Fabio Cerina

g, perc, *1973
Musician / Composer of Rock
A.k.a. Fausto

Musician, composer and experimenter, Fabio Cerina born in Sardinia in 1973. At 14 he starts to play guitar. In 1996, he is a founding member of Bron-y-aur, an avant-rock band with hard-psych, kraut and free-jazz influences. With the quartet he records and issues 5 albums (many of them with Wallace Records) until 2007 when the band broke up for logistic reasons. During the experience with this band he develops the experimental and improvising approach which keep being essential ingredients of his style as a guitarist and composer. In 2005 he founded Plasma Expander in Cagliari. With the trio he plays an instrumental rock which balances structure and improvisation, noise and groove. With the band he records and issues 5 albums with several italian independent labels and with Wallace Records always present. He also plays hundreds of concerts in Italy, Europe (Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland) and recently in the US. Plasma Expander are about to record the material for their 6th album with Simon Balestrazzi. Actually he is also involved in the solo project Uncle Faust, where he is developing and more introspective, relaxed and soft approach to psychedelic music. He recently also founded a duo project STUN, together with the percussionist Alessandro Cau. Stun music is a step ahead of Plasma Expander, with a more experimental approach, touching the most extreme territories of improvisation joint with geometric, repetitive, noise and psychedelic moments. He played and shared the stage with: Oneida, Man Forever (Kid Millions), Damo Suzuki, Xabier Iriondo, Paolo Cantù, Luca Ciffo, Fabio Ferrario, Simon Balestrazzi, Hermetic Brotherhood of Lux-Or, Mattia Coletti, Bruno Dorella, Stefania Pedretti, Diego Sapignoli, Jacopo Andreini, Mat Pogo, Edoardo Ricci, Jealousy Party, Raffaele Pilia and many more.
