That Which Is Not :: Wearing Serpents like Garlands (ROHS!)
Defined by an intricate layering of instruments, particularly within the classical music realm, which are then transformed and reshaped through the use of vintage electronic devices, adding a unique depth and texture to the acoustic arrangements.

Tetragram is a captivating experience through perception, nature, and the passage of time, blending subtle noise and intricate instrumental textures into a soundscape unlike any other.
bvdub :: 13 (Past Inside the Present)
The emotional resonances of this album would seem to be marred by writing a review that cannot, by its very nature, encompass the fluxing changes of musical flow and depth captured on 13. Just listen to it and be swept into a world that’s always changing, fates of people and nations rising and falling. This is something we should be unconcerned about, and instead offer our trust, care and love back to the world.
missing scenes :: dream or memory? (Varia)
missing scenes explores a love of nature, darkness, light, and the importance of memory, sleep, and dreaming.

Everyday Dust :: Petroglyph X and The Fractured Veil (Dustopian Frequencies)
As with every trip into outer and inner places, there is much to ruminate on here after the return home. Further sessions haven’t proved to exhaust what is opened up here, but have only served to expose the many doors along the cobwebbed corridor where one can be drawn into further phantasmal realms.
Giancarlo Toniutti :: Bàardum Guùmuse (For Your Red Tongue) (Anomalous)
