BuySoundtrax Records has released Cinemusic—The Film Music of Chuck Cirino. This collection features music from three films scored by Chuck Cirino this past year: A.I. Assault aka Shockwave, Komodo vs. Cobra, and Solar Attack.
Cirino did not start his career as a composer, but rather as a special effects programmer on the East Coast. After relocating to California, he transitioned into directing high-end special effects television commercials. His first work as composer was for the 1980 cult film Gypsy Angels, which starred Vanna White and Richard Roundtree. Since then he has scored films for Roger Corman, directed music videos for bands like Earth, Wind & Fire and The Dickies’ Killer Klowns From Outer Space, and has recorded over 40 music soundtracks for feature films like Sorceress, Chopping Mall, Ghoulies IV, The Return of the Swamp Thing, Hard to Die, and Transylvania Twist.
Cirino has worked as a producer, director, filmmaker, videographer, animator, special effects technician, editor, and composer. He executive produces and directs Weird.TV, a television series featuring weird Americans, bizarre news, unbelievable events and outlandish skits. Chuck’s credits also include executive producer and director of the Sci Fi Channel projects, Worldwide Weird and Warped In Space, and Baberellas; an independent Sci Fi feature distributed by Xenon Pictures.
Cinemusic—The Film Music of Chuck Cirino is a limited release of only 1,000 copies.
