Del Piombo

David Anderson Cosgrove, recording as Del Piombo, is not just a composer — he is a cinematic storyteller whose music bridges centuries of sound. A producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist with decades of experience, Del Piombo stands at the intersection of classical composition, progressive rock innovation, and modern sonic design. His work doesn’t simply accompany imagined stories — it creates them.

Drawing from a lifelong devotion to both orchestral form and studio experimentation, Del Piombo’s music captures what he calls “soundtracks for films that don’t exist — but should.” His 50-track anthology Silver Screen Dreams – The Complete Abbey Road Masters represents the culmination of this vision: a monumental collection mastered entirely at London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios by award-winning engineer Simon Gibson. Every piece is a scene in sound — sweeping, emotional, and meticulously crafted.

Del Piombo’s artistic roots run deep. Raised in a family steeped in the performing arts, his lineage traces back to his grandfather, John Nelson Cosgrove, a member of New York’s Silly Center Opera Company, which shared stages with figures like Carl Sandburg and Andrés Segovia. That heritage of artistry and experimentation echoes throughout his work today — in compositions that feel both timeless and forward-looking.

Across his catalog, Del Piombo has become known for weaving together the symphonic scope of John Williams and Ennio Morricone with the boundary-pushing spirit of progressive rock. Albums such as The Del Piombo Sound, Just Play Along, and the orchestral suite American Feathers illustrate his ability to balance grandeur and intimacy — where intricate arrangements meet the emotional resonance of melody and atmosphere.

Every project bears the hallmark of a seasoned producer and engineer. Having spent decades shaping sound across genres, Del Piombo brings an unparalleled precision to his craft — from concept to mastering.

With Silver Screen Dreams, Del Piombo captures the essence of cinematic imagination in its purest form — a world where the music leads, and the story follows. His mission is clear: to reimagine the modern listening experience as something grander, more visual, and infinitely more human.
