In February 2016 Albanese composed and arranged the piece “Shadowland Suite”, an orchestrated version of the tracks Shadow Land pt.1 and 2. He performed the piece in Berlin together with the Deutches Kammerorchester Berlin.

Albanese’s third full-lenght album "By The Deep Sea" will be released via Neue Meister on February 23rd, 2018. About his new record Albanese quotes: “By The Deep Sea is a state of mind in which I find myself quite often. It’s a sort of meditation state, when I try to detach myself from the daily life. In this inner world there is space to get closer to our deepest thoughts, ideas, doubts, close enough to see them clearly, from the right distance, and being able to process them, exorcise them, translate them into something else”- The album features 12 original tracks composed, produced and arranged by Albanese and mixed in August 2017 by Francesco Donadello at Vox-Ton Studio in Berlin.
The release of "By The Deep Sea" was followed by a large tour with a number of sold out shows including the notorious Elbphilarmonie in Hamburg.
In 2019 Federico composed and produced the score of "The Twelve". A documentary that follows twelve masters from around the globe, each carrying an important and long forgotten piece of understanding about our connection to nature and each other. The Original Soiundtrack was released via Neue Meister in may 2019.
In 2020 Albanese has signed to Mercury KX, Decca's genre-defying, multi-disciplinary imprint, home to composers and innovative musicians such as Anoushka Shankar, Ólafur Arnalds and Keaton Henson.
Next on Federico’s agenda is a new album due for release on Mercury KX in 2021..
