HOSTSONATEN
- Fabio Zuffanti Project
 After
founding "Finisterre", contributing as a major composer to the their
best works, writing and recording the complex and very welcomed opus entitled
"Merlin" - the Rock Opera", the profile Fabio Zuffanti gives new
life to the project he probaly loves most: Hostsonaten. Fabio
Zuffanti was born in Genova (Italy). A self-taught musician, from 1993
that became bass player and essential pawn in Finisterre and in
all his projects. In 1997 and 1998 he recorded two solo album under the
title "Hostsonaten", a project that skillfully fuses Rock Music, Folk,
Jazz and Classical Influences.
"Springsong" is dedicated to and if is inspired by the intimate legacy between man and nature. Looking at the time when humans were living by the rhythmis and fruits of nature, the music of "Springsong" has the colours of the masterpieces of the Renaissance masters: no studio tricks, no playing machines, but only the "real" artists imagination, sensibility and touch. But also the packaging has the flavour of that times so flourishing for the arts; bound in paperboards it comes with 10 cards with breathtaking images taken from "The Bible Of Borso D'Este", one of the best mankind's artistic treasure, painted with thousands illuminations by the monks. For this adventurous trip, Fabio Zuffanti trooped some current and former Finisterre members as Stefano Marelli, Agostino Macor, Boris Valle and Francesca Biagini, as well as some very talented musicians who normally approach rock music in a different way. The result is a special mixture of powerful modern sounds and exotic and unusual voices of ancient instruments that give "Springsong" a unique and original flavour. Music: Fabio Zuffanti.
