about

In the enigmatic Aqua Planing, Werner Durand and Alio Die create a sonorous,powerful, impervious space; sometimes liquid, subtly endearing. A meeting of mysterious sounds, both improvised and organised, of the traditional and self-made wind- instruments and their hybrids by Werner Durand (persian and circular water ney, circular clarinet,khen, prepared shakuhachi) with the editing, loops and enviromental recordings by Alio Die. As in the title track, where they recorded the sound of the wind blowing on the edge of a PVCtube sticking out of thecar window, while driving on an italian highway and mixed it with the sound of the ocean, filtered acoustically by the very same PVC tube, or the noise of a night train, the church bells in a mountain village, the musicians cause you to loose tracks of home and move towards purely surreal places.Their performance is always rigorous, the accurate tunings accuracy and special timbres of Werner Durand`s playing settled in the peculiar atmospheres created by Alio Die evoke unique interwoven listening spaces, rich with hues and shades,continuously evolving.

about

ALIO DIE Italy

Since the late 80s, Stefano Musso has recorded deep, evocative experimental ambient & electro-acoustic soundscapes under the name Alio Die.
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, textural passages..by the music's vague, entropic formlessness. ... more

Scenes from a Ghost Train
by Forrest Fang

supported by 5 fans who also own “Aqua Planing”

Este fue un gran descubrimiento para mi. Realmente su musica es un viaje a otra realidad, lleno de expresiones surrealistas y paisajes sonoros incluso a veces fantasmagoricos. No sabia nada de este musico hasta 2018, por lo cual es aun mas excitante saber que debo continuar descubriendo sus otros trabajos. Todos mis respetos. Claudio Caro
