Fabio Zuffanti's Projects

'Se c'è lei', the new single from 'La foce del ladrone'.

Exit October 10, 2011, 'Se c'è lei', the new single from the lucky third Zuffanti solo album, 'La foce del ladrone'.

The album, driven by the single 'Musica strana', has proved a great success with nearly 1000 copies sold in a few months. The single also supported by an extraordinary word of mouth on Facebook and Twitter and various radio steps over most of the Italian, was shared by over 6000 people.
 
The choice of the second single is an absolute must for Fabio, 'Se c'è lei' is a very important song for the musician. Surely with an atmosphere very different from 'Musica strana' but no less captivating. The way in which it was created to lead inevitably to be a song a little detached from what usually goes on the radio, it is in fact almost a 'chamber' piece for voice, piano and string quartet. But this peculiarity is its size. Buoyed by an unforgettable chorus and a suspended between dream and reality is definitely one of the best pieces, if not the best, that Zuffanti ever wrote.

* Boris Valle and Fabio Zuffanti

It 'available on iTunes and various other download platforms the CD project with Fabio Zuffanti and Finisterre pianist Boris Valle. This is an album for piano and electronics on the heels of the work of Eno / Budd and Sakamoto / Noto. The album also contains a contemporary piece for ensemble composed and recorded by the two musicians in 1996 and reworked for the occasion. 

The 'physical' CD should be available from November 2012 to AMS records. 


* Hostsonaten: New Project 'serialized' in 2012

Fabio Zuffanti is working on a new Hostsonaten project based on famous poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 'The rime of the ancient mariner'. 

Zuffanti conceives the idea to work on a musical version of the poem in 1995. The first two parts are in fact in the first two Hostsonaten albums ('Hostsonaten', 1996 and 'Mirrorgames', 1998) but the realization of these never fully satisfied the composer who decides to suspend the project.

In 2011, at the end of the successfull tetralogy 'Seasoncycle suite', Fabio decided to take up work on 'The rime ...' and bring it to a conclusion.The project will be divided into two cds: The first, release in 2012, will feature the prologue and the first four parts of the poem, the second in 2013 with the remaining three parts and the epilog.

The two parts that have already published will be completely re-recorded. The vocals of the first four parts will be assigned to four different singers who will try to explore, interpret and return to the listeners the emotions of the dark and dreamy Coleridge's poem.The recordings will begin in November 2011 and the release of the first cd is scheduled for spring 2012.

The musicians who will join Fabio will be Maurizio Di Tollo (drums), Luca Scherani (keyboards), Matteo Nahum (guitars), Sylvia Trabucco (violin) and Joanne Roan (flute). In addition to these a long series of guests will embellish the sound with their instruments.

You can find all the updates on Zuffanti's Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/fabiozuffanti) and on Hostsonaten's one (http://www.facebook.com/hostsonaten).

 * 'Merlin - The rock opera' Reprint

Zuffanti next November will be working on the remix and remaster of his musical 'Merlin', whose libretto is the work of British director Victoria Heward. The double album, originally published in 2000 by Iridea Records, long out of print due to the closure of the label and his profile in recent years on the collectors' market have achieved notable figures.

AMS records will produce and distribute the reprint expected to be available early next year. For the occasion Zuffanti will remix the work, remastered in high definition and re-record some musical parts. The double CD will also include several bonus tracks. To top it all the graphics will be completely renovated and the work will be released in deluxe package papersleeve gatefold LP-replica with a large booklet containing photographs, lyrics and script.
