Michael Giacchino was born October 10, 1967 in New Jersey. He loves doing "animation stuffs" and experimenting music. By the time when he reached high school, he was an expert in stop-motion animation. He was recommended to attend the School of Visual Arts in New York and later on he graduated for there with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in film production.
Giacchino’s professional career started when he signed up for an unpaid internship at Universal Studios, where he was hired upon completion of his term. While taking night classes in orchestration from the University of California, Los Angeles, he took a job at Disney Interactive as a producer. He then contributed music for many of Disney’s Sega Genesis games, including “Gargoyles” and “Donald in Maui Mallard” from 1995, and the multi-console version of the highly famous “The Lion King” from 1994. Later Michael Giacchino won Grammy Awards for both "Up" and "Lost" including awards for Best Soundtrack Album and Best Instrumental Composition. In 2010, Giacchino won the Academy Award for Best Original Score for “Up”.
Talking about Up, we cannot forget to talk about the theme song of the movie, the Married Life, and how the song ruled the audiences at the beginning of the film. It keeps a consistent melody throughout the entire segment that changes shape to match the stages of life and the circumstances Carl and Ellie experience throughout their marriage, its tune being bouncy and toe-tappable at some points, with brasses and strings whose sounds immediately recall a glorified version of a bygone time in history. At other moments, though, the music is very somber and beautifully slow, helped by the simplicity of its arrangement with instruments like a single piano. The clip is shown below:
