Kabinet Mirage Band, Ibon Goitia - Fabulario (2023)

Fabulario is a compilation of musical stories that celebrates the power of imagination, creativity and our world’s cultural diversity. It was recorded in Berlin in 2023 by Kabinet Mirage Band, supported by Initiative Musik gGmbH with project funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media.

The band represents the musical dimension of the multidisciplinary theater company Kabinet Mirage, founded in 2017 by Cielo Faccio and Ibon Goitia, and specialises in making music that enhances theater and circus performances, as well as film scores, playing a wide palette of genres. Diverse influences merge into a musical narrative that appeals to both the soul and the senses, unveiling sounds of oriental mysticism and blooming passion, of charming modernism and nostalgic naivety, of enchanting creatures and faraway lands.

In this album, Ibon Goitia presents the fruits of his extensive and ongoing research into the theatricality of music. He explores how music is intricately connected to our imagination, capable of igniting the subconscious, and turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. Ultimately, music has the power to craft immersive atmospheres and breathe life into every moment.
