March 21, 2024, marked the release of Ascoltare, the brand-new classical guitar single by guitarist and composer Alessandro De Fusco. A piece born from the need to rediscover the true value of listening in an era dominated by noise and constant distraction.

Ascoltare is an invitation to slow down, to perceive every sound with greater awareness, and to reconnect deeply with the world and oneself. Through the delicacy of his classical guitar notes, De Fusco takes the listener on a sonic journey that echoes the silent pulse of nature, an ideal place for an intimate and authentic dialogue.

The track was recorded with the contribution of Francesco Coia, while the official video was curated by Alessandro De Fusco himself. The guitar used in the recording is a fine Maple Handmade Guitar, crafted by luthier Enzo Pascariello.

The single is available now on all major digital platforms.

Alessandro De Fusco, a guitarist and composer from Campania, is currently a teacher at Lizard Accademie Musicali in Rome. After studying classical guitar at the “Nicola Sala” Conservatory in Benevento, he expanded his musical research by also studying electric guitar at the Lizard Academy in Rome.

Already well known in the progressive metal scene under the stage name Alexander Layer, De Fusco has released several successful albums, including Fenrir (2018), Huginn Muninn (2019), and Sounds From The Labs (2021), collaborating with internationally renowned artists such as Marco Sfogli and David Folchitto. In 2023, he decided to separate his solo career from progressive metal, releasing his first classical music album, Nel Silenzio, which led him to perform across Italy.

After a period of artistic reflection and renewal, Alessandro De Fusco returns with Ascoltare, a piece that marks a refined and introspective turning point in his musical journey.
