Cinematics


Cinematics Pier Paolo
Cinematics is a timeline of classic films and characters. It’s a experimental project by Pier Paolo. All of the sound was made by Marcelo Baldin, also known as Combustion. He did a fantastic job remixing famous movie themes and blended altogether with a pinch of Aphex Twin’s Donkey Rhubarb.
