Silence and glass - so alike.  Transparent, or capable of distortion.  A barrier, yet so easily broken.
Piano cello and strings weave, and combine - ever so gently - we don't want to disturb anything.

Our Last Goodbye (Adagio Corto No. 2 For Piano, Brass, Woodwind And Strings) - By Vincent Schiela

Vincent believes in the power of music to take listeners to places they might not otherwise go.  Ambient instrumentals, modern classical/modern chamber, and piano solos, evoking beauty, sadness, regret, and hope. In style, Vincent's instrumental compositions have been compared with Max Richter, and Erik Satie.
In addition to ambient instrumental compositions, Vincent writes, records and performs as a singer-songwriter - Americana-ish-folkie-tinged pop-flavored sometimes retro songs with ambient lyrical sprinkles and the expected singer-songwriter angst and introspection, delivered with an authentic indie vocal style.
Vincent has performed with bands and artists in the Philadelphia and New York City area, but is currently focused on writing and producing in-studio, with occasional solo appearances in listening rooms around the Philadelphia area.
Vincent's latest release, "The Passage" is available at: https://vincentschiela.bandcamp.com/
Vincent is a published composer with 10Miles, music library and label focusing on music of the Mediterranean and MidEast. His recordings of three compositions - piano solos - were released on 10Miles "SoloPiano - Mideast Mediterranea 3" in March 2020: "Balkan Moon Dance" (renamed - formerly "Balerin Nate"), "Walking with Ismail", and "Elira is Dreaming" - available at https://www.universalproductionmusic.com/en-lae/discover/albums/23094/solopiano-mideast-mediterranea-3.  Vincent's piano solos have popped up on BBC television as well as European internet radio.

A variety of Vincent's compositions are available for listening:
