Edoardo Fainello was born in Venice on the 17th December 1969. He strated to study music at the age of 10 and was just 15 when he joined his first musical group, the Extra Pressure. At the age of 17, together with a few members from other groups, he formed Kyo and began composing music and lyrics inspired by David Sullivan’s Japanese sounds. After three years he decided to leave the group and start composing as a solo artist, dedicating his attention exclusively to instrumental music. His first work, “Hunted”, is the soundtrack to a documentray film on human rights presented for the first time in Padova in 1993. This work was followed by numerous other soundtracks in collaboration with other musiicans from the Venice area. In 1999 Edoardo composed his second album, “Moonlighting”, which became something of an icon for fans of Mike Oldfield who saw in Fainello the style of the creator of “Tubular Bells”. He also received numerous prizes for his soundtrack of “Top of the World”. Edoardo’s third album, “Apnea” - ten tracks united by the sound of the Duduk - marked a new evolution in which electronica started to leave space for ethnic contamination. It was the birth of the “Kahman” project, the name under which Edoardo would compose from then onwards. The composer’s biggest challenge came with “Bridge to Babel”, a 55 minute suite for orchestra, electric and electronic instruments. More recently Edoardo has started working in the theatre both as actor and director, composing the music to his own theatrical works. The latest of these is a double album inspired by the Murakami Haruki’s novel “Hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world”. At the same time he is collaborating on the arrangement of a new Top Secret album for a well-known Italian lady singer.

    “Apnea” and “Hard-boiled wonderland and the end of the world”: It would be nice if people were able to listen. Makes me very curious anyway.

    “The composer’s biggest challenge came with “Bridge to Babel”, a 55 minute suite for orchestra, electric and electronic instruments.”

    I wonder how long it took him to compose something like this. As a composer myself, it sometimes takes me a few months to compose a 10 minute piece, but everyone works at different paces. The electronic ensemble must sound interesting, but 55 minutes long for a piece is too long! Can you imagine sitting still for that long while you listen to a piece like that? I don’t even know if I can do that, and I am a hardcore instrumental music listener!

    Dutch, you can listen! There is a link at the bottom of the post!

    Mike, I guess it’s a bit like Al Jarreau or sitting down and listening to a complete CD only that whereas the CD is made up of different ’songs’ or ‘pieces’ in this case it is a suite so the breaks will be ‘movements’… I haven’t heard it myself but I hope to…
