Across the River

The music for Across the River is courtesy of Italian composer and musician Stefano Sciascia.

The soundtrack album for Across the River is a compilation of original music interspersed with pieces licensed from the composer's previous albums. Seven compositions had previously appeared on Sciascia's acclaimed concept album Lux ex Tenebris (2010), a Gothic sounding visual-aural-musical narration highlighting the versatility of double bass. Two pieces come from the composer's earlier album Mantra 22.22 (2004) and there's also an original composition which the composer wrote especially for the film. Haunting, moody and mysterious, Sciascia's meditative compositions prove that licensed music can be as effective as original scoring as long as the music is utilized the right way.
