My name is Emilio Bonito, Mio for short. I play fingerstyle guitar and guitar/keys in Cosmic Horror Story.

"Emilio Bonito crafts intricate instrumental songs that fuse acoustic fingerstyle guitar with avant-garde, indie folk and pop culture influences."

Label: Maisonneuve Music



These are some of the songs of which I'm proudest. I guess I write pretty emotional stuff, really, and often songs come to me fully formed in a dream or in a single moment. It's weird being an artist, but it's also very rewarding when you create things you actually enjoy. 

I believe in opening up my artistic process to scrutiny. The way songs and pieces are arrived at is as interesting as the art itself, and I find the super-produced slickness of studio recordings sometimes overwhelming and dehumanizing. Some of my favourite artists change lyrics during shows and re-arrange how they play songs all the time, and I treat the recording process somewhat the same, turning it into a *record* of what a song was like at a particular moment. 

I like guitar and stuff.

I also play in a band called Last Scattering.
