217 followers on SoundCloud, I feel almost privileged to be a part of this small bunch of fine listeners. ‘No Body’ is definitely a talent not yet emerged, or maybe he doesn’t want, I like to think that his nick was chosen because it is burdensome to find in Google.
Everything stops and is alive with No Body’s tracks in background.

His debut album The Uncanny Valley is out and you can buy/support it on Bandcamp.

Crossing styles and boundaries, Holographic Codex is a mixture of atmospheric ambience, IDM sequences and psybient textures; these cult Italian musicians create a blending of ritualistic soundscapes and technogenic landscapes. Alio Die has over 60 releases, some on America’s Projekt Records and others on his own Hic Sunt Leones label. Montana recorded 5 collaborations with Pete Namlook on Pete’s German FAX label, plus released 10 solo albums with various European imprints.

On their first collaboration, Alio Die & Lorenzo Montanà create transporting and alluring aural sceneries of evolving, intimate sounds. Featuring intriguing beats seldom heard on Alio Die albums and a greater use of textural, granular synths than past releases from Montanà, Holographic Codex is awash in mystical drones and cosmic impulses surrounded by subtle hints towards the atmosphere of the Renaissance.

Standout tracks include the early 70s Tangerine Dream-flavoring of “Silent Rumon” and the psybient escapism of the opener, “Muns de Etrah.”

Distant echoes of ancient monastery, choral voices of lost languages, and musical structures of shifting melodic and textural passages reveal that Holographic Codex is a secret code: a precise and skillfully crafted mantra of hypnotic sonic depth and symbolic fragments. A revealing listening experience.

Thirty spokes meet in the hub,
but the empty space between them
is the essence of the wheel.

Walls with windows and doors
form the house,
but the empty space within it
is the essence of the home.

The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction. The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyper real. (J.B.)

Arts The Beatdoctor is a producer from the Netherlands who crushes electronic synths with organic field recordings. The result is a raw, knob-twisting commixture in the vein of his contemporaries Flying Lotus, Bonobo, and Dorian Concept.
On the stage he is equal parts DJ and musician, building immersive mixes from his catalog while incorporating studio production techniques and live instrumentation.
