Maurizio Guarini

Maurizio Guarini is a self-taught keyboardist, multi-instrumentalist and composer, best known as a member of the progressive rock band Goblin.
Born in Rome, Italy in 1955, Guarini started playing organ and guitar at the age of 10. He started playing live at high school concerts with some rock bands. Later, his music exploration moved on to progressive / jazz-rock. After graduating from high school in 1973, he attended the Math faculty at the University La Sapienza in Rome.
In spring 1975 Massimo Morante from Goblin invited Guarini to join the band, just after Deep Red was released. Starting with the very first concert in September 1975, Goblin, that reached top of the charts at that time, kept touring Italy until the end of 1976.
In March 1976 Goblin released the album Roller.
Just after three days of recording of the score for the movie Suspiria, on November 23, 1976, Guarini temporarily left the band. Late in 1978, after two years of studio work mainly in studio at RCA Records in Rome, Guarini re-joined Goblin, with a different line-up. Production of the band in the following years includes scores for the movies Patrick (1978), Buio Omega (1979), Contamination (1980), St.Helene's (1981), Notturno (1983) and the non-movie related album Volo]' (1982).
In parallel, during this years, Guarini collaborated with other musicians, mainly with the Italian composer Fabio Frizzi, and performed as session musician in several scores, mostly for movies directed by Italian director Lucio Fulci: The Beyond, City of Living Dead, Zombi 2 and others. Still about film scoring, in 1984 Maurizio started a cooperation with the Italian Composer Pino Donaggio, with whom he collaborated on 25 soundtracks.
Guarini released his first solo album, Creatures from a Drawer, on January 2013
