• Roberto Paci Dalò & Fabio Mina

Fabio plays from his home in Riccione.

Fabio Mina plays flute and electronics and he's mostly an improviser. For him improvisation is the best tool that allows you to get in touch with the moment, with the situation, listening deeply what is happening outside and inside you while you’re creating music. Being attracted by different musical approaches and ideas, he studied North-Indian, and Japanese music, also through the practicing and various kind of winds and Jaws Harp. Since 2007 he has started to collaborate with Markus Stockhausen, playing with him in several festivals in Europe. Further he plays with the Norwegian guitarist Geir Sundstøl. His last album HIGH WINDS MAY EXIST, released by the Osaka based label Da Vinci, is inspired by the wind.

Now he's about to release his new album Lonesome Tracks, crossing over the ideas of loneliness, extinction, resistance, strength, vision and nature. He tries to create a flute portrait with no cliché, deepening the underestimated nuances of the flute and its “voice”; furthermore with pedal effects he produces an even larger specter of sounds, focusing on different kinds of delays and harmonizers, creating a kind of music made of contrast, from density to emptiness.
