Del Piombo
Del Piombo is the musical alter ego of composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer and sonic storyteller David Cosgrove. With more than three decades of experience across composition, engineering, performance, and production, Del Piombo bridges orchestral form, progressive rock, ambient texture, and cinematic soundscapes. The work is defined by atmosphere, narrative, and emotional movement—music built as if scoring films that haven’t been made yet.
The Sound
Del Piombo creates what he calls “soundtracks for films that don’t exist — but should.” His compositions combine classical structure, modern production, and genre-fluid creativity to form immersive listening experiences. From intimate piano themes to bold orchestral surges and electric-guitar driven crescendos, each piece is designed to ignite the imagination and pull the listener into a visual world of their own.
Releases Include:
• Silver Screen Dreams – The Complete Abbey Road Masters
• The Del Piombo Sound
• BRASIL

These albums highlight the full range of Del Piombo’s work, from reflective ambient pieces to sweeping cinematic movements and rock-inflected arrangements. You can explore the full catalog and stream current releases at delpiombo.com.
Roots, Mission, and Approach
Del Piombo is the culmination of lifelong musical exploration. Influenced by both classical composition and experimental production, David Cosgrove channels his technical and creative background into music that is rich, emotive, and distinctly visual. His goal is to reshape the listening experience into something more cinematic—music not just to hear, but to picture, to feel, and to remember.

Circus! The Media!
Circus! The Media! is the resurrected voice of Maestro Fury — the band David Cosgrove, Rob Joeckel, and Mitch Banks formed in a West Hartford bedroom in the summer of 1990, when three young musicians committed six songs to four-track cassette and then let life carry them in separate directions. The tapes survived thirty-six years in a shoebox. In 2026, using AI stem separation to un-fuse mixes that had been welded to tape forever, engineer Tom MacLean rebuilt the recordings at Twelve Tone Studios — not a cleanup but a resurrection. Progressive-rock ambition, late-eighties hard-rock teeth, and savage satirical wit, the sound is louder, wider, and stranger than a bedroom in 1990 could ever have produced.
