I just spent the last 40 minutes and 4 seconds listening to the whole of Pino Forastiere's newest album, Village Life.
It's one of the most beautiful and captivating musical works I've heard in quite a while, and I feel compelled to share it with anyone who cares. In a time where there's so much noise, smoke and mirrors, and with the majority "watching music" instead of "listening" to it. Pino has remained steadfast and true as an artist, a real artist. Pushing boundaries and venturing into uncharted sonic landscapes. He literally designed a new 16 string "Lab" guitar and composed all the songs on it, except for the track "Underground" which he composed for the piano and two marimbas. The guitar itself is a beautiful work of art and what he created with it, is truly captivating and moving. I found myself transported into the village of Tivoli, a historical town in Italy where he moved to, and the village life which gave birth to the new songs. I have never been to Italy, let alone Tivoli but when I closed my eyes and really listened, it felt like I was right there. Do check out his album, it's one of the best 40 mins of my life that I've spent this year thus far. http://www.pinoforastiere.com/village-life-new-release/
