Il Giardino Ermeneutico
The third collaboration with Zeit displays a wonderful and unique combination between acoustic sounds, field recordings and airy gentle electronic sounds.The sonic result maintains the natural atmospheres of the originalacoustic recordings, done at the time of the Raag drone theory's sessions in Lunigiana, Italy at Chiostro dell’Annunziata and the Wood Sanctuary in August 2006. Here the treatments enriche the mixture with a new sensible touch that subtly transports the listener towards anen…

Otherworldliness
Suspended atmospheres, a mix of ageless sounds are the essence of "Otherwordlines".Sounds that meet along border lines, beyond wordly dimension. Every moment is incomprehensible, every space is far, it becomes horizon when it comes in contact with the eyes, every fragment of life is a sound that it gets lost into infinite. We can only listen.

Otter Songs
Otter Songs is the culmination of the process that began in 2008 by Lingua Fungi and Alio Die.

The archaic and arctic drones were later complemented with subtle recordings by Stefano Musso with zither, sitar and other acoustic instruments. The collaboration was sealed with final recordings i…
Elusive Metaphor
Listening to Elusive Metaphor feels a bit like being told a secret, or like getting a clandestine glimpse at some sort of shadowy ritual. Alio Die (aka Stefano Musso) and Parallel Worlds (aka Bakis Sirros) combine their respective approaches, melding long, deep drones with crackling, technical analog electronics in this hour-long voyage. Balance plays a vital role here. Each composer distinctly steps forward in spots, but never completely owns the moment. Sirros’ work powers “The Dispersed Expec…
Vayu Rouah
Cosmic like Three Organic Experiences, esoteric like Password for Entheogenic Experience, Vayu Rouah perform a kind of synthesis of the researches by Alio Die and Aglaia.

A very long and slow gestation of about eight years have absorbed different musical moods and have stratified itself throw the time.. sound after sound.. t…

The compositions, b…

Cosmospir
“Cosmospir” is a debut album from Polish singer/improviser and composer, India Czajkowska. Her music overturns categories through a fluid blend of classical instruments, experimental vocal technique and electronic spectrum arrangements. The dark alchemic laboratory in a deserted factory, the walls of which are breathing still with industrial noise. The space is sinking into strange sacral whispers and through the broken panes birds are flying in. The roar of the wind and the dripping of raindrop…
Intangible Opacity
Intangible Opacity dares to visit the place where the Earth’s
atmosphere ends and the infinity of space begins, following the physical
and chemical processes that occur in the ionosphere. The sound is based
on warm but at the same time somehow distanced synthetic textures, and
classical “el-music”.

expand their vocabulary and to enriches its palette of sounds and
colors. The immersive power of this work has reached the …

Sounds can be heard of the wind and rain, voices,songs and steps of nomads of Impermanence. An album that displays …
End of an Era
A project started slowly from reciprocal esteem from musical researches and alchemical and introspective approach to sounds. Quite a dark atmospheric album, where the obscurities give the proper preparation to some clear and intense moments.
Sospensione d'estate
CUBE's music is designed to blur the architectural spaces that we occupy during our waking hours of the day. Whether it be an office cubical, a personal listening space or subtly defined spaces within an architectural environment. CUBE's music is music at the edge of perception, music meant to expand interior space. One long relaxing and meditative track, enriched by multilayered textures from little sounds (rattles, tubes, flutes, etc) played in the wilderness, and field recordings supported by…
