Guitar Republic is the new solo-duo-trio concert by Sergio Altamura, Stefano Barone and Pino Forastiere: music in the widest sound spectrum you may imagine, from the pure acoustic guitar sound to experimental electronics. Rock, improvisation, minimalism, mediterranean colors and rhythms are performed on the same stage by three different citizens of the same Guitar Republic.
Guitar Republic è il nuovo progetto che riunisce in solo-duo-trio Sergio Altamura, Stefano Barone e Pino Forastiere: un'ora e mezza di musica nel più ampio spettro sonoro concepibile, dalla nudità del puro suono acustico alla sperimentazione del suono elettronico. Rock, improvvisazione, minimalismo, colori e ritmi mediterranei nella musica di tre diversi cittadini della stessa Repubblica armonica.
Solo Acoustic Guitar
Sergio Altamura latest release plays more like a movie soundtrack than a instrumental guitar CD. Aria Meccanica plays out scene by scene, creating countless images and setting dark and beautiful moods throughout. Through Altamura's innovative use of looping and effects he takes the compositions to impossible heights and adds so many layers of texture, it builds to full orchestra.
CD/DVD
A live performance by Italian guitarist, Pino Forastiere. Filmed in late-2008; the performance is both beautiful and technically stunning at the same time.
Solo Acoustic Guitar
Stefano Barone's debut CD features entirely original compositions, ranging from the funk of Spankie to the intimate melodies of The Return, to tracks of more complex execution and performance like Metronix, Batman, Alexander Supertramp and Minimalaction, a composition for 12 guitars which he usually performs live with the help of a multitrack machine.
