Italian-born producer Dino Sabatini is the artist whose strong body of work has helped to develop his local
scene, and redefine what it means to work with electronic music in the 21st century: though his sounds
are completely modern, synthesized and rendered with crystal clear production, he continues to tend the
deep roots of lost wisdom and mythology that have sustained human creativity for millenia. The name of
his personal label ”Outis Music”, is taken from none other than Homer’s Odyssey (OYTIΣ, literally meaning
“no one, ” was the pseudonym that Odysseus used to succeed in his infamous deception of the Cyclops Polyphemus).
On April 2016, he is going to release his new album, “Omonimo”, as one of the Opera series from the label.

Questions

1.What is the biggest inspiration for your music?
The inspiration comes from the moment, sometimes from moments of passion or some memories of the past,
but sometimes tense moments also appear, reflecting my uncertainties or fears. These are also part of our lives,
my main inspiration is the life that surrounds me and I try to interpret all this in my music.

2. How and when did you get into making music?
I actually started it when I was very young. I studied music and guitar for many years and this has often given me
the opportunity to find myself in recording studios where I learned many things.
Among other things, I have seen the evolution of technology which results in the rapid changes,
and I got closer to electronic music around the mid 90s.

10.How important is technology to your creative process?
Technology plays a huge part in our work and of course it’s the most important part which I am very passionate about.
When I have free time I love to build synthesizers or sequencers, exploiting everything of open source in the infinite world.
I take an inspiration from what has been done already and I modify it according to my needs.
Many people are doing same things, which have been creating a global development mechanism in music technology –
I think that is amazing.
