The composer/drummer/ clarinetist, Italian born and naturalized U.S. citizen, has finally produced "Beyond the Blue". The executive co-producer of the album is Paul G. Kohler for Art of Life Records.

The 12 tracks, totaling 64 minutes, are previously unreleased original compositions by Andrea Marcelli chosen from music he has composed over the past several years in Los Angeles, New York and Berlin.

Completing the final picture of the project is the CD artwork. Designed by Paul G.Kohler, it includes several oil artworks by Andrea Marcelli painted in the same period in which the music was composed.
