Fonderia started in Rome (Italy) in 1994. Some musicians meeting in a basement to free themselves in sessions of free improvisation, with no schedules nor prejudices. So, choosing the name Fonderia (“foundry”) was instinctive. Then a few years of break, and since 2000 it started again, with the production of three records, some changes and many concerts.
Meanwhile, the band evolved through several musical and professional experiences. It moved from improvising to compositions, and starting from its many influences, such as rock, funk, psichedelia, jazz and electro, Fonderia built up its personal and contemporary sound, yet faithful to the free attitude of the beginning.
