It is the end of a day like many when FaBIO, going home after work, sees a young hitchhiker, Abraham. Following a mysterious impulse, he decides to give him a ride. The kid's sweet and clean face prompts him to start a conversation about the CD's the kid has with him, even if that's not his kind of music. Abraham, though, reveals that his uncle - Mac - shares FaBIO's insane passion for "classic" electronic music and for all those musicians most people don't even know exist; FaBIO decides he wants to meet this "extraterrestrial".
Following his dashing and enthusiastic nature, he calls Mac that very night; during the brief talk they find out they live about five minutes by car from each other - another strange coincidence. They meet around one hour later and immediately understand that they can communicate their emotions together to anybody who is willing to listen, thru the universal language of music.
It's January 1999 when in the BIOlofT the duo begins to work on their first album, Egoheart 1999, mixing their individual experiences and taking their modest gear where no such instrument has gone before. The album is made up of five pieces and one suite, which is named after the band (and vice versa): BIOnighT. The demo is sent to several labels, but no positive result comes out of that; our heroes soon realize that their music doesn't fit into the limits labels impose for commercial reasons and start looking for different channels of distribution.
The web seems to be the perfect means to spread their musical message without restrictions and without having to make their music "commercial"(in the negative sense of the word). A promo of their first album - Egoheart 1999 - is sent to several websites on electronic music to have it reviewed. Among them there is also a German website,www.syngate.net, which publishes some very flattering comments about the CD. This would turn out to be a more important encounter than they thought at that time... In fact, after a few months, Syngate's boss decides to start his own label, and BIOnighT are among the first artists to be contacted and later released by Syngate. A new phase had begun.
In 2011, however, the duo splits, due to musical and personal differences.
Sbrizzi FaBIO of BIOnighT was born in 1956, Mac of BIOnighT in 1964. Both live in Luino (province of Varese, northern Italy). Their main influence was obviously Berlin School music, but they also mixed into it just any other genre they like.
Mac of BIOnighT is also a prolific solo artist, check out his websites http://www.macvibes.com
