Marco Di Stefano replied to Marco Di Stefano's discussion Portrait #4 - Flooded Memories"Thanks,
indeed scope of this track is to create a story for the picture and yes you can define it an ambient track.
My intention was to materialize with music the memories of the boy.
About radiohead you are right, around minute 3:00 it reminds me…"
Kevin Arsenault replied to Marco Di Stefano's discussion Portrait #4 - Flooded Memories"Hey Marco,
Great ambient track! I do think like roger that this is more of a wandering piece than a directed one, but to me this isn't a bad thing. Is it me or do I get some sort of radiohead vibe mixed with something else while listening to…"
"Marco, that IS precisely what I heard and how I interpreted it. No title necessary lol good job!"
Marco Di Stefano replied to Marco Di Stefano's discussion Portrait #4 - Flooded Memories"Hi Roger,
thanks for listening and for the feedback!

- I started to create music back in the 90s using a primitive midi software. Music and Information Technology have, since then, sculptured my life.
Today my time is split between being an IT freelancer and a composer.
My musical studies kicked-off with guitar and piano lessons; very early I started to write my music and focus more on composition and orchestration techniques.
Since then I had the pleasure to study with three respectful composers: Giovanni D'Aquila (Palermo), Adriano Guarnieri (Bologna) and Luc Brewaeys (Bruxelles).
Together we explored both the classical and contemporary composing approaches. My personal composing style can be described as a mix of both paradigms with a continuous reminiscence of my early classical influences from composers like Chopin and Debussy. My top three inspiring composers are Ennio Morricone, Goffredo Petrassi and Igor Stravinsky.
