Solo Acoustic Guitar & Trio

From 1 to 8 is a collection of eight beautiful new compositions for contemporary acoustic guitar. Or - depending on who's listening - it's a collection of eight study etudes for guitarists, focusing on composition, deep musicality and intricate technique.

Acoustic Guitar Trio

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.

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 Guitar

Italian guitarist, Pino Forastiere is a remarkable virtuoso. His techniques and musical ideas are a true mix of acoustic and classical guitar styles. "Why Not?" is his third solo release and is the most bold in terms of style and composition.

Solo Guitar

“Circolare” is a thought of togertherness in the future tense, not only in music: the rhythm of Mediterranean popular dances fuses with certain dissonances, algid at times, coming from European contemporary and minimalist production; South American beat merges into Blues, and all is mixed up in an alchemy. The guitar execution gives an effect of orchestration, thanks to the use of alternative tunings and techniques: all the tracks were recorded live, without overdubbing.
