tino aureli
Tino Aureli is an Italian composer by origin. Although he has lived in England for the last 30 years, his music has retained a very strong continental feel for which he is very proud. The blues tinged riffs of his guitar, demonstrates fluid inventiveness and composition flair throughout his music. He takes away the Player's attitude in the composition, and writes music that has its own logic and reason for being.
He has been a professional musician for many years, playing live gigs all over Europe. Since he decided not to play live as much, he has missed the creativity and the buzz he used to get from it. The advent of computers, has restored some of it by given him the opportunity to put some of his compositions in to digital sound.

Tino music manages to combine immediacy with certain off the wall unpredictability.
You think that you have herd guitar music like this before, and then the tracks dodge sharp right through an opening of chord progressions completely unexpected. Not so much complicated, just an unexpected choice of chord progressions.
The clever arrangements tips, in his music, include tempo fluctuations, unusual chord progressions and a touch of unexpected transpositions.
