Report
biography of Giacchino, Michae
10 October 1967, Riverside, New Jersey, USA- Frequently hires the Hollywood Studio Symphony to perform his scores.
- Frequently hires 'Dan Wallin' (qv) to record and mix his scores.
- Frequently hires 'Tim Simonec' (qv) to orchestrate and conduct his scores.
- The music he writes is thematic so that each character in the films he scores are identified by their theme.
- Grew up in Edgewater Park, New Jersey
- His last name is pronounced "jee-ah-kee-no".
- Has 3 children.
- One of 105 people invited to join AMPAS in 2008.
- He created the music for the updated 2005 version of Space Mountain at Disneyland.
- He is the first video game composer to be nominated for an Academy Award.
- Was nominated for Film Composer of the Year in 2004, 2007 and 2009 by the International Film Music Critics Association. He only won the award in 2004.
- Composed the music for the Disneyland Resort Paris roller coaster "Space Mountain : Mission 2", opened 9 April 2005, the new version of the original "Space Mountain - De La Terre A La Lune" originally based on Jules Verne's stories and composed by Steven Bramson.
- "I think my writing has an old-fashioned feel to it, for whatever reason. I'm just so influenced by the music that I listened to growing up, a lot of it out of the 60's, so it has a natural tendency to feel like it's from another era."
- I do pick projects because I love them. If I get into a project where I feel like either the people are there just because it's a job for them and it's not going to be an enjoyable process and it's going to be a war zone to get through, I always say no to that, regardless. Money is kind of irrelevant in all of this.
