Track List
Far Out Recordings proudly presents the new album from Brazilian guitarist and composer Fabiano do Nascimento.
Recorded at his home studio in Los Angeles (2020) Mundo Solo is fundamentally the sound of a man alone with his instruments.
Utilizing a variety of guitars, including 6, 7 and 10 strings, Oktav guitar and electric baritone guitar, alongside a host of pedals and synthesizers, Fabiano tracked imagined landscapes with expressive, expansive improvisations, which tend toward the more ambient and atmospheric reaches of his recent output.
Adopting Hermeto Pascoal’s concept of Universal Music, a rejection of nationalistic tendencies in order to express all of one’s musical influences all at once, Fabiano avoided leaning too heavily on any particular musical language, without denying his own musical roots.
After studying classical piano as a child, the Rio de Janeiro native discovered the guitar aged 10. Studying under his late uncle, Lucio Nascimento, he eventually left Brazil for LA, where he soon became an in-demand player for his distinct and authentic sound. He has since released seven albums under his own name and collaborated with renowned Brazilian artists including Arthur Verocai and Airto Moreira, as well as experimental US saxophonist Sam Gendel.
Mundo Solo (Do Nascimento’s eighth), was recorded in one take per track, with occasional overdubs and a few appearances from collaborators and friends Julien Canthelm (drums on Etude 1), Ajurinã Zwarg, (percussion on CPMV) and Gabe Noel (Bass on Curumim).
Fabiano Do Nascimento’s consummate mastery of his instrument has afforded him a freedom of expression few can claim. Blending the emotional with the elemental, Mundo Solo is a stunning snapshot of solitude and the beauty which can blossom within it.

Fabiano Do Nascimento — who also has "Das Nuvens" on Leaving Records and an album with Sam Gendel on Real World lined up — presents his new album "Mundo Solo," released via Brazilian music specialists Far Out Recordings. True to the title, it's largely recorded solo, with Fabiano making full use of 6-string, 7-string and 10-string guitars, octave guitar and electric baritone guitar. Friends also lend a hand: Julian Cantelm (drums on "Etude 1"), Ajurinan Zwarg (percussion on "CPMV") and Gabe Noel (bass on "Curumim"). The multi-layered sounds and synthesizers create a depth unlike anything he's done before. Wonderful. In his words: "Adopting Hermeto Pascoal's concept of universal music, I set out to strip away nationalistic tendencies and express all of my influences at once." (Original Japanese text by Saito)
