Pino Forastiere performs at 2006 edition

Born in Latronico, Italy, Pino Forastiere moved with his family to Rome in his early childhood.

In 1992 he graduated from Santa Cecilia Conservatory with a degree in classical guitar, taking his final exam with a ten-string classical guitar.

In the following years, he used this ten-string guitar in live performances with original repertoire. In 1996 he laid down this instrument and picked up a six-string acoustic guitar.

He has studied composition and chamber music, performed in various ensembles with classical or original repertoire, and collaborated with jazz, experimental, electronic and pop projects.

it's not really minimlism... most of the work is slightly too elaborate to call it that, but the thing that happens from 2:20 to 3:00 is pretty minimalist, as it involves a 2 note pattern which threads its way through some harmonic movement
