Joan Pineda studied at the Barcelona Conservatory of Music. His passion for the cinema and a series of circumstances found him work during film projections playing the soundtrack on the piano in the same room. He has also composed soundtracks for both shorts and feature films, most of which were produced by the Institut del Cinema Català.
Joan Pineda has honoured the great classics with his improvised soundtracks. The Phantom of the Opera (1925), Nosferatu (1922) and The Scarlet Letter (1927) are just some of the films included on this double album devoted to Joan Pineda’s music for the big screen.
"...su música, consonante y diatónica, tajantemente melódica, incorpora notas azules (La Rambla, Amanecer), pulsos del pop (Los buitres del mar) o acentos mediterráneos (Alma torturada) que vienen a emparentarle con las maneras ligeras y diegéticas de un Rota, un García Abril o un Piovani..."
"Es éste un disco interesante y curioso y al que podríamos asignar un cierto carácter de documento, pues contiene música expresamente escrita para acompañar la proyección de un buen puñado de películas mudas [...] Disco recomendable en especial para los amantes del cine,"
