Origin Story: Marco De Gregori


Marco is a sound designer that hails from Spain. I have a lot in common with him and I bet you do too. He has passion for sound, and like me, was fascinated by the power sound has in helping to tell a story. He is quite accomplished as you can see from his IMDB page.

Marco's Story

My love story with Sound started when I was 13. A friend of mine took me to watch 2001 a space Odyssey the movie from Stanley Kubrick.I fall in love with movies that day. Years later in 1977 me and some friends went to watch Star Wars. I was shocked about sound effects, ambiences and the sound design of that title. I knew at that time what finally was the job I was always looking for. I decided to become a sound designer. Since then I had only one passion in my life: create sound for movies.

I live in Spain and fortunately I started my career doing what I love most: sound. I have worked for many Spanish directors and won a Goya award something pretty close to the Hollywood Oscar.

My dream afterwards was to do my job there in that great country and to feel the magic touch of Hollywood, but I never had the chance. I never will see my name in any o those great films. Despite that I know God blessed me with a special gift: giving me the opportunity to enrich each movie with tones of passion, love and hope in every drop of sound I make.
