Dario Elia

As a musician, singer, composer, and producer, Dario Elia is an important part of the Italian progressive music scene. His music has been often compared to David Sylvian, Nick Cave, Brian Eno, and Robert Fripp. He has a huge number of active collaborations with many international musicians and sound artists. In the last years, he was extensively touring in Italy, Russia, Spain, Serbia, Japan, United States, Armenia, Moldova, Thailand, and Germany. His songwriting borders on ambient art-rock and post-jazz. Minimalist and psychedelic elements, sound installations, natural acoustic sounds, emotive electronica, multilingual lyrics, and hypnotic beats, make his style highly recognizable. www.darioelia.com www.youtube.com/darioelia www.facebook.com/darioeliamusic "So rich in interesting experiments...
