This is a collaboration project with Alio Die, Runes Order and Raffaele Serra. Low drones beneath evocative motivic figures, with wisps of mystical synth sweeps that seem to come out of the deeper parts of the universe, bone-chilling natural sounds and summoning primitive drums, beckon us to follow on a long transcendental journey.

Raffaele Serra: Digital and analogue synthesizer, harmonium, sampler, tapes and electronics.

Alio Die: Samplers, treatments & mix.

Runes Order: Electronics, analogue synthesizer.

The fourth chapter of the series is finally released! Melchiazek offers us ‘music for imaginary movies’ that Raffaele Serra has devoted much of his compositions… here in the more obscure and dramatic vein, magnetic and mysterious. Alio Die adds field recordings, loops, effects and edited the whole work. An incredible machine of sounds, a great album for visions lovers and for fans of electronic music e dark ambient. The cd comes in an elegant 3-sided digipak with wonderful artwork printed brown and bronze.

After seven years of silence they are heard again. Raffaele Serra and Alio Die's Quantum Consciousness is an mysterious electronic journey (5 tracks without interruption) that, though still ambient music, comes close to '70s-era electronic cosmic music. An unbroken journey of great intensity characterized with an electronic refined touch and a flood- like vitality, always at the threshold of mystery's whirlpool.
Powerful electronic mantras that in these lands have already given some kind of earthly utterance. Great artwork in gold print on dark green.
