Carlos d'Alessio, born on December 20, 1935 in Buenos Aires and died on June 14, 1992 in Paris, is a French composer of Argentinean origin.
His creations are often inspired by Latin American folk tunes or popular dances: waltzes, javas, rumbas, tangos. His music is sometimes repetitive and played on the piano alone or by small groups. His music is inseparable from the films of the writer Marguerite Duras.
In Argentina, he studied architecture, became interested in cinema and learned music with Guillermo Graetzer. He joined a theater company to compose the music for the plays they created. In 1962, he moved to New York and entered the avant-garde scene, which was then in full creative swing. In 1972, the composer made a trip to Paris where he met the Argentine playwright and cartoonist Copi. He collaborated with Alfredo Arias - also from Buenos Aires - founder of the theater company, TSE. In 1973, he attracted the attention of the novelist Marguerite Duras, who had become a film director. He became her favorite composer and the music for the film India Song made him popular. "Carlos d'Alessio's music surrounds me, inhabits me as the first minute I heard the music of this man. "she says. Their collaboration was fruitful and lasted until his last film, Les Enfants, shot in 1985. In 1986, he created the show Home Movies at the Théâtre de la Ville de Paris, with the participation of the dancer-choreographer Caroline Marcade. Then Jean-Pierre Jeunet also called on him for a short film (Foutaises, 1989), then for his first popular film, Delicatessen, directed with Marc Caro in 1991. This will be his last work. He died of AIDS the following year.
