Dario Chillemi is a musician from Catania, Sicily. He started playing the guitar at the age of 12. In the beginning he broke many strings, probably because he was angry about the repression in society, that had been oppressing him since he was a child.
So he sung or better shouted all day long and everywhere, especially in the streets of Catania, sometime he still does that, but he surely is in a better mood.

After a couple of years playing, he started searching for a band. Looking through a newspaper he found an announcement: “we are looking for an aggressive singer”. Perfect for him! He joined the group and for some years he sung and composed new songs for the hard rock band , C.U.E.S.A.R…
In the meantime he took lessons from Roberto Calì. He learned to play the jazz-guitar and music theory, for example harmony, always listening to his sister Serena playing the classic piano.
Summer of ‘99, he met Ralph Towner, who gave him private lessons, changing his way of playing.
He started to use his fingers better, imitating piano or harp playing.
Then another experience changed him, Oltrecifra, four young guys making something in between Postrock and Jazz (You can find a description of this group on My Space)
He started to devote his energy to composing and free improvisation.
