Andrea Laszlo De Simone
Grand, cinematic Italian pop that feels like a lost 1970s film score. Lush orchestral swells and intimate vocals for moments of deep reflection.

Andrea Laszlo De Simone creates music that feels like a bridge between the golden age of Italian cantautori and modern psychedelic experimentation. His sound is defined by a massive, sepia-toned scale, utilizing sweeping string arrangements and vintage analog synths that evoke the cinematic grandeur of Ennio Morricone or the progressive pop experiments of Lucio Battisti. It is music that feels both ancient and immediate, wrapped in a warm, dusty production that suggests a rediscovered masterpiece from 1973.
What truly distinguishes him is the contrast between his intimate, almost whispered vocal delivery and the maximalist, orchestral world that surrounds it. He treats the studio as an instrument, layering sounds into dense, circular suites that often bleed into one another, creating a continuous emotional journey. There is a profound sense of circularity and timelessness in his compositions, where themes of birth, death, and the vastness of the universe are explored with a gentle, humble touch.
Start with the EP 'Immensità'. It is a perfect four-track suite that showcases his ability to blend baroque pop with progressive structures. From there, move to 'Uomo Donna' to hear his more eclectic, song-oriented side, or dive into his soundtrack work for 'The Animal Kingdom' to experience his purely atmospheric and textural capabilities.
