In the field of movie soundtracks his name will always be remembered for the soundtrack of the movie "Il dio serpente" ("The serpent's god") and its immortal theme "Djamballà".
Born in Minneapolis, he begins his career as a pianist and keybordist. At the end of the 70s, together with his brother John, he founds the band "The Lounge Lizards" which mixes jazz with punk and new wave influences. He composed several tv and movie soundtracks.
