Fabio Golfetti (born, 10 April 1960 in São Paulo, Brazil). In 1979 he formed his first jazz-rock-progressive group called LUX, that played in the local college circuit. A few years later, in 1983 started the band Zero, and in 1985 he formed his main band, the psychedelic rock trio Violeta de Outono which toured extensively in Brazil in the 80’s. His influences include names as Syd Barrett, Terje Rypdal, Steve Hillage and Manuel Göttsching. Fabio’s style of playing also includes Glissando Guitar, a technique invented by the Australian poet-musician Daevid Allen (former Soft Machine/Gong leader). In 2006 he was invited to play at the Gong Unconvention at Melkweg, Amsterdam. A year later, Fabio joined Daevid Allen’s Gong Global Family for a series of concerts in Brazil and in 2012, Fabio joined the legendary psychedelic rock band Gong for the UK/Europe/Japan tour, along with their original founders Daevid Allen & Gilli Smyth. Gong was recruited in 2019 by their original guitarist Steve Hillage to perform a series of concerts in the UK and Europe under the name Steve Hillage Band. Today, Fabio is an active member of Gong, continues with Violeta de Outono, and also is releasing the album Lux Æterna : Dream, an electronic ambient project with his son Gabriel of the progressive band Stratus Luna, and The Frame Of Life with his old fellow Renato Mello. He is now in the writing process of his new solo album, which is well on its way.
