    Hi Zelia! Thanks for your music!
    My album ‘Empathy’ is now available in  the best digital stores!
    Itunes
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/empathy/id519746474
    Cdbaby
    http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/fabiosantilli1
    Amazon MP3
    http://www.amazon.com/Empathy/dp/B007UTBP58/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335186584&sr=301-1
    and many other digital stores! Check it out!
    ‘When the soul of the piano and the acoustic music is colored, alternated and mixed with the electronic world of the synth. An intense and expessive style.’
    ‘Empathy, like art, is essential in life. It is as indefinable as concrete. This album was created from the desire to tell it, share it, evoke it in music.
    'Empathy' is an album almost entirely instrumental, played with particular attention to the sounds and dynamics. It, such as empathy, contains different moods. The tracks pass through different cultures and musical expressions, in an electroacoustic music ensembe, stylistically harmonious’
    Have a great day!
