Greco Casadesus

{ Gréco Casadesus (born 13 August 1951) is a French composer who composes film scores. Born in Paris to a large family of artists (musicians, conductors, performers, actors, composers, painters, and writers), he has composed over a hundred musical creations for television, cinema, performances, and theatre. In his early years, he started out as an artistic director for EMI Classics, then set out to create music for the stage (1983–1997). From 1984 on, he started writing music for TV and cinema with a style combining orchestral music and electronics (synthesizers and computer music). Casadesus composed soundtracks for a diverse range of productions, such as Divertimento, with Kellan Lutz, Torrey DeVitto, Ola Rapace, Götz Otto by Keyvan Sheikhalishahi, The Climb, a fiction movie by the American director Bob Swaim, the animated film Babar: King of the Elephants, adapted from the classic French comic by Jean de Brunhof, or the TV series Jesus by Serge Moati. He also wrote seven hours of music for the restored version of the 1921 film Les Trois Mousquetaires, by Henri Diamant-Berger. Fascinated by the genius of Étienne-Jules Marey (1830–1904), inventor of the first moving images, he wrote the symphonic suite Sept Mouvements de Vie in 2008, performed by an orchestra, as images by Marey were projected on a film screen. More recently, he composed the music score for several documentary films, such as La Guerre d'Hollywood, Jack London, une aventure américaine, and the TV series Jusqu'au dernier. In 2002, he founded the Union des Compositeurs de Musiques de Films (UCMF), a lobbying group defending the interests of music creators. He remained its president until 2005, and then its honorary chairman. In 2003, Casadesus was nominated "Personality of the year" by the trade journal Musique Info Hebdo. In 2012 he was awarded the Henri-Langlois Award. {
