Alio Die's shimmering, zyther driven "Imaginal Symmetry", 2016, travels flawlessly and creatively through the brighter environments he sometimes or rarely constructs. This turn of events is enhanced alongside fellow old time collaborators Lingua Fungi and Aglaia, taking an otherwise unusual turn themselves, into this adventure. (Parallel to this project Alio Die also releases "An Unfathomable Convergence", featuring the same ensemble, (which still waits patiently in my recently acquired collection).
So to describe it in sonic/imagery let me say his last 2 (solo) works "Standing in a place" & "Seamlessly bliss" resembled respectively the forest and its shadows. This "Imaginal Symmetry" resembles the skies' colors transitions, its clouds and its cosmic connection.
