Brief
“Angels on Our Shoulders” serves as the powerful second single from the conceptual album, “Far Inside.” This collection of cinematic music guides the listener on a profound auditory journey inward—an exploration of our most fundamental emotions and ancestral connections.
A musical meditation on heroism, the track evokes the gravitas of legendary film scores such as “Saving Private Ryan,” while seamlessly weaving in influences from 20th-century composers, all presented in a distinctly modern voice.
A commanding brass section drives the piece forward, anchored by a rich foundation of strings and formidable percussion. This orchestral force is artfully blended with contemporary electronic elements, creating a sound that is both timeless and immediate.
The piece was brought to life in November 2024 at Sofia’s acclaimed Doli Media Studio, featuring a stellar performance by the European Recording Orchestra. In a testament to his hands-on approach, composer Di Stefano conducted the brass section himself.
