Alio Die & Dirk Serries - The Chapters Of The Eclipse (CD)

Release Date: 03/10/23

<B>Expose Magazine</B> writes: A must-have for aficionados of floating ambient sounds -- it doesn't get much better than this.

The chapters of the eclipse is the new musical union of Italy's Alio Die (Stefano Musso) and Belgium's Dirk Serries (vidnaObmana) which, more than twenty years after their previous collaboration (Echo Passage, Projekt 1999), contains three compositions in a suspended airy, majestic succession. These liquid soundscapes create an elegy of pure sonic beauty.

The chapters of the eclipsereveals layers of eternity in each phase like a moon bath vitalizing luminous patches in expanded and contemplative dronescapes. The meditative and minimalist electronic ambient sky is suspended at the interval for liberation from the shadows of becoming: life in its most essential orientation.

The chapters of the eclipseimparts passage to a realm of transcendence, a reflection on life while absorbing the beautiful harmonics of these essential dronescapes originating from electric guitar, zither and processing.

John W Patterson of eer-music.com & ambientmusic-radio.com writes: I've listened several times to The chapters of the eclipse -- and can quickly and assuredly recommend this as one of the finest ambient releases I have experienced in several years!! It is free of beats and percussive elements. It's pure flowing soundscapes and is deeply relaxing. Bravo Die and Serries!!
