Conservatory. I strive to combine artistic storytelling with precise sound design, and I enjoy mentoring up-and-coming composers through teaching and publishing initiatives.
