About Me |
|
| Composer, arranger, keyboardist, poly-instrumentalist, software developer. Born in Rome, Italy in 1955, Maurizio started playing as self-learning organ and guitar at age of 10. At 12/13 formed the first bands and started playing at school concerts. At the age of 14 Maurizio explored rock playing with several bands and then moved to progressive / jazz-rock. After graduating high school in 1973 he attended for a couple of years the math faculty at the University La Sapienza in Rome. During those years he played mainly jazz/Rock with Italian musicians, including among many Massimo Urbani and Roberto Della Grotta. Maurizio joined Goblin in 1975. The huge hit Profondo Rosso had the band tour Italy for the next couple of years as well as producing their first non-film related album, "Roller". Maurizio left temporarily Goblin at the end of the recording of the Suspiria soundtrack, on November 1976. He kept working as a performer and composer/arranger with the major artists on the scene, including Riccardo Cocciante, Gianni Morandi, Antonello Venditti, Mia Martini, Ivano Fossati, New Perigeo, Lucio Battisti, Adriano Pappalardo, Renato Zero, Patty Pravo. Eventually Maurizio re-joined Goblin in late 1978, and participated to all the production of the band until 1983, including Volo (the only Pop detour experience as Goblin) and several soundtracks. (Over the years, Goblin shared 2 keyboardists: Maurizio and Claudio Simonetti. Each of them plays keyboards in about 50% of Goblin production. "Roller" and other small works from 1975/76 are the only exceptions with 2 keyboard players performing at the same time). Over the same period Maurizio participated as keyboard session man to several soundtracks - mainly horror and thriller - written by other musicians. In parallel, during the early eighties, Maurizio started to be interested in software development and in 1983 he realized the first midi card for Apple II ever made, named YUK. Software development involvement grew over the years, and expanded to non-music related applications. In early nineties Maurizio earned a bachelor in computer science. Maurizio moved to Canada in 1998 with his wife, Cinzia Cavalieri, whom he met during the recording of Volo in 1982. Recent musical works include soundtracks for documentaries and the recent album for the new BackToTheGoblin project, released in February 2006. BackToTheGoblin lineup include 4/5 of the original Goblin back in 1976: Maurizio Guarini, Fabio Pignatelli, Massimo Morante and Agostino Marangolo.

Recently Maurizio put together a trio with two Canadian musicians, Chris Gartner (guit/bass) and Bob Scott (drums), and performed live Goblin tunes in Toronto in a couple of horror events. Is currently working on a new Goblin Album that will be released in 2008. Soundtrack work as performer or composer The Phantom of the Opera |
