Vincenzo Lamagna composes and performs music of beauty and intensity.
Built upon meticulously constructed arrangements his work presents a mercurial blend of electronic music, orchestral elements and experimental soundscapes. Visceral, powerful and emotive, Lamagna’s compositions are characterized by ferocious industrial undertones and haunted melodies, creating a vivid aural experience that takes hold of the extremities of darkness and light.

Often delving into complex emotional and psychological landscapes, Lamagna’s work explores themes of identity, contradiction, and the human condition.
 
His evocative sonic imprint and genre defying approach made him a sought-after artist in the world of performing arts. Vincenzo Lamagna has created music for some of the world’s leading ballet companies and festivals including the English National Ballet, Göteborgsoperans Danskompani, Contemporary NINE dance theatre of Beijing and Festival D’Avignon. A longstanding collaboration with choreographer Akram Khan has seen both work together to create a string of widely acclaimed productions including the 21st-century adaptation of the romantic ballet Giselle, for which Lamagna composed a revolutionary orchestral score.
 
In recent years Lamagna has stretched beyond the stage to screen with him scoring the film adaptation of Creature in collaboration with award-winning director Asif Kapadia and actor Andy Serkis. Lamagna composed the score for Manchester International Festival commissioned short animation “Breathless Puppets” directed by Naaman Azhari.  

Magnificently cinematic score.

EVENING STANDARD ★ ★ ★ ★

 

Vincenzo Lamagna's score is a hugely impressive piece of work.

THE ARTS DESK ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ​
 

The soundtrack is pulsating - deep and, at times, unrelenting.

It is superb and a key factor in the fully-formed creation of this new world for Giselle.

HUFFINGTON POST

Vincenzo Lamagna's score...was like a collective heartbeat.

It pulsed, soared and tore through the ears with everything
from strings to industrial sirens and the rush of waves.

CULTURE WISPER

Vincenzo Lamagna’s cinematic edgy score rumbles ominously, industrial, futuristic and emphatic.

BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE

 

You might also be blown away by the atmosphere, a level of intensity that is brave, that sucks you in with its gravity...composer Vincenzo Lamagna arranges thick strings, seismic rumbles, silent pauses and sudden shocks of volume that leave you vibrating at the same frequency as the performance.

THE GUARDIAN

The creation is revolutionary.

LITTLE WHITE LIES

The craggy grandeur of the score, by Vincenzo Lamagna, baroque chords and hissing, looped beats, revolves with shrapnel of original text from Woyzeck, voiced by Andy Serkis.

THE QUIETUS

Dance styles shift with changing moods whilst primitive, stifled words spoken by Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings) frequently cut through the immense score by Vincenzo Lamagna
