Since the late '80s, Stefano Musso has recorded deep, evocative experimental ambient and electro-acoustic soundscapes under the name Alio Die. Combining sweeping electronics with found sound and acoustical treatments, he has assembled a rich and varied collection of recordings for such labels as Projekt, Timebase, Heart of Space / Fathom, and his own Hic Sunt Leones label. Based in Milan, Musso studied art and electronic there, founding Alio Die in 1989 self-releasing a debut, Under an Holy Ritual, in 1992. Enthusiastically received in his home country, Holy Ritual expanded Musso's international presence significantly in 1993 when it was licensed by the popular U.S. darkwave label Projekt. His music is a shadowy, cavernous, intensely detailed fusion of acoustical elements, step-and-repeat sample treatments, sparse, echoing percussion, and deep, atmospheric sound design, playing ambient's static tendencies off of shifting melodic and textural passages that suggest movement without sacrificing the music's vague, entropic formlessness. ~ by Sean Cooper, AMG

"Music, by its very nature, is the language which is most difficult to imprison into concretes. That's why it is the most abstract and most mysterious one. I understand that it can sometimes be very difficult for a journalist to describe sounds and the moods they evoke -- words like meditative/introspective music, psycho-acoustic, mystic dark ambient, spooky, are often used in reviews of the music I do." ~ Stefano

This CD contains unreleased material recorded by Alio Die in the year 2001, mostly around the time of the winter solstice. The tracks come from the editing of old recordings produced in Milan in 1990, with Massimo Iadarola played guitar and effects.
The recordings were integrated with radionoise from an old Valvular Model.
Some new sounds of flutes and percussions were added from Gianfranco Cualbu.
The recordings were completed with a new track displayed zither, muezzin voices from the shirt wave space and field recordings made by Alio Die in Notre Dame, Paris Sept 2002.
The sound atmosphere of this release is close in some way of the really first CDs by Alio Die, with a light electronic taste, in the feeling of the dark that passes before a new dawn.

Теперь уже и Alio Die. Скоро дойдешь до Mario Schonwalder, и желательно побыстрее...

ух, тяжела музыка, не без experimental или какого-то подобного "утяжеляющего" стиля, аля саундтрек к триллеру, мистике, детективу или драме.
