The lonely body - 2023
"Nina delivered a hauntingly brilliant score for The Lonely Body. She had an intuitive grasp of the material from the outset and was a joy to collaborate with leaving us with a score that far exceeded my expectations. I look forward to working with her again on my next film."
Tim Brown / Director La luce di Roma - 2021
"I chose Nina Madison's music because her melodies perfectly captured the spirit of our documentary. It's as if Nina, despite not fully knowing our narrative intentions, knew from the beginning where we wanted to take our audience and helped us achieve this with excellence. I find her music to be very evocative and persuasive, pulling at your heartstrings at the right moment.”

Biography
Nina Madison is an Italian composer for Film, TV, and Video Games. Her first collaboration was with writer and director Guido Talarico on his documentary ‘La Luce di Roma’ ('The Light of Rome'). Soon after she co-scored the music for the the horror short ‘The Lonely Body’, directed by Tim Brown and Jacob Dalton.
She is currently collaborating as a co-composer on the upcoming video game ‘Eternal Seas’, an open world pirate-themed RPG, creating a swashbuckling Mediterranean orchestral score. She is also working with director Brandolino Brandolini D’Adda and Cosimo Desii to create a melodic piano and string score for their debut short ‘Spazio Vuoto’ (Empty Space) .
Nina attended the Screen Music Program in Pavia, Italy, where her teachers included composers Carlos Rafael Rivera ("The Queen's Gambit, Griselda”) and Garry Schyman (Bioshock, Dante’s Inferno). Her other mentors have included Christopher Young (Sinister, Spiderman 3), Lennie Moore (Star Wars: The Old Republic, Halo: The Master Chief Collection), and five-time Emmy Award-winner José Manuel Cancela (The Last Narc, Creed).
Daughter of mixed-media artist Aldo Runfola, Nina grew up as an international traveller, studying classical piano in Berlin and voice in the UK, and is fluent in Italian, English, German, and Spanish. Being able to call more than one place ‘home’, her identity always held roots in her creativity.
