FINISTERRE's bass player Fabio Zuffanti released 5 albums of his own compositions under the name of "HOSTSONATEN". Symphonic band with the participation of FINISTERRE members. The music is pretty much on that band's style, a little less classic prog driven. Good flute passages feature on their symphonic music as well

After founding Finisterre, contributing as a major composer to the their best works, writing and recording the complex and very welcomed "Merlin - The Rock Opera", Fabio Zuffanti gives new life to the Hostsonaten project. This band is an 'open' group named after a very famous movie by Ingmar Bergman. Even if the most of the musicians he got around for the three CDs recorded under this cinema related name are the same, everything apart from Fabio can change. Hostsonaten represents Fabio's deepest love for progressive rock, jazz, folk and ethnic music. In these last years Hostsonaten is working on the 'Seasoncycle Suite' project, an ambitious concept in four parts and four cds dedicated to the four seasons. For now the third and fourth chapters ('Winterthrough' and 'Springsong') are available. The second chapter ('Autumnsymphony') is out in September 21, 2009.

'Suite Bretonne' was composed and recorded in late 1998 as a piece in three parts for acoustic, classical and 12 strings guitars. After a few months the piece evolved to "Springsong", containing more instrumental parts and musical lines.
The suite was originally conceived as a musical painting inspired by the beautiful country of Brittany (France).
The 'Seasonscycle suite' project started out from these early recordings.
