doctsect I have almost every album Stefano Musso has released over his long wonderful career, this by far is one of his best collaborative works. Soft & mystical, gentle & powerful. Holds aspects of his early work in sentiment, yet carries an open maturity that nearly is touching on grace. This: Slow, delicate, rich, twinkling, ... An album for sunrise; An atmosphere for dusk.. An otherly world you never want to leave. Master-work. Favorite track: Entering the Intimate Fragrance of Beatitude.

Edward J Roller There is so much happening musically with the instrumentation, yet the mix never feels too dense or crowded. A fantastic release you just know took a long time to produce. The results are timeless and beautiful. Thank you for an outstanding collaboration.

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.
