Clément Ferrigno

Clément Ferrigno, born in 1999, is a French film composer. As a cinephile passionate about movie soundtracks, it is through films that music became an evidence. Thanks to an exacerbated musical sensibility and an intimate relationship with the cinematic language, he develops his approach to the music for the image through the years, inspired by the work of famous Hollywood symphonists such as John Williams, Bernard Hermann, Jerry Goldsmith, but also European symphonists like Nino Rota or George Delerue. Clément started to compose music when he was around 13 years old, determined in composing film soundtracks. Since he is an autodidact, he claims his independent learning and put it as a good alternative for the traditional school-based learning, as he is a fervent believer of the power of intuition and the learning by listening. Since he was 13, he has never stopped learning and progressing by himself. He also studied for a year at Paris8 University Vincennes/Saint Denis where he took some classes about writing music and musical orchestration in order to consolidate his already solid musical baggage and turn his intuition into knowledge. He is now actively working on different projects on which he works along directors for short-films and medium-length-films as well as some musical shows. In 2018, he composed his first original soundtrack for Save Our Souls, a medium-length-film directed by Maxime Sanchez, a result of a strong collaboration between the two friends. The same year, he composed the music of Mystères et Maléfices, a musical tale written by Stephanie Blanchet. It was a really rewarding experience to give life to this tale, that had later been performed in many Parisian schools. In 2019, Maxime Sanchez asked him to score his first feature-film Filmmaker. The music Clément is going to compose for this film will be performed by the Budapest Symphonic Orchestra. The same year, L.A Dubos released her first short-film Le Fantôme de Serdaigle that Clément also scored and which marked the beginning of a fruitful collaboration between the director and the composer since in 2020, Clément will compose the soundtrack of her short-film All That You Love Will Be Carried Away, an adaptation of a Stephen King short-story.
