REVIEWS: VARIETY [Review of SXSW film Porno] “Carla Patullo’s score is a nicely poker-faced channeling of fantasy-action soundtrack tropes from a generation ago.” THE SPOOL [Review of SXSW film Porno] “It’s an erotically-charged spin on an old formula, and Patullo’s vocals-heavy composing style seems like a fascinating accompaniment.”
POPAXIOM [Review of SXSW film Porno] “Carla’s music is vibrant, ethereal, sometimes haunting, and so often mesmerizing. It’s a mix of her influences blending together into something familiar but new.” WOLFBANE BLOOMS [Review of film Porno at Fantasia Film Festival] “The beautiful, vocal-driven score from composer Carla Patullo is flawless throughout, and the haunting mix of rhythmic breathing and pounding drums serve as a “voice” for the wordless succubus—a perfect companion to Pearce’s on-screen presence.” TOURING PERFORMER, White Widow, National Tour 2008 - 2012 Toured and performed (lead vocals and guitar) with band White Widow at venues and festivals across the US including LOST AT E MINOR [Interview with directors of ‘Cheese Dog: The Movie’] “The dream sequence was also a great opportunity to SXSW, NXNE, Stubb’s (Austin), One World Theater (Austin), The Town Hall (NYC), The Knitting Factory (NYC), and more. showcase the fantastic score by our crazy-talented composer, White Widow (Carla Patullo).” MUEN MAGAZINE [Review of ‘White Widow: A Psychological Thriller’ Soundtrack] “Delving into the world of psychological struggles, this album rides the narrow line between bright-eyed desire and grotesque obsession. White Widow’s visceral work is all about taking the listener on a journey - often building layer upon layer in her songs, and slowly cranking up the emotion to a boiling point.” THE CREATOR’S PROJECT [Review of ‘White Widow: A Psychological Thriller’ Soundtrack] “White Widow’s silent animation, ‘A Psychological Thriller’, is an eerie and erotic ‘Serial Love Affair’.… From head to tail there is definitely a story being told musically.” CURVE Magazine [Feature: ‘White Widow: Caught In Her Web’] “Patullo [White Widow] exudes a ballsy, rock chick vibe and her music is infectious and mainstreamfriendly. You always get the feeling she is one step away from going over the edge, but she never does.” ACOUSTIC MUSIC [Review of ‘White Widow: A Psychological Thriller’ Soundtrack] “‘A Psychological Thriller’ is a marvelous half hour of concept cycling that enthralls, absorbs, saddens, uplifts, and caresses the ear and mind in a tale of deliquescing love. There’s an element of Angelo Badalamenti and Julee Cruise as well, but with a lot more angst, less narco-vapors as some of the instrumental arrangements veer towards Sally Oldfield.” SANDRA BERNHARD [Discussing White Widow on recording of ‘I Love Being Me, Don’t You’] “[Patullo] so fucking raw and groovy that it scares the shit out of me!” VARIETY [on Sandra Bernhard at Town Hall feat. Liza Minnelli and Rufus Wainwright] “Sandra Bernhard’s new show features tracks from her new album and her knowing takes on pop culture. She closed with an inspired mashup of Lita Ford’s “Kiss Me Deadly” and Pink’s “Just Like a Pill” that didn’t sacrifice good vocals for its amusement factor, one of several smart choices by musical director Carla Patullo.”
