A Tapestry for sourcerers (1995)
"This
is a collaboration project with Alio Die, Runes Order and Raffaele Serra. Low
drones beneath evocative motivic figures, with wisps of mystical synth sweeps
that seem to come out of the deeper parts of the universe, bone-chilling natural
sounds and summoning primitive drums, beckon us to follow on a long
transcendental journey. From this point onwards, we find ourselves continually
drawn into the spacious atmosphere of the music. As we float over the vast
cosmic seas, unearthly sonorous monuments rise above us, piercing the dark
celestial blanket, forcing an opening for the spiritual light to shine through.
All is shed in a bright, while light now. All is peaceful and quiet.We have
entered the world of inexistence.

Tap
into the hidden realms of existence populated by spirit forms and beings that
lie far beyond human comprehension.
Five Thousand Spirits links the magic of Alio Die, Runes Order, and Raffaele
Serra. All three artists are at their best here, creating sonic waves of energy
that soothe and challenge the listener. Reminiscent of ancient rituals one may
read of. prepare to descend into the darkness of mother earth.

Derriere le nom Five Thousand Spirits
officient Alio Die, Runes Order and Raffaele Serra. Cette musique ne depaysera
donc pas les amateurs du label Hic Sunt Leones et du sous label Sempiterna
Mutatio. Par rapport aux productions de Alio Die, on notera ici une propension
a' explorer des voies plus mystiques et rituelles. "Enter, so far from this
sky", long titre au developpement lent evoque un rituel imaginaire. Runes
Order apporte par touches parcimonieuses ses nappes de synthes et notes
cristallines. "Hatt-lunis" est a' ce titre un joyau de lumiere diaphane,
propice a' de douces derives mentales hypnagogiques. "Onyx" vous
plonge dans une nuit cosmique epaisse, ebree de perturbations magnetiques
lointaines. Pas de doute, nos trois mystagogues ont don de vous enroler dans
leur univers onirique. Laissez-vous faire, le voyage en vaut la peine.
