Alex Anthony Faide - Particles of the Infinite
“Alex Anthony Faide plays my guitar parts better than I do”
- Robert Fripp (King Crimson)
Inspired by and developed from concepts found in songs such as King Crimson’s “Fracture” and “Lark’s Tongues in Aspic,” Faide takes the work beyond the stratosphere into the mirror dimension to find something completely his own.
Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Guitarist/Composer Alex Anthony Faide has a decades-long international reputation for being the secret weapon in rock recordings, arrangements, and stage productions in Europe and Latin America.
Now based in Seattle, WA, Faide releases his long-awaited solo record – Particles of the Infinite – a display of guitar pyrotechnics in nine parts. Features special guest drummers Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson), Matt Chamberlain (David Bowie) and Alessandro Inolti (Echotest).
