LORENZO ESPOSITO FORNASARI

Lorenzo Esposito Fornasari biography
Italian multi-instrumentalist Lorenzo Esposito FORNASARI (LEF) is known from several projects straddling progressive rock and music outside of the progressive spectrum, including BERSERK!, O.R.k. and OBAKE. This though, the HyperSomniac project, is his debut as leader.

His space rock opera debut album, inspired by concept albums like "Tommy" and "The Wall", serves as a companion soundtrack to an online interactive graphic novel based on a dystopian tale written by LEF himself, featuring drawings by Nana Octopus Dalla Porta, animated and ported to the web by LEF and Italian software engineer Pier Luigi Rocca.

For this project LEF invited several prominent musicians he had collaborated with in the past; American bassist Bill LASWELL (LAST EXIT, NEW YORK GONG et al), British saxophonist Rebecca SNEDDON (FREE NELSON MANDOOMJAZZ), as well as a score of Norwegian virtuosos; guitarist Eivind AARSET, jazz trumpeter Nils Petter MOLVÆR, drummer Kenneth KAPSTAD (MOTORPSYCHO, GRAND GENERAL, MØSTER!), and organist Ståle STORLØKKEN (SUPERSILENT, ELEPHANT9, BOX, MØSTER!, REFLECTIONS IN COSMO). LEF himself handled the vocals.

Recommended to fans of crossover era PINK FLOYD (from "Dark Side of the Moon" onwards), MOTORPSYCHO, PORCUPINE TREE, David BOWIE and David SYLVIAN.
