Reverberant skies (2009)
Reverberant Skies follow eleven steps to the cosmic horizon. A meditative sound-flux, to connect with the interior skies, or to the sky we can see from the earth, in a brilliant night full of stars. Another "oceanic" album quite different from the previously four ones, and more close with “Private History of clouds” with Alio Die. CD HSL 053

"Dour, even regretful, rememberance, as in a consciousness recollecting a past as its present comes to an end, is the primary theme suggested by the Dylan Thomas poem quoted in the insert leaf of Aglaia´s Reverberant Skies. The duo are consummate conjurers of pathetic fallacy, capturing and portraying moods as if they were natural phenomena, and the skies they hang, hang low and hang dark.
Comes at you in a mist, as if sprayed from an atomizer”.
