Mondo Sangue

Italian Cinematic Music Duo

Mondo Sangue is a musical project that delves into the realm of cinematic music, paying homage to the classic sounds of Italian film scores from the 1960s and 1970s. The project is a collaboration between composers Christian Bluthardt and Yvy Pop, who share a passion for the vintage soundtracks that accompanied spaghetti westerns, giallo thrillers, and other genre films of that era. Their work is characterized by its evocative nature, often employing traditional orchestration and period-authentic instrumentation to recreate the mood and atmosphere of those iconic cinematic moments. Mondo Sangue's albums are conceptually designed to serve as soundtracks for imaginary films, with each album exploring different thematic and stylistic territories reminiscent of the works by legendary composers such as Ennio Morricone and Bruno Nicolai. The titles of their albums, such as "No Place For A Man (Il Villaggio Delle Donne)," "Rosso Come La Notte," and "Giallo Come Il Giorno," suggest narratives steeped in the tropes of their respective genres, from westerns to horror and crime thrillers.
