Manuel Marino’s Summary

⇨ LION ⇦ ⇨ TopLinked.com ⇦ ⇨ Open Networker ⇦

"Manuel Marino is a former mp3.com artist who decided to strike out on his own after mp3.com's copyright scandal in 2000. His studio, Marino Sounds, provides audio for game, television and multimedia projects at as low a rate as possible in order to actively encourage business from the indie scene. Projects such as Derek Smart's Universal Combat and the X-com inspired UFO: Alien Invasion gave Marino a certain kudos, and his current work on the Morrowind ITP (Italian Translation Project) comprises a further step towards the mainstream. "Being 'indie' is like being in a big family. I feel that other independent musicians and designers are my brothers, and that they deserve my help," he told me. He's enjoyed the game experience so much that he's planning to establish a full-time dev team." (Paul Taylor, Music4Games)

Between 1999 and 2001 Manuel produced 9 albums on mp3.com, many of them receiving wide critical acclaim in the music press.

As described by Wind & Wire Magazine: “Manuel Marino, a.k.a. Vanethian, records some of the best ‘pure’ melodic synthesizer music around. He composes and performs in the same musical style as Larry Fast (Synergy). Manuel's music is overtly electronic and yet rooted in pop music sensibility; he has few (if any) contemporaries in this regard.”

Also, as described by Splendid E-zine “Marino's heavy interest in role-playing games is evident on Futures Past [his last album]; he takes his own personal enjoyment and translates it sonically through MIDI sequencing into breathtaking soundscapes that take the listener left of heaven into the World of Dreams. Taking Korgs, Rolands and Moogs to the next level, Marino remains modestly mindful of old masters Rick Wakeman and Alan Parsons when evoking his own brand of medieval methodology. From intergalactic battles to dystopian visions of society, infinite space is the only limit for Marino and his music.”
