Man with a Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929)

Original music by Marco Terribile

This score was conceived as a sound-machine moving alongside Vertov’s camera — not illustrating the images, but sharing their rhythm.
It blends consonance and dissonance like carved stone, where lines form, dissolve, and return in constant motion.
Essential yet expansive, it’s built on counterpoint and color, on temperature and density rather than melody.

It belongs to no school: a personal timeline, an act of authorship — and perhaps an answer to a question:
How would Mussorgsky have written this score if he had lived into his nineties?
If Vertov captured the rhythm of the modern city, this music listens to its heartbeat.
