Guitarist and Composer Paolo Angeli, An Innovator Like No Other
Description
Composer, guitarist, and instrument builder Paolo Angeli is from the Italian island of Sardinia, and his instrument began as a chiterra sarda, a large, slightly deeper member of the guitar family. But over the years he has added multiple layers of strings: harp strings, sitar strings, motorized hammers, pickups, propellers, movable bridges, kalimba, and so much more – attached to the body of the guitar to help multiply the sonic possibilities. Then, there are the pedals! Paolo Angeli, as a one-man-orchestra with foot percussion, and traditional Sardinian vocals, performs new compositions from his latest, Nijar, in-studio.
Set list: 1. Monologo de la Luna 2. Nijar 3. Ramas de Suenos 4. Telon 5. A tour of the prepared Sardinian guitar
