Il Fatto Quotidiano: È morto Walter Martino, con i Gablin compose la colonna sonora di “Profondo Rosso”. I compagni di band: “Perdiamo un amico e un grande musicista”

È morto Walter Martino, musicista e co-fondatore dei Goblin, band nota noto per la realizzazione di colonne sonore e soprattutto per la collaborazione ad alcuni film di Dario Argento. Ne dà notizia la band stessa sui social.
Le parole della band
“Con grande dolore annunciamo la scomparsa improvvisa di Walter Martino, batterista, co-fondatore dei Goblin e tra i compositori della colonna sonora di Profondo Rosso” recita la nota condivisa online. “Walter è stato una figura fondamentale nella storia della band e della musica che ha accompagnato alcune delle pagine più iconiche del cinema italiano. Il suo talento, la sua sensibilità musicale e il suo spirito creativo hanno contribuito in modo determinante a definire il suono dei Goblin”. I compagni di band piangono la scomparsa del collega e amico: “Oltre a un grande musicista, perdiamo un amico e un compagno di viaggio, con cui abbiamo condiviso musica e momenti importanti del nostro percorso. In questo momento di grande tristezza ci stringiamo alla sua famiglia e a tutte le persone che gli hanno voluto bene”.
Chi era Walter Martino
Walter Martino è morto il 7 marzo all’ospedale di Livorno. Nato a Milano il 18 aprile 1953, era figlio di Bruno Martino, pianista, cantante e compositore, crooner dalla voce inconfondibile, famoso in Italia negli anni ’50 e ’60 e molto apprezzato nel mondo jazzistico internazionale per aver composto “Estate”, unico brano italiano ad essere inserito nel “Real Book”, il libro degli standards jazz mondiali.
Walter Martino ha fatto parte di importanti gruppi storici del rock italiano come Il Ritratto di Dorian Gray, Seconda generazione, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso. Ha composto con i Goblin la colonna sonora del film di Dario Argento “Profondo Rosso” nel 1975, mentre tre anni dopo ha scritto con i Libra le musiche di “Shock”, ultimo film di Mario Bava.

Walter Martino has died. The Gabin composed the soundtrack to “Deep Red.” The bandmates: “We lose a friend and a great musician.”

Walter Martino, a musician and co-founder of the Goblin band, has died. The band announced his sudden passing on social media.

“With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Walter Martino, drummer, co-founder of the Goblin and one of the composers of the soundtrack to Deep Red,” the note shared online reads. “Walter was a fundamental figure in the history of the band and the music that accompanied some of the most iconic pages of Italian cinema. His talent, musical sensitivity, and creative spirit contributed decisively to defining the sound of the Goblin.” The bandmates mourn the loss of their colleague and friend: “Besides a great musician, we lose a friend and travel companion, with whom we shared music and important moments of our journey. In this moment of great sadness, we embrace his family and all the people who loved him.”

Walter Martino died on March 7th at the Livorno hospital. Born in Milan on April 18, 1953, he was the son of Bruno Martino, a pianist, singer, and composer, an Italian crooner with an unmistakable voice, famous in Italy in the 1950s and 60s and highly appreciated in the international jazz world for composing “Estate,” the only Italian track included in the “Real Book,” the book of worldwide jazz standards.

Walter Martino was part of important historical Italian rock groups such as Dorian Gray’s Portrait, Second Generation, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso. He composed with the Goblin the soundtrack to Dario Argento’s film “Deep Red” in 1975, while three years later he wrote the music for “Shock,” Mario Bava’s final film, with the Libra.

EL DIABLO SE LLEVA A LOS MUERTOS (1973)
