GABRIELE BELLINI
International top-level guitarist and professional teacher, reviewed by the most famous rock magazines, Gabriele Bellini has always been able to maintain his own original identity, combining his impeccable technique with a deep inspiration coming from his ever-travelling soul in search of experimentations through the sounds, new limits and musical boundaries. He shouldered his fir
st guitar when he was 11 years old studying for several years as an autodidact (not by choice) and collecting an infinite variety of methods (books , magazines , VHS, CD and DVD), mainly from overseas . In 1986 he started teaching guitar . Eclectic musician from the beginning, by his scratchy guitar he set out on a long introspective journey to discover all that can contribute to the personal creation of a new world to be modelled in the present life by the force of will. After about 20 years of several projects and artistic collaborations (Exodus - Hyaena - Ammagamma - Antonio Aiazzi - RitmeniaZoo - Andrea Agresti - Artelettrica - Dynamo ..), after a dozen albums and countless live shows, these ideas laid the foundation of ‘P. A. S. E.’ , his first solo album in 2006, which will be followed in 2008 by ‘DE REVOLUTIONIBUS ORBIUM CELESTIUM’, mainly instrumental album and second stage of the dream-like journey of the Master. In 2009 ‘EVOLUTION’ has been the third effort/stage of his journey (ending the first Master’s trilogy) and summarized important issues such as research, dream, reality, knowledge, future. In 2009 Andrea Agresti’s new album (la "Iena") came out and the Master was entrusted to deal with arrangements, guitars and bass. ‘HUMAN’S SOUND SIGNAL’ (2012) is a ‘best-of’ rearranged and remixed sung-tracks of this versatile musician. This album had a large critical approval and met public favour. In 2010 he also created the new project PULSE-R with Giacomo ‘Jac’ Salani, Mirko ‘Bassbreaker’ Serra and Michel Agostini: an unpredictable, essential, ironic, melodic band representing the rock fusion of different and alternative worlds which are apparently opposite to each other. In 2012 it was the turn of ‘RECREATION – The Day of Mind’, dedicated to those who believe that their will is the primary force to be able to realize everything and based on the idea that the possibility of creating a new world that belongs to us really is not a utopia. In December 2012 Master Gabriele Bellini presented the ‘UNDERWORLD COLLECTION, Chapter I: COLLISION’, the sound of submerged talents: 14 artists crossing all boundaries of genres. He wished to promote with all possible forces the underground music scene full of talents who would have a lot of difficulties to emerge on their own.
‘INSIDE THE SPECTRUM’ (under the name GBMC, 2013) was not only a project but an intense emotion, a journey of passion that expands in the memories and thoughts arising and taking shape in the hearts of Gabriele Bellini and Mario Candido (both of them former members of the band Hyaena, Bellini’s first project). Bellini produced in November 2013 the second chapter of ‘UNDERWORLD COLLECTION, Chapter II: INVASION part 1’. This time the project was addressed to various band without exclusion of genres. In July 2014, with the inseparable Giacomo Jac Salani (vice president and owner of LA FUCINA STUDIO), the Master created a new recording label called QUAROCK RECORDS, while ‘QUAROCK SHOTS’ is the compilation inaugurating the new adventure. It’s an explosion of music of all styles and its main subject is the quality of the music being proposed. Gabriele Bellini in 2014 also celebrated his 30-years’ career dedicating to his audience the latest album ‘30 YEARS 1984-2014’, which retraces the most significant phases of his musical journey.
2015 is the year of great confirmation and continuous expansion: his recording label was able to bring out, just in the first year of work, more than a dozen of new and high-quality albums. Last but not least is the new platter of Gabriele Bellini, ‘ACOUSTIC SPACES’ . 10 classical-guitar inspired new songs that were written, recorded, mixed and entirely produced in one month, in the magical atmosphere of ‘La Fucina Studio’. An unusual work compared to the previous productions, the result of a real ‘carpe diem’, the complete capture of a moment of great inspiration in which the magic of the location and the studios played a leading role making possible the realization of this bizarre, fanciful and peculiar artistic musical framework. In December of the same year, they return the Pulse-R with the third official work, the first after the release by the band of bassist Mirko Serra and the entry of Vieri Pestelli. "ACROSS THE SKY", a complex work full of nuances and lots of music. A band that brings roots and background different from each other, but never incompatible and then you can listen to matches between the more experimental metal, the catchy pop melodies and a never banal taste for surprises Sheet. The Pulse-R is present with a rich disk of cues, not easy listening, but stratiform. You can stop at the first level and appreciate the melodies, or begin to fall in the sound and discover the spiral anchors and surprises that only repeated listening can bring in evidence. A job to listen to from beginning to end, in its entirety. In June 2016, with a new line up, they reformed the Hyaena of the early 1980s and entered the studio to record live songs of the 1987 historical Masterdemo, including Phenomena (the cover of the legendary Goblin song!) Inserted as a bonus track in the new album "METAMORPHOSIS REVISITED". A bizarre choice of production born naturally and spontaneously, aiming to represent in the simplest and most direct way the great and renewed desire to carry forward such a project in our times.
2017 is the year of the first recording of a new and particular project: JMP (JAM MOVIE PROJECT). Born almost in play at some live shows with a three-formation (drums, guitar and voice), improvising on the most famous themes of movies and TV series, the idea has become more and more form and interest until it comes to the conception of a album.
2018 D. C. "Definitive Collection" is the new album by maestro Gabriele Bellini. It is a very accurate collection of songs extracted only from his solo discography (9 albums), in addition to the new single "The Journey Begins", the only unreleased album that also includes 2 songs in new remix versions with exceptional guests. This tenth album sanctions both the closing of a beautiful cycle and the beginning of a new one. With over 75 minutes of music, this new release, definitely wants to go beyond what can be defined as the classic compilation, because in reality it can simply represent the solo record and at the same time the most complete journey that most likely the teacher has has always dreamed of achieving. REBELLION PARTY is the brand new instrumental “concept album” by maestro Gabriele Bellini. Conceived, created and built in the first months of 2021 and published at the beginning of the summer of the same year. In continuity with the creative conception that saw the birth of the various previous albums of his discography, from the first Trilogy (Primo Acustico Shock Elettrico - De Revolutionibus Orbium Celestium - Evolution) to Recreation and Acoustic Spaces, this latest work is the most realistic point of arrival. and musically more mature than the artist. The choice of using his vintage Fender Strat as a supporting instrument (with the exception of the acoustic parts) further stimulated both the creative aspect and the desire to get involved, to experiment and to evolve even beyond certain limits. Even the search for a certain type of sound to give to the entire album is the result of a multitude of sounds and colors, some from the past and revitalized on this occasion, in a new harmonic and melodic context, driven by the basic elements (guitar- low-battery). Everything is done with the purest and rawest naturalness, while keeping alive that dynamic, expressive and communicative essence that characterizes the entire work. Deep reflections, constant research into new forms of expression, communication, reactivity and action, the inexhaustible belief / love for beauty, now even more felt as a unique and unmissable opportunity for salvation / rebirth. A record for those who let themselves be carried away freely by their emotions. This is what inspired the maestro to create what could really represent a true “perfect soundtrack” of our times. V.O.R. "Voice Of Rebellion - Part 1" is the first chapter containing a first selection of songs from his latest solo album "Rebellion Party", for the occasion, all rearranged and sung by 7 different singers. Among these, there are 3 goodies, like a very short version of an instrumental, like a brand new version of a piece extrapolated from his first solo work "P.A.S.E." and as certainly could not be missing, even the only unpublished piece. The album was released in the first 3 months of 2022. Released in early summer of the same year, both in digital version and in a splendid special edition on vinyl, also containing the same album and the previous Rebellion Party in 2 CD formats. Bellini's goal, with this latest work, is to enhance and push the songs already made previously to every limit, with the addition of unique voices including Marta Giurintano singer of the young Lie Land, Claire Briant Nesti opera singer, Francesco Gago Lamonaca, Alessandro Marchetti, Andrea (the hyena), Lorenzo “BUG” Meoni and Giacomo “Jac” Salani singer of Interferenze and Pulse-r. As already demonstrated with "Rebellion Party", the intent is to catapult the listener into a sort of current daily soundtrack, but this time, with words that put the meaning of each song on paper. The diversity of each voice has made it possible to create an original and varied product from every point of view, widening the listener's enjoyment of the songs to 360 °. MOTUS is the newest album by Gabriele Bellini. In continuity with the creative conception that has seen the birth of the various previous albums of his own discography, from the first Trilogy (First Acoustic Electric Shock - De Revolutionibus Orbium Celestium - Evolution) to Recreation and Acoustic Spaces, to to Rebellion Party and V.O.R. Part.1, this latest work is the most realistic and musically more mature artist. Even the search for a certain kind of sound to give the entire album is the result of a
multitude of sounds and colors, some from the past and revitalized on this occasion, in a new harmonic and melodic context, propelled by the basic elements (guitar-bass-drums). Everything is performed with the purest and rawest naturalness, while keeping alive that dynamic, expressive and communicative essence that characterizes the entire work. MOTUS aims to take this concept to the next level, offering a variety sound moving from classical music to alternative metal. A very intense work with attention to every detail during its realization, sees on vocals singers from completely different realities from them, ranging from rap to metal, but united under the sole purpose of enhancing the songs on on which they sang. Deep reflections, the constant search in new forms of expression,
communication, responsiveness and action, the inexhaustible belief/love for beauty, today even more felt as a unique and unmissable opportunity for salvation/rebirth. A punch line that could best describe MOTUS is "Knowing how to listen is the perpetual motion that makes the world go round." Useful Links
