The Setmanari de Felanitx Highlights the Soundtrack of Amy, Composed by Rubén Gallardo

The Setmanari de Felanitx has published an article highlighting the work of Felanitx-born composer Rubén Gallardo, who is responsible for the original soundtrack of Amy, a short film directed by Ismael Luna. The article focuses on Gallardo’s musical contribution to the audiovisual production and the creative process behind the soundtrack that helps shape the film’s sonic identity.

The soundtrack, built around cinematic electronic music and sounds inspired by the 1980s, combines synthesizers, electronic textures and orchestral elements to create a dark and immersive atmosphere. The composition accompanies the unfolding story and helps heighten the tension and suspense throughout the short film.
The music for Amy draws inspiration from synthwave, a genre of electronic music that revisits the sonic aesthetics of the 1980s and adapts them to a contemporary style. Through this approach, Gallardo uses sound as a narrative tool that complements the visuals and reinforces the emotions conveyed by the story.
With this publication, the Setmanari de Felanitx helps bring greater visibility to the composer’s work and his involvement in a film project that explores the relationship between electronic music and audiovisual storytelling. The article also highlights Gallardo’s contribution to the original soundtrack, a key element in establishing the short film’s atmosphere.
