A Sardinian native of Palau, now residing in Catalonia, active since 1995 and creator of a unique instrument that he has brought to stages all over the world: “it is an orchestral guitar,” he explains, “over the course of thirty years it has incorporated elements I stole from other instruments; it is a continuous work in progress.” 25 strings, a hybrid between baritone guitar, cello, and drums, equipped with hammers, pedalboards, and propellers: “the idea is to broaden the timbral potential of the instrument: I consider myself culturally a hybrid and this guitar reflects my vision; even Pat Metheny wanted one.” Mediterranean avant-garde music is how one can define the meticulous research work carried out over 30 years by Paolo Angeli, who has been able to carve out a path of “innovation with roots” that has led him all the way to the stage of Carnegie Hall in New York. Up to his most recent recording: *Lema*, released in 2025, which recounts a living, layered, wounded folklore made of interweaving textures and contrasts. Even the choice of texts—verses from the Sardinian folk tradition but also Palestinian poetry translated into Gallurese—connects to the search for a dimension that is both intimate and permeable, for one of the most beautiful sonic adventures of our times.
