“Silent Mountains” is a newly released solo piano single by Italian composer and pianist Raffaele Scoccia. Inspired by a winter day spent high in the Dolomites, the piece reflects a period of introspection and renewed creative clarity for the artist.
Known for his wide ranging work across genres (including projects under his Moon Rocket alias), Scoccia returns here to the piano as his primary voice, offering a deeply personal and expressive composition rooted in stillness, nature and balance.
Released today, Marco Di Stefano’s concept album Far Inside is a journey into the extremes of human emotion.
A former metal guitarist turned orchestral storyteller, Di Stefano merges the emotional sweep of classical composition with the narrative precision of modern scoring. His decade of study with contemporary masters Giovanni D’Aquila, Adriano Guarnieri and Belgian composer Luc Brewaeys, combined with his training under celebrated game composer Jason Graves, has honed a composition style that is very much cinematic at its core.
