I’s happening to experimental and non commercial music, too, where listener were usually more motivated to buy the real cd. Less people buy original cds and more and more people copy. We know the reasons about that, downloads from the internet mainly. If you mean the music business, yes it is in a kind of crisis. What’s your view on the music scene at present? Is there a crisis? Alio Die's music, in the consciousness space that creates, it's a melting of technology and mysticism, like a new ritual with echoes of a medioeval time, deep and grounded in introspection."Īnd as this bio is rather limited here's an interview he did in 2008Ģ008 intervew by Tobias Fischer, he is editor-in-chief of tokafi, publisher of 15 Questions and a cultural editor for Germany's biggest Printmag on Recording, „Beat“.

"Natural and acoustic sounds and selected noises, electronically treated and reworked, are integrated in a meditative and spiritual context that often, in the feeling, becomes close to a prayer. He subsequently released more than 25 CDs, and collaborated with many well-known artists such as Robert Rich, Vidna Obmana, Mathias Grassow, Nick Parkin, Yannick Dauby, Amelia Cuni, Raffaele Serra, Ora, Antonio Testa. His music is a shadowy, cavernous, intensely detailed fusion of acoustical elements, step-and-repeat sample treatments, sparse, echoing percussion, and deep, atmospheric sound design, playing ambient's static tendencies off of shifting melodic and textural passages that suggest movement without sacrificing the music's vague, entropic formlessness. Enthusiastically received in his home country, 'Holy Ritual' expanded Musso's international presence significantly in 1993 when it was licensed by the popular U.S. His first CD "Under an Holy Ritual", released on his label Hic Sunt Leones in 1992 and re-released on Projekt in 1993, was received with international acclaim.

There's much to overcome but never before have circumstances been more favorable to create a new world. Western society is at a crossroads will we acknowledge every human having the right to earn a living wage will we condemn those that exploit others, will we understand that most billionaires have sold their soul and lead empty lives, even though rightwing media do everything to glamorize it. For months the people have seen that the country was kept going by the socalled little people, the nurses, the shop assistants, lorry drivers, food couriers, the cleaners, without them society would have collapsed. The people understand that the only way we can get through this is through solidarity, and all this during a time the US and UK are run by (far)rightwing leadership who's modus operandi has been divide and rule, countries too that show a high death toll from the virus. Coupled with the huge financial uncertainty millions face specially in the US as unemployment=poverty looms in the wake of the Corona epidemic. Hello, as riots have become demonstrations all over the US and the Western world, clearly there's more going on then the cynical police murder of a black man, this ugly face of racism opened the eyes of other minorities be them Latino's, Asians, Muslims, Jews.
