It is a deep house track crafted for the quiet hours of a neon-lit metropolis — elegant, dreamy, and suspended in winter.
Set in an imagined Tokyo nightscape, the music unfolds in a deserted corner of the city, where time seems to pause and emotion lingers in the air. A spoken voice narrates a poetic journey through desire, memory, and stillness — a story told not with rhythm, but with breath.

Every sound in this track — including the drums — was created entirely from scratch using an Arturia Microfreak. No presets, no samples. Just raw synthesis sculpted into atmosphere.

The mood is tranquil, cinematic, and introspective — perfect for late-night listening, urban solitude, or drifting through the dreamlike pulse of the city.
Japanese listeners may find echoes of yūgen (幽玄) — the subtle beauty of things left unsaid — woven into the textures and silences of the track.

Frozen Beyond Time 時を超え凍った

Alessandro Di Paola is a versatile composer, producer, and music educator. He balances his role as a middle school teacher with a broad-ranging musical career. With a master's degree in Composition from the Turin Conservatory, he constantly fuses his classical training with electronic music production.

Electronic Music Production
He produces house, deep house, tech house, and techno, and has numerous releases on labels like Youdaone Deutschland and Sideshape Recordings. As a co-founder of Sideshape, he supports other artists and, among other projects, produced the album Inner Jungle for Wicked Expectations.

Music for Advertising and Multimedia
He has composed bespoke music for advertising campaigns. For Simpol Agency, he scored commercials for the French microcar brand Ligier.

Music for Video Games
He has created music and sound effects for games like Karza Football Manager and Pixel Football Manager. His latest significant effort is the soundtrack for The Crazy Hyper-Dungeon Chronicles, a game that won the Critic's Choice Award at Red Bull Indie Forge 2024 and was selected for Indie 80 Tokyo. This is a domain where his classical and electronic skills fully converge.

Contemporary Classical Music
His music is both complex and emotionally engaging, using an expressive language that incorporates dissonance without refusing tonal elements. Inspired by masters like Messiaen, Rautavaara, Penderecki, Rzewski, and Schnittke, his style stands apart from both serialism and trendy "neo-classical" music.

Classical and electronic music are two souls that merge, united by a constant search for sound. This synthesis creates an artistic identity that is both eclectic and adaptable.

moQon is the electronic alias of Alessandro Di Paola — producer, composer, and sonic designer from Turin, Italy. 

His work features original productions, edits, and reworks across house, techno, IDM, glitch, and all the infinite spaces in between. Fragmented sounds, carefully reconstructed — balancing instinct and architecture, emotion and abstraction.

Alessandro’s musical journey began with classical studies at the Conservatory, then split in two: One path devoted to composition and soundtracks, the other immersed in the night — where moQon takes shape. 

A distorted moon. A rhythm pulsing in silence. A voice that doesn’t speak, but resonates.

moQon is not just a name — it’s a method. A tension between control and chaos. Between analog warmth and digital fracture.
