…again, please feel to explore Mr. Jaconello’s work more thoroughly on his own website. Besides displaying a more complete list of his musical projects, you can also find musical excerpts from his body of work in a much better recording quality. And perhaps most importantly if you visit the “Services” page you can learn about the three facets of his collaborative efforts:
1. Helping find and adapt existing music/sound to fit the project,
2. New composition of custom made musical scores,
3. Sound Design and Manipulation for transition and sound-landscapes.
As well he has a small library of excerpts to accompany each facet to more clearly illustrate its potential to your next project, choreography, film, or exhibition.
