Luki13 Ambient sound Iˇve been looking for ages, and that only Alio Die can create. So unique. Time-travel machine that takes you to places and times you´ve never been before, yet it feels so familiar. Like a long lost memories, like a deja-vu. Truly, this is a jewel. Grazie, Stefano.

Anu Kirk Alio Die delivers another "medieval ambient" album. Unique, beautiful, strange. Recommended for fans of "Horas Tibi Serenas" and unusual ambient. Favorite track: Sine Tempore - Part II.

UntitledKirk My heart aches when I listen to this. It makes me long for spiritual wholeness; a journey through all of time and space, understanding everything that ever was or can be, discovering all the answers along the way, and being okay with what I find. Incredible ambiance. Favorite track: Aura Seminalis - Part I.

released February 6, 2015

This latest release in a recent outpouring of creativity from Italy ’s master of organic drones is possibly the most unique in this artist’s long career as a sound sculptor. While most of his recent releases on his own Hic Sunt Leones label have been collaborations, this is his first solo effort since the release of the 10 inch vinyl Aurea Hora. As the elaborate Renaissance style artwork on the cover suggests, this music points in the direction of a more “classical”sound in so far as the utilization of Gregorian style chants. These are successfully incorporated into Musso’s customary drones comprised of field recordings, acoustic instruments, and electronic processing, giving this disc a particularly reverent ambience. Don’t think Enigma or Delerium, because as one listens to this they may be inclined to bow their head and meditate or pray rather than nod or chill. I imagine that if today’s sound recording abilities were available during those times evoked by the artwork or chants, they too would have then added the organic elements that Alio Die does, creating a balance of both the heavenly and the earthbound. Fans of his music may or may not find this approach a departure from what they are accustomed to, but it is certain that this artist is going beyond his previous huge body of work to encompass a broader sonic palette.

The music spawns between two long suites, "Sine Tempore" and "Aura Seminalis", evocative soundscapes which, in comparison to Stefano's huge previous discography, reveal a rather new approach: the sound is, indeed, still cosmic and ethereal, yet already in the second track some inserts of Gregorian-like chants appear on the sceen, boosting the general aura of holiness and trascendence. The spirit of the German cosmic couriers still flows among Alio Die's drones, recalling memories of Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra, but without any nostalgic or retro feeling, just showing how to blend the musical and cultural past into new forms of great charm. It's almost a close encounter of kosmische musik and Renaissance scores.

"Aura Seminalis" is very recommended as soundtrack for meditation, solitude, reading, and, in general, every activity shunning this society of chaos and noise.

- Simone V./ www.filthforge.altervista.org

Auf AURA SEMINALIS verwendet ALIO DIE vokales und chorales Material, welches elektronisch verfremdet oder mit elektronischen Effekten angereichert wird. Dabei entstehen zwei lange Stücke von unglaublicher Emotionalität und Tiefe, frei fliessend & sanft wirbelnd um imaginäre Zentren....Die sakralen Choräle verschmelzen auf eine einmalige Art und Weise mit akustisch-elektronischen Sound,
vielleicht das beste ALIO DIE -Album bisher, auf jeden Fall aufregend anders als vorherige Arbeiten !

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
