Aldo Shllaku

Composer

Aldo Shllaku is an Albanian born classically-trained film and TV composer based in Los Angeles. As one of the harshest communist regimes was on the brink of collapse, Aldo left Albania to pursue a better future, first to neighboring Greece and then Canada. Making his home in Montréal Aldo studied music composition at Université de Montréal under the guidance of Dr. Michel Longtin. He then moved to Los Angeles and completed USC's prestigious 'Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television' program. An amalgam of the traditional and modern, Aldo's music has been aptly described as evocative, sophisticated, and poignant and ultimately satisfying.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
