CD  $15.00  ON SALE, $3.00  iTunes  Eleusian Lullaby Alio Die 2007 Projekt PRO208 (CD) ELEUSIAN LULLABY blends the natural, warm and earthy ambient compositions of Alio Die with the elegant, neo-classical voice of Martina, merging notes and silence into an expanded dreamscape.

CD out of stock iTunes  Khen Introduce Silence Alio Die 2003 Hic Sunt Leones HSL025 (CD) Taking basic improvisations from sounds produced only by a Khen (a mouth-organ from Thailand / Laos) and processed by different filters, pans and effects, Stefano Musso looks for a vibrational enviroment that is like a special point of view, where time changes its meaning and sometimes becomes absolutely relative, finding a place for contemplation, like being in the clouds and breathing with the sound of the spheres. Observe the circular harmony of seasons in its never-ending flow. It speaks like old poetry that is familiar to the soul.

CD out of stock iTunes  Sunja Alio Die, Zeit 2003 Hic Sunt Leones HSL024 (CD) Magic has blown its precious spores into the air. A human rite, humble and quiet, has evoked a red hot globe that gently illuminates the path toward the borders of SUNJA, the dream place where all vibrations start. Sometimes the light comes down from the sky, clear like a crystal. Sometimes it climbs slowly from the earth's depths, but it's always comforting. Crossing the thresholds of SUNJA is like landing on an uncontaminated island, its white sea-shores lapped by tepid foamy waters, inebriated with wide floral smells and saltiness in secret inland places and in caves dug from time, on top of the plateau from where it's possible to see beyond... SUNJA is creative strength enclosed in two long tracks of incredible intensity, rich in levels of knowledge, pure enchantment and beauty. The deep sound has an extraordinary symbolic and evocative power with a supreme purification owing to millenial percolations across the rocks. Music shines, beholds, resounds at the bottom of ourselves, lives and spreads out. We realize, in listening, that a light warmth closes in upon us, everything loses its own original sense, the gates open... the road is beaten. (Artist's description)   1.  The Gates Are Open MP3   2.  At the Threshold of Sunja MP3   hand-numbered, packaged with collages and hand-made prints

CD out of stock iTunes  The Sleep of Seeds Alio Die, Saffron Wood 2003 Hic Sunt Leones HSL 026 (CD) With its special hand-made package, containing seeds, leaves and other organic material, no two copies are alike. The title "The Sleep of Seeds" is also the opening track of this macroscopic journey into a world which spontaneously engages us when we travel through it... a link between life and earth, a passageway between time and change... an organinc sonic itinerary in which an hourglass often makes no sense, with only the sound of articulated and fragmentary notes... 50 minutes to wander between a seed and a grain of soil, into an infinite space while listening to a far away earth-longing sound. Recorded in Savona Italy August 2002 with various flutes, tubes, accordion, found objects, rattles, shells, bells and drones. Loops, effects, editing and mastering on ProTools at Temple Studio Milano, Spring 2003.   1.  The Sleep of Seeds MP3   2.  Awakening in a New Form MP3   3.  A Dream of Mother Ground MP3

CD out of stock iTunes  Prayer For the Forest Alio Die, Antonio Testa 2002 Green House Music GHM201 (CD) – rare last copies! This is a real favorite around here, sharing the same enchanting atmosphere as HEALING HERB'S SPIRIT. The percussive element is a bit stronger, and while its not specific to one region or style, the processed hand drums shift between somewhere in Africa and South America, then beyond to the new world. The gurgling soundscapes and organic textures give the feeling that you might find moss growing on your speaker ports by the time this CD is over. This and HEALING HERB'S SPIRIT are a must-have if you are drawn to the ethno- shamanic sound blends.   1.  African Dream MP3   2.  A Mechanical Dust Sphere     3.  Ancestor's Breath MP3   4.  Walking Through the Camp MP3   5.  Prayer For the Forest     6.  An Active Foggy Pathway MP3

CD out of stock iTunes  Leaves Net Alio Die 2001 Hic Sunt Leones HSL 019 (CD) – Italian import, artist-direct The third part of an ambient trilogy, a creative path of the music of Alio Die presented with artwork and text by painter Janusz Gilewicz. Natural and acoustic sounds and noises, electronically treated and reworked, are integrated in a meditative and spiritual context that often - in the feeling - become close to a prayer. This music is rich with hidden sounds, with layers of elements to discover at each listening. Alio Die's artful music creates a melting of technology and mysticism, like a new ritual with echoes of a medieval time, deep and grounded in introspection.   1.  Still Rapture MP3   2.  Breathing Again MP3   3.  First Perception MP3   4.  Leaves Net     5.  A Chaos of Desire MP3   6.  A Fragment of Fire MP3   7.  The Way of Fire MP3   8.  Concerning Simple Fire MP3   9.  Régénération     10.  Desire MP3

CD out of stock iTunes  Healing Herb's Spirit Alio Die, Antonio Testa 1999 Crowd Control Activities Crowded13 (CD) Alio Die is well known and respected worldwide for his ultra organic-soundscapes that often use extensively-processed natural sounds as the foundation for his hallucinogenic sound gardens. Here with fellow Italian Antonio Testa, the direction moves towards the shamanic as Testa brings his long list of ethnic percussion instruments to the mix. This is an outstanding stream of consciousness trip carried along by gentle rhythms, muted drones and Alio Die soundscapes hovering like a rainforest canopy.

CD out of stock iTunes  Password for Entheogenic Experience Alio Die 1998 Hic Sunt Leones HSL 015 (CD) – Italian import, artist-direct This 1998 continuous longform piece is a standout solo work from Italy's sound artist Alio Die.
