My Take
Teho Teardo is a connoisseur's musician. Born in Pordenone in 1966, he moves freely between film scoring, sound art, and rock, and a David di Donatello for Best Score confirms he is the real thing, not a dabbler. His 1990s collaborations with Mick Harris and Lydia Lunch, then the Operator project with Scott McCloud that toured alongside Placebo, sketch an artist allergic to genre fences. I have a soft spot for composers who treat sound as something to sculpt rather than merely arrange. His catalog is exactly the kind I want to sit down and listen through properly, with full attention.
