Chela Re is the outcome of the experimentation of five artists belonging to different cultural backgrounds merging their own traditional lyrics and tales into one articulated melody. Their main issue was bringing together rhythms and styles which apparently couldn't match into a new way of expressing emotion through sounds. Ethnic percussions, double bass, voices, keyboards and computers for the first Fabrica Musica attempt to go beyond musical genres.
Nayak was born (b. 1988) into the folk cultural and musical tradition of the Ghasi tribe of Jharkhand, India. He is highly trained in the traditional drumming, singing and dance forms of this region. In addition to vocals, he plays all the drums of this musical tradition, including the nagara, the mandar and the dholak.
Nayak's work as a Contemporary composer is innovative yet grounded in his tradition. Nayak has collaborated with musicians, dancers, theater and film and video artists from India, the United States, Japan, Ghana, Italy, Germany, Austria, and Great Britain.
He has composed and performed music in collaboration with contemporary composer Michael Galasso for the Monte Carlo Ballet in a work choreographed by Carole Armitage, and for The Lady from the Sea, directed by the internationally acclaimed theater director Robert Wilson. Nayak also composed music for numerous media projects of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, including a video and music project which was presented in 220 countries around the world. His music is featured in the travelling Giorgio Armani exhibit that opened in October 2000 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.
Nayak is a recipient of one of seven 2002 Creative Artist Fellowships from the US-Japan Friendship Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts and one of two 2003 Senior Performing Artist Fellowships from the American Institute of Indian Studies. |

Collection: Alternative Rock Survival machines is a musical piece built on the idea of reflection between DNA sequence and society, and its likeness with mechanical system or computers. The eight segments tell a story of the atomsforming new patterns - the beginning of life, the failure in the systematic coordination, the resulting tension and finally a collapse giving a way to a new form of existence. The music is mainly based on different vocal sounds and effects.

Chez Fabrica is the music compilation realised for the 2009 Milan International Furniture Show. In the language of musical notes, the album narrates the ordinary and bizarre experiences of the young resident artists in Fabrica.
Continuing on the path of musical experimentation started with previous CDs, the young sound maker signing the project, Francesco Novara, has created a compilation inspired by the daily goings on of young Fabricanti from the world over. For one year these creative talents dip into a unique environment made of different nationalities, languages, traditions and cultures, juxtaposed to the reality of the historic town where they live, Treviso (located near Venice, Italy).
Morning breakfasts with flatmates, commitments to be respected, floating boundaries between spare time and work, evenings spent together, enthusiasm for the intense Fabrica experience mixed with a bit of homesickness: all this is reflected in the Chez Fabrica’s five tracks. The album combines the modernity of electronic sounds with the suggestions of retro and ethnic inspirations, like the ones evocated by the timeless fascination of traditional instruments like the ukulele.
Chez Fabrica was presented in Milan, during the Milan International Furniture Show at which Fabrica was present with four Fuorisalone events and an exhibition at the Salone Satellite. The CD’s tracks accompanied, like a discreet soundscape, the visiting guests during their discovery of Fabrica’s world. |

Mohsen Namjoo is the leader of Persian rock, called “Iran’s Bob Dylan” by the New York Times. On this CD, Namjoo treads the dangerous thin line on the fragile high wire of an ancient culture and demonstrates the mad courage to carve new paths using the spiritual and artistic tools of his predecessors. Namjoo gives the traditional Persian style a more modern rendition that attracts younger generations while simultaneously blending his music with western traditions of rock and blues. |
