One of the best ambient tune I've heard, the slow building at the beginning makes the difference... It breathes.

wonderful production with a certain mood that let coming strong imaginations into my mind. 

Reflective, wistful and thoughtful. The strings and the piano carry the emotive body of the track, whilst the shimmering pads and immersive sombre but dreamy atmosphere, makes this a wonderful treat on headphones. Gorgeous, Pasquale, 

I felt some nostalgia in this track. Wonderful atmopshere full of details... beautiful work!

Nothing serious here, just a late night session I did to relieve myself of what's on my mind. Thought I'd post it up on here anyway, so it doesn't add up to the pile of tracks I got sleeping on my HDD.

Oh and it's a free download too.

The Mess Inside

Back To Work

I have always been fascinated by rain and a wet city scene in Zurich, Switzerland inspired me. It’s incredible how rain affects the view of a landscape; the soft mist just rising in the distance; the entire place suddenly taking on shades of blue and grey; the moving, undefined clouds in the sky. That entire place feels frozen in time, like a photo, a portrait.

"With “Rain Says” we have an exquisite combination of strings, piano, and synths, which are bolstered by field recordings of rain, which are arranged in such a way as to faintly imply percussion. The explorations of dissonance and arrhythmic patterns coupled with beautiful melody and complementary string sections creates an interesting counterpoint, ripe with tension, which is relieved when the rain takes over again. A simply gorgeous track." - Igloo Magazine

Halo -  Rain Says

This is a piano arrangement of a beautiful song by myristica. Beyond the glow is a warm song, a lovely 3/4 piece that will surelywarm the cold days of your winter. I imagined listening to this at home,while out is raining and inside the hearth is lit, playing something atthe piano. So I thought it could fit well the song's spirit to give it aloose waltz feel in the central part, while letting the sensation fromthe sorrounding ambience emerge in the end, where the piano sound getslost in the atmosphere. I hope you'll like this arrangement, I tried to mantain the theme of beyond the glow, freely changing the end and thebeginning in a way that could fit the song well.

Halo - Spring in Greyscale

Yesterday I listened to a beautiful and simple piano improvisation by David Smith, http://soundcloud.com/oxfordambient/zart, and I thought it could have been beautiful to collaborate on the track. I initially thought only to add strings, then I came up with this remix. Free download, hope you'll like it!

Need a Name - Rain, Roads and Lights (Halo Remix)

'Scenes from the four seasons' is a collection of unreleased tracks and b-sides from 2012, running through the four seasons and stopping at some intimate moments in Winter, a tranquil evening in Autumn, two seaside scenes between Spring and Summer. 

I decided to have all these tracks together in this collection not only because of the common theme, but above all because, when I started working on my first modern classical album, that will be released later this year, I didn't want to left all these works incomplete, even if they were mostly expression of ideas and style still imperfect and evolving.

However I'm sure you'll find a moment of peace and tranquillity in these notes, and even some passages that represents your life during the seasons, an intimate moment, as when you're at home and the snow starts falling in winter, or when you first see the seaside in spring.

Thank you for taking time to listen to these songs.
All your support is appreciated, especially in view of a strings recording session for the production of my new modern classical album.
