Pino Forastiere : Circolare
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.
Pino Forastiere : Rag Tap Boom
Solo Guitar (Italy Import)
“A gifted new acoustic guitarist making waves out of Italy, Forastiere... recorded without overdubs or special effects, Rag Tap Boom is a fitting showcase for Forastiere’s superb acoustic guitar work.” Robert Silverstein – 20th Century Guitar
