Take the time to listen the available previews (look at the left of the page). I hope you'll like the atmospheres emerging from the songs. I will not spend many words trying to describe the kind of instrumental music I compose (those descriptions risk to be all too similar), but here below I'd like to report some comments from listeners around the world.
I hope you will enjoy the music as they do.
||||[Finis Terrae #1] __"Alessandro has put together some great tracks. He indicates that this is the first of a new trilogy. This new track shows some growth and sophistication that is a pleasure to hear. I trust the rest of the trilogy will show the same growth and improvement. Enjoy." - Andy Schmidt for *Eclectic Connection* (former mp3.com station)
||||[Finis Terrae #2] __"Continuing where he left off with part 1, here we have more beautiful synths - atmospheric and moody, again, bringing to mind the music of bands like Tangerine Dream and Sad World." - Paul Nurminem for *Gloom-Beat* (former mp3.com station)
||||[Finis Terrae #3] __"Continuing where he left off with part 2, the music here starts out slowly, in a nice tranquil arrangement; with parts dropping in and out of the mix - including a section where it's almost entirely bell sounds, followed by the return of the guitar from part 1. After this, the synths return, and the song finishes in a soft but beautiful climax." - Paul Nurminem for *Gloom-Beat* (former mp3.com station)
||||[Metamorphosis #1] __"A dense, broad, well arranged and balance piece, ... simply great symphonic electronica!" - ASYSA for *The Source* (former mp3.com station)
||||[Lontano] "Composing this way is not an accident. Lontano is a lovely amalgam of sonic delights. The music is uplifting, overflowing with mystery, and totally enchanting. Score: 9.20" - Kenny Croes for *Gods of Music* (on www.godsofmusic.com under "Atman" pseudonym)
||||[Volo #1] __"Beautiful mix of classical music with ambient space" - *Climate* (former mp3.com station)
||||[Spazio Esterno #2] __"This organ spacemusic is hauntingly beautiful. This reminds me a bit of Klaus Schulze's first solo recording IRRLICT." - Craig Padilla for *Electronic Soundscapes* (former mp3.com station)
||||[Spazio Esterno #3] __"Beautiful postmodern instrumental" - Jason Artman for *The Late Bar* (former mp3.com station)
||||[Pianeta Ghiacciato] __"Great Soundscapes in the best Berlin-School-Tradition!" - Poegs for *Tangerine Dream Tribute* (former mp3.com station)
