Chris Bozzone

Chris Bozzone is a soundtrack composer, songwriter and filmmaker. In the fall of 2017, he began working with Jonathan Dennison, the founder of Cadabra Records, on his first soundtrack for the label, Thomas Ligotti's The Bungalow House, a vinyl-and-cassette release that came out in 2018. His soundtrack work for Cadabra Records covers a wide array of weird, fantastical and macabre fiction. Singular for his ability to fuse together different musical styles, Bozzone's scores encompass evocative electronic music, arresting folk melodies, classical piano compositions, and boundary-pushing experimental soundscapes. 

Select highlights from Bozzone's scores for Cadabra Records include H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness 6XLP boxed set, Arthur Machen's The Great God Pan 3XLP set, Thomas Ligotti's The Small People 2XLP set, Thomas De Quincey's Suspiria De Profundis: Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow, and Edogawa Rampo's The Caterpillar. All of Bozzone’s soundtracks have been produced by Barry Knob, who also contributes additional musical arrangements to many of the scores. To date, Bozzone has set his scores to the work of extraordinary voice actors like Jon Padgett, Andrew Leman, Laurence R. Harvey, Anthony D.P. Mann, S.T. Joshi, Robert Lloyd Parry, and Matthew M. Bartlett. 

Influences on Bozzone's music include European horror films, surrealistic Polish, Czech and Eastern European art cinema, weird fiction and poetry, 20th-century avant-garde classical and electro-acoustic music, American minimalist composers, spiritual jazz, black metal, psychedelic folk music along with an assortment of post-industrial British projects, and Steven Stapleton's Nurse With Wound list. 

Bozzone also co-directed and scored an award-winning short film, Mirrors, which was selected by filmmaker David Lynch to screen in conjunction with an exhibit of his work at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2015.   

For about a decade, Bozzone was a disc jockey for WPRB in Princeton, New Jersey.
