Opera Magnetica nullifies space and time, the first song states it. Even the boundaries that by sensitivity differentiate Alio Die from Aglaia are less defined, they lose naturally.
One second before Dark is one of the most inspired songs born of their collaboration. Unmissable. Magnetic work is a synthesis of their best intuitions, chiseled songs from acoustic finishes, underground sounds that emerge only when they can conjure up visions. Nothing is more perfect than Wake of a Silver Water: the transformation that reveals everything without ever showing..

This has been in the works for almost 1.5 years. Is there finer ambience coming from Italy outside of these two acts? And a collaboration to boot. Nice. 900 copies in the Japanese style mini-lp matte gatefold sleeve. Beautiful layout courtesy of theever-impressive designwork of Pyhai. Slow waves of soundflow suggestive of psycho-acoustic energy come with peripheral fragments of sonorities, carried on the wind, drifting as if at the edges of sleep, recalling the way echo plays in open landscapes. Private History of the Clouds feels a little like watching dust particles in a room illuminated by light rays - variously filtered by alterations in shutter angles - now suspended almost immobile, now gently agitated by soft breeze.

Cosmic like Three Organic Experiences, esoteric like Password for Entheogenic Experience, Vayu Rouah perform a kind of synthesis of the researches by Alio Die and Aglaia.
Vayu Rouah is the primordial wind that join cabala and sonorous alchemies, an inexorable flux with extended electro-acoustic solutions,  by a wide range of frequencies.
A very long and slow gestation of about eight years have absorbed different musical moods and have stratified itself throw the time.. sound after sound.. towards his extreme possibilities. The listeners that  loved the first chapters, that inspired this work, will find themself in perfect armony into  Vayu Rouah's spirals.

According to Hindu mythology, the Apsaras are female spirits of nature, usually water nymphs, that represent the place where mind, water, and desire converge. It's an apt metaphor for the languid, sensual music on this disc. With Alio Die (Stefano Musso) on "drones and samples, environmental sounds and treatments" and Amelia Cuni voicing "dhrupad singing (traditional music from North India)," the slow-moving, dreamy sounds feel underwater and far away. This ambience is maintained throughout the disc, relieved only slightly by Cuni's more percussive vocals on "Churning of the Ocean". The ethereal quality of the music is mirrored by the artful packaging and exquisite sound reproduction, both typical of Projekt Records, which has been producing high-quality gothic, ambient, and darkwave music for almost 20 years. In many ways similar to Jeff Grienke and Anisa Romero's Hana, this music reveals the affinity between centuries-old Indian singing and modern electronica.

Rêverie is the third collaboration between Antonio Testa and Stefano Musso after ten years from their last cd together "Prayer for the Forest",    with this new potion the duo explore different slow-motion athmospheres, playing a wide range of acoustic instruments,and distilling healing sounds,that naturally relate with music-therapy.
An album for the soul and the love of being in its entirety. Airy and suspended, "Rêverie" is inductive music for light-hearted moods . Over any siege of thought.
The cd comes in a refined 6 panel digipack.

The chapters of the eclipse is the new musical union of Italy's Alio Die (Stefano Musso) and Belgium's Dirk Serries (vidnaObmana) which, more than twenty years after their previous collaboration contains three compositions in a suspended airy, majestic succession. The meditative and minimalist electronic ambient sky is suspended at the interval for liberation from the shadows of becoming: life in its most essential orientation.

It is a very deep and conceptual work, full of esoteric mysteriousness, philosophicsense and acoustic aesthetics. Excellent mastering! New sounding is harmoniously combined with classical passages from Alio Die. Beautiful improvisations with piano and zither mixed with a lot of different sounds and soundscapes. It is not simplymusic, it is like a film, but it is more than a film, much more! It is a flight of fantasy, an unrestrained flight! Most of all it is similar to lucid dream: Visionary landscapes of different cities are changed by pictures from own memory. Events are transforming from one to another but not breaking a mysterious logic of dream.
This immersing inside of itself, wonderful travel to depths of the entity.
And all this gives you a great pleasure and delightful rest to your mind!

A very immersive drones soundscapes in this collaboration album with Maninkari side-project, a persian duo from Paris.
The sound, with a meditative feeling, and indian & medieval arabesques, make this  release very particular and suitable with the Castle Sonorisations series, enhancing the environment by acoustic improvisations and fine intonations.

This is one long relaxing and meditative track, enriched by multilayered textures from little sounds (rattles, tubes, flutes, etc) played in the wilderness, and field recordings supported by the sophisticated and gentle sounds of electronics and treated viola.
