A selection of artists from the soundtrack will be performing live at the event. The soundtrack was composed and supervised by Michele Braga and features some of Italy's most talented up and coming artists, including Sylvie Lewis,
David Loris, honeybird, and The Niro. Braga's collaborations have resulted in a fresh blend of pop and folk unique in the Italian music scene, characterized by evocative lyrical atmospheres and delicate instrumentation. Also featured is the hit single 'Squander' by Skunk Anansie. The soundtrack will be available on iTunes and other online music stores, as well as in record stores throughout Italy.
Tutto l'Amore del Mondo, distributed by Medusa films, directed by Riccardo Grandi and starring Nicolas Vaporidis, Myriam Catania, Ana Caterina Morariu and Alessandro Roja, will be released in over 300 cinemas on 19th of March, 2010. The film tells the story of four friends on a European road trip whose adventures bring them together in love and friendship. The original songs on the soundtrack capture the "on the road" mood to perfection, yet also stand on their own as testament to a new and exciting indie sound out of Italy.
'I wanted to convey the sensation of traveling through the music where the succession of landscapes, images and scenery mirrors the journey of human emotion,' muses Braga. 'The music accompanies the characters throughout the film as they face their fears, hopes, and dreams in this voyage of self discovery.'
The soundtrack of Tutto l'Amore del Mondo will be released on the 2nd of April by Medusa and distributed by Edel. Featured on the soundtrack are the songs 'Anywhere We Want To' (Braga/Loris) performed by David Loris, 'Come Along' (Braga/Mizrahi) and 'The River Outside' (Braga/Mizrahi) performed by honeybird and 'It looks like Rain' (Braga/Lewis) performed by The Niro.
