Renato Rizzo studied classical and jazz guitar in Switzerland, took courses with Allan Holdsworth, Jeff Richman, and Wayne Brazel, and played solo and in various groups. His solo CD "Il tempo va" (time passes) contains nine of his own compositions for solo acoustic guitar - some quiet and impressionist, some featuring fast, rhythmic, and virtuoso playing. In his solo concerts, Renato uses a LoopDelay to create backing tracks.
Salina is one of the Liparic Islands in Southern Italy. A couple of years ago, I spent my vacation on Salina. I wrote the piece during this time, deeply impressed by the beauty and atmosphere of the island. The percussive elements in the music represent sea and surf, the different parts of the improvisation represent variations of the landscape.
