Brian Bieniowski Absolute magic. A slow stroll down the ancient paths of Numenor or the mysterious passages of Rivendell.

Caesar What emerges while listening is the meditative quality of this music, its healing nature and its placing itself on a metaphysical plane of reality. But these, on the other hand, are the characteristics that have distinguished him over time with such wonderful albums as the ritual Under An Holy Ritual (1992), the hypnotic Password For Entheogenic Experience (1998) and the spiritual Deconsacreted And Pure (2012).

Brian Bourassa With eclectic acoustical meanderings and an always necessary drone component, this album is one of ALIO DIE's best in recent times. Both relaxing and comforting, complex and simple, accompanied by a hint of mystery, this is a must listen.

about

In 'Distillation of time' Alio Die condenses in five tracks, acoustic suggestions and electronic visions that expand the heart of the sound, its contemplative quality, opening a dimension of natural metamorphosis, of transfiguration.

The acoustic parts proceed particularly slow and bright, alternate and chase each other in places often practiced for meditation and recollection, to lead the listening where sound and light become one .. revealing that sensitive attention that is the crucible and the very essence of sound.

The harmony turns out to be fluid between the arpeggios of the zither that are peculiarly tuned to each other and never stops so as to magically resonate in a solution of continuity, opening up the temporal perspective and leading us into the subtlest realms of listening.

Peace emerges and leads, the endless blossoming of love remains the silent background of inspiration, from which every sound appears and refracts.
From this wonderful view the yeast of the soul infuses new life, the ecstasy of being not separated is like a balm to human conflicts, when time is not measured it does not exist, and the contemplated space can expand.

The cover is taken from an image found on the bottom of the distiller after a summer dedicated to essential oils.

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.
