Sonologyst is the solo project of Italian artist Raffaele Pezzella, devoted to exploring the interplay between sound and contemporary mythologies. His music moves between scientific and Fortean documentary-style soundscapes and the sculpting of post-industrial sonic environments, often drawing on themes such as cosmic horror, space exploration, secret histories, and the unseen forces shaping human existence. As Sonologyst, Pezzella’s albums, including works released on Cold Spring Records, are noted for their cinematic scope and psychological depth. Critics have praised his ability to merge documentary realism with abstract atmospherics, creating immersive sound worlds that feel both intellectual and otherworldly, inviting listeners to inhabit the spaces between science and speculation. Since 2014, Pezzella has been serving as the curator of Unexplained Sounds, a 'Global Network of Aural Disorientation.' The network's primary label, Unexplained Sounds Group, was established in 2015. Currently, the network encompasses subsidiaries such as Eighth Tower Records, ZeroK, and Reverse Alignment. In 2021, Eighth Tower label expanded its offerings to include book publications and an online magazine (Eighth Tower). Additionally, Pezzella hosts a streaming radio program titled 'The Recognition Test.' Sonologyst's recordings have been released by notable labels including Cold Spring Records, Unexplained Sounds Group, Eighth Tower Records, Gravity's Rainbow Tapes, and Attenuation Circuit.

"I'm a mellow artist, ageing 69. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli ‘amateurs’, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute

 
"I'm not like the avant-garde artist who is always concerned about being new and original," he said. "I have a lot of fun with cliches and archetypal musical elements, no matter where they come from, whether it's Rock-and-Roll or Jazz or a Beethoven String Quartet.
I mean, I'm not afraid to go back and use that material in a way that is somewhat unexpected and new. But my credo is not to be original in everything I do. I like dipping back and taking things we've heard before and putting them in a new set of clothes, or maybe placing them in a new room."

“It is rich, always beautiful, intelligent, “humane” , sometimes sweet, sometimes aggressive, expresses a whole lot of emotions but always in a “contained” way in one word it reflects the totality of life.”
- Composer Adam Kondor, the late ‘NetNewMusic’ discussion (2009) “The Music of Steve Moshier”

“Moshier often builds minimalist tension with a melody of about four notes, taking its variations into seductively intense territory”
– Jennifer Fisher, LA Times

“Moshier’s score veered towards melody – Bach-like inventions”
- Victoria Looseleaf, LA Times

“Bold and Intuitive”
- Lewis Segal, LA Times
