[Thor Joachim Haga]

Convertino continues to be one of the biggest mysteries in the film score world. Quite prolific in the 80s and 90s, but completely absent in the last 10-15 years. He never gives interviews, and there’s barely even a photo online. There’s an early 80s video on YouTube where he performs with his band The Insects (with his pal and bandmate Thomas Newman). He could do semi-abstract, tentative figures much like his famous composer friend, but also far more overt orchestral stylings, like this comedy from 1994. Exuberant and classical are good keywords.
