Citadel Records is proud to announce its release of Michael Convertino's new score for the critically acclaimed World War II drama STRAIGHT INTO DARKNESS, which is now available at Buysoundtrax.
In the hauntingly unique tradition of the composer's work for MOTHER NIGHT, CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD and THE HIDDEN, STRAIGHT INTO DARKNESS uses textures of percussion, voices and ethereal samples as it charts two soldier's journey into the heart of darkness in the devastated countryside.
Michael Convertino will be autographing the first 50 copies sold. To purchase your copy, go to:

What is the composer's nationality if other than American?
From the bio posted at the official site for the film WE DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE (http://wip.warnerbros.com/wedontlive/ ), circa 2004:
"Michael Convertino is a classically trained composer/pianist who studied at the Paris Conservatory of Music and earned a Masters degree in Music from Yale University. A lead singer of the Yale jazz band, he has had concerts of his composed orchestral and chamber works at such prestigious venues as Carnegie Hall, Everson Museum and Sprague Hall. In the 80's he was the lead singer of the rock and roll band The Innocents. He then went on to become a prominent and award-winning film composer, working with such filmmakers as Ron Shelton, Randa Haines, Jon Amiel, Tim Burton and Gary Fleder.
Convertino has expanded his artistic endeavors to include screenwriting and most recently has been collaborating with celebrated screenwriter Daniel Pyne (Sum of All Fears, The Firm, Pacific Heights) on a number of projects. He will be making his feature-film directorial debut of his adaptation of the cult teen novel Too Cool starring Evan Rachel Wood (Thirteen). Convertino is also an accomplished photographer. A major exhibition of his work opened July 2002 at the Museum of Contempory Art, in Trento, Italy."
No real mention of his nationality but I'm assuming he's American.
Looking forward to receiving my CD of STRAIGHT INTO DARKNESS.
