Transcendental geometries

by ALIO DIE

supported by

Gratefulshrink Just like with so much of his music, there is a timeless element -- it can seem like early medieval music, yet also the sort of drones that could be playing in the future during deep space exploration.

Brian Bourassa Stefano Musso, A.K.A. ALIO DIE, is the unmatched master of ambient drone music. He so elegantly and seamlessly desolves a multitude of sounds into a what, on this recording, is a numbing journey into a mezmerizing dream state.

...and he does this time and time again!

The Itzamna Collective Another perfect transcendental flight beyond the map's edges and out into layers upon layers of consciousness

Contemplative Fly almost touches on a more classic emotional song structure, it's a fascinating departure, no less beautiful in it's construction than every other piece of this gorgeous musical puzzle box.

Pure love for the ending, dreaming through the final moments of Enchanted Signs, subtle yet so intensely moving. <3 Favorite track: Enchanted signs.

The Vast Wilds No-one captures this dream state like Alio Die. Upon listening to the first track I was immediately wrapped in a balm of otherworldly calm, strange and beautiful sights arising from nothing, arabesques of entrancing sound filling my senses, enfolding me in divine colour. Favorite track: Incantatory landscapes.

about

In 2023, the assiduous tuning, recording and mixing work gave me the opportunity to complete several albums that will soon see the light.
Transcendental geometries is chronologically the first of these sound chapters.

'Floating in quadrature with the beetle dream at the dawn of the goddess Inspiration I fell asleep in her nest and never awoke again.
A geometric alphabet of waves irrigates the edges of feelings, to the point that the beginning never coincides with the expected end. The variation overlaps and enriches the flow, cradling it, slows it down and opens up to the cosmic emptiness of the mind, to the shining of consciousness. Ambient suspensions, enchanting landscapes and contemplative flights, create an intimate dance in a solution of revelatory, confident continuity.
Adherence and proportion traced the structure, then in a breath the frictionless geometry propagates in harmony.'

Many thanks to Jean Patier and Marika Oliva for their contribution to completing the songs.

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
