Using an array of leaves he has plucked from the ground, Stocco has created a series of sounds and beats that will have people's heads bobbing in no time. With huge musical credentials backing him up, including sequences for the video game Assassin’s Creed and the television show 'The Tudors,' Stocco does not disappoint with his more experimental endeavor, Duet for Leaves & Turntable.
