Hi everybody! Let me introduce myself: my name is Martin Pines and I was born in 1983. I got in touch with music since I was a little child, when I had fun playing with steel saucepans that I found into the dresser or using a tennis racket pretending to be a great guitarist (I defy you to say you’ve never done it!). When I was 10 I became infatuated with disco music and thank to it I mugged up a bit of computer recording (I’ve even composed disco symphonies!). I started playing the guitar at 16 like an autodidact by listening to Dire Straits, Pinetree Daniel and Joe Satriani…A few years later I have enrolled at the Academy of Music of Aosta, where I’ve sweated blood to achieve the licence in theory and solfeggio and the fifth year diploma of classic guitar. At the same time I’ve started a course of study based on jazz, tacking part in lessons of music for ensemble and improvisation under the guidance of the double bass player Stephen Solani and the guitarist Gabriel Iron. Shortly afterwards I’ve joined in the Umbria Jazz Festival 2006, where I was really pleased to attend lessons and seminars run by teachers of the Berklee Academy…During all this time, however, the good old Rock has always been at my elbow and it keeps on being - let me say - a nice fellow. Nowadays I’m attending the courses at the Academy of Music “Vivaldi†of Alessandria, where I’m studying an endless number of subjects including jazz guitar with Pine Russian; moreover I’m teaching playing the guitar to children at the “ATELIER DI MUSICA†of Biella and I’m prevalently playing the guitar in the Biellese area, collaborating to projects here and there…I consecrate My Space to know people (musicians or poor mortals…:-)) but above all to promote my music, that I will put on line as soon as possible.
