DifferentLands

 Different Lands is an independent music label founded in 1999 by composer and artistic director Fabio Armani.
The label focuses on world fusion, electronic music, progressive rock, ambient and experimental soundscapes, promoting cross-cultural projects and long-form conceptual works.

Born as a platform for artistic research rather than commercial formatting, Different Lands brings together musicians from different countries, traditions and musical languages, blending acoustic instruments, electronics, jazz improvisation, world traditions and contemporary composition.

Over the years, the label has developed and produced several core projects, including:

Terre Differenti – a world fusion ensemble merging Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, jazz and electronic elements

Brave New Worlds – a progressive rock and concept-driven project exploring dystopia, technology, human fragility and AI

NEXUS SETS – a cross-genre electronic project spanning ambient, techno, experimental and cinematic sound design

Different Lands is not genre-oriented, but concept-oriented: each project is conceived as a coherent artistic ecosystem, where music, narrative, imagery and philosophy coexist.

Fabio Armani is an Italian composer and pianist, born in Rome in 1958.
He holds a degree in Astrophysics (1987) and has studied jazz piano and composition since 1974.

His musical work spans acoustic, electronic and hybrid forms, including jazz, world fusion, progressive rock, ambient and computer music. He composes both instrumental and vocal music, often structured as conceptual or narrative-driven works.

Fabio Armani is currently the artistic director of:

- Brave New Worlds (prog rock)

- NEXUS SETS (electronic music)

- Terre Differenti (world-fusion)

- Otras Tierras  (flamenco chillout)

He has previously led or co-founded projects such as Advena Avis, Tangram, Tangraminds and Eartheart.

As a performer, he plays piano, electric piano, organ, synthesizers, samplers and various percussions, and he composes and arranges most of the repertoire of the ensembles he leads, as well as music for artists across different genres—from pop to jazz and experimental music.

Alongside his artistic activity, Fabio Armani is also the founder and CEO of OpenLogos and OpenWare, a consultancy focused on Lean Agile training, coaching and organizational thinking.
