A singular sound at the intersection of orchestral writing, experimental texture, and South American heritage.
Colombian composer Orlando Pérez Rosso writes scores that fuse orchestral composition, manipulated South American folk instruments, and contemporary production techniques.
His score for Simbiontes, a supernatural drama shot in Colombia's Los Estoraques, carries a film with almost no dialogue. It combines FAAB (Feedback Actuated Augmented Bass), Colombian gaitas, alegre, tambora and traditional percussion with a string orchestra, supported by New Music USA's Reel Change Film Fund.
Mooned, for Illumination Entertainment, was produced by Pierre Coffin and directed by Jonathan del Val, and premiered theatrically alongside Migration. He composed Episodes 3 and 4 of Tim Burton: Life in the Line, directed by Tara Wood, and wrote additional music for Lucasfilm's The Acolyte and the Korean feature Hope.
Over seven years working with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Michael Abels, Orlando contributed additional music and score production on Jordan Peele's Get Out, Us, and Nope, as well as the Emmy-nominated HBO documentary Allen v. Farrow.
