Marco Di Stefano – Bio

Marco Di Stefano

I started creating 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.
I started early to play guitar and piano; soon I began to compose my music and focus more on composition and orchestration techniques.
Since then I had the pleasure to study for a decade 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.
I use music as a story telling tool. Most of my compositions have been inspired by introspective reflections, stories or pictures.
My top three inspiring composers are Ennio Morricone, Goffredo Petrassi and Igor Stravinsky.
