FINISTERRE's bass player Fabio Zuffanti released three albums of his own compositions under the name of "HOSTSONATEN". Symphonic band with the participation of FINISTERRE members. The music is pretty much on that band's style, a little less classic prog driven. Good flute passages feature on their symphonic music as well.
After founding Finisterre, contributing as a major composer to the their best works, writing and recording the complex and very welcomed "Merlin - The Rock Opera", Fabio Zuffanti gives new life to the Hostsonaten project. This band is an 'open' group named after a very famous movie by Ingmar Bergman. Hostsonaten represents Fabio's deepest love for progressive rock, jazz, folk and ethnic music. In these last years Hostsonaten is working on the 'Seasoncycle Suite' project, an ambitious concept in four parts and four cds dedicated to the four seasons.
