Fabiano Do Nascimento - Mundo Solo

Recorded at his home studio in Los Angeles (2020) the album is fundamentally
the sound of a man alone with his instruments.

Utilizing a variety of guitars, including 6, 7 and 10 strings, Oktav guitar and electric
baritone guitar, alongside a host of pedals and synthesizers, Fabiano tracked
imagined landscapes with expressive, expansive improvisations, which tend
toward the more ambient and atmospheric reaches of his recent output.

Adopting Hermeto Pascoal's concept of Universal Music, a rejection of
nationalistic tendencies in order to express all of one's musical influences all at
once, Fabiano avoided leaning too heavily on any particular musical language,
without denying his own musical roots.

After studying classical piano as a child, the Rio de Janeiro native discovered the
guitar aged 10. Studying under his late uncle, Lucio Nascimento, he eventually left
Brazil for LA, where he soon became an in- demand player for his distinct and
authentic sound. He has since released seven albums under his own name and
collaborated with renowned Brazilian artists including Arthur Verocai and Airto
Moreira, as well as experimental US saxophonist Sam Gendel.

Mundo Solo (Do Nascimento's eighth), was recorded in one take per track, with
occasional overdubs and a few appearances from collaborators and friends
Julien Canthelm (drums on Etude 1), Ajurina Zwarg, (percussion on CPMV) and
Gabe Noel (Bass on Curumim).

Fabiano Do Nascimento's consummate mastery of his instrument has afforded
him a freedom of expression few can claim. Blending the emotional with the
elemental, Mundo Solo is a stunning snapshot of solitude and the beauty which
can blossom within it.
