Instrumental inventions. www.musicantica.org Enzo Fina was born in Salice Salentino, Lecce, Italy. He holds a MA degree in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce. Since his beginning as a musician, one of his main fascinations has been the acoustic nature of sound. Such interest has brought him to develop an interdisciplinary approach to art embracing the relationships between music and visual arts. Fina extended his studies on the acoustic properties of sound in instrument making by synthesizing his findings in the creation of his own musical instrument. In fact, in 1983, after studying the structure of an African mbira (thumb piano), he created a personal version of that instrument calling it most simply, fina. In addition, Fina has been trained also in various arts such as dance, mime, construction and use of masks, and puppeteering. He has worked with music and theater ensembles of diverse kinds and different goals ranging from traditional music research to film scoring; from street theater to puppet shows to anthropological theater in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Holland, Morocco, Canada and the United States. He has worked as music therapist in residence at the (CHLA) Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and as music instructor in the program “Science of Sound” with the Pasadena POPS Orchestra’s education program.
