Stefano Maccarelli: Award-Winning Sound Designer

Stefano Maccarelli

Sound Design & Composition

With over 25 years of experience in the industry, I am a Sound Designer, Composer, and Audio Engineer dedicated to creating immersive audio experiences.

Experience & Clients

I graduated from the “Roberto Rossellini” School of Cinema & TV and spent over a decade (2007–2020) as the Senior Sound Designer and Composer at Fox Network Group.

My portfolio includes work for major global brands such as Disney, Marvel, National Geographic, Sky, and A&E Network. I specialize in bringing visuals to life through high-end audio post-production, mixing, and sound design.

Sample Libraries & Teaching

Beyond post-production, I am a developer for Zero-G. I created the acclaimed Ethera Gold Series and the Elements Series. These libraries, known for their emotive vocals and meticulous engineering, are used by composers and musicians worldwide to elevate their productions.

I also teach. I hold a position in the Academic Two-Year Sound Design Program at Saint Louis College of Music in Rome, and I lead the Introductory Course in Audio Post-Production at Fonderie Sonore in Rome.

My Philosophy

My goal is to transport audiences into the story through sound. I pride myself on technical precision, creativity, and the ability to exceed client expectations.

Whether you need a cinematic mix or a bespoke soundscape, I am here to bring your project to life.
