A masterpiece of mystical wonder painted with the medium of music. I've seen him do this often in his music....but never better than this. Rsfx-amb/Bandcamp
there is only one Alio Die and the beautifully constructed listens he creates for us are such a special part of the experience of planet Earth. So expressive and emotive and spontaneously deep, we're blessed to have his music accompany our lives and reflections. thank you. Duff Egan/Bandcamp
Such exquisite complexity in this drone world by Stefano Musso (ALIO DIE). But, then again, they always are.
What an experience it would be to follow Stefano on one of his creations, and watch him meticulously stitch together such intricate works. Until that time, however, we'll have to appreciate this drone master from his finished work.
And by world I do mean one organic one, like this holy planet Earth. Alio Die's "Standing in a Place", 2015-2016, strips down naked its attributes to portray a peaceful entanglement of very fine threads weaving inch by inch a personal and universal attractive mirror world or even better your own, if lucky.
Back to nature, without self induced hazards, in sheer ecstasy of appreciation without any kind of organic or artificial aid, but the reinterpretation of the flow of time with its sonic counterpart in the hands of a highly trained disciple.
Progressive Electronics is not exactly what you will find here, electronically recorded and processed acoustic elements , if that is an issue, but thank the Gods, it is found in this PA's electronic world.
I can repeat myself, as I have done in most of my Alio Die's reviews, but then again to cut it short, Alio Die's own musical idiom can not be compared to no one's else vocabulary, therefore for those already aquainted with his music, this release as expected rates an easy 4.5 rating. For those new comers do not miss if you like to take a dive in a world where time stands still according to your own perception of the same, in a highly rich, creative and breathable place very much in tune to your own earthly floor and blood, wherever you happen to be, beyond all that and below!
