Aqua Dorsa is a new Italian ambient project formed by Enrico Coniglio and Oöphoi. Their first work "Cloudlands" is a perfect mix of glitch, classical and orchestral glacial ambient soundscapes. Enrico Coniglio is a guitar player and composer, with releases on Touch, Crónica and Psychonavigation Records. Gianluigi Gasparetti (Oöphoi) started his own music experiments in 1995, trying to explore the shores of deep space-ambient. Oöphoi uses traditional instruments, synths and sampling machines, recording only using analogue only devices. Digipak.

OOPHOI - 'An Aerial View' CD (Glacial Movements)
First offering from the 'Würm Series', based on the world's most recent glaciation (10,000 years ago) and asking each artist to describe this endless Ice Age. "When I’ve been asked to describe the Ice Age with an uninterrupted drone, I knew I wanted to avoid the cliches of the genre: dark rumblings, massive low frequencies, cold atmospheres. I had to describe with sounds the white landscape, the blinding light reflected by the frozen oceans, the abyssal silence. I have imagined myself in flight over this Sleeping Earth, a solitary winged-being surrounded by winds, air, water and ice. This led me to compose an airy drone with minimal variations and delicate tones, an homage to a pure, uncontaminated and remote land" (Oöphoi). A singular 65-minute track presented in a digipak. Ltd x 750.
First ever vinyl by the Italian deep ambient master! Two long contemplative tracks into the centre of holy places (may it be physically or mentally), opening endless spaces with low humming and reverberating meditation-drones! Limited edition of 500 copies on luminous green vinyl, with full-colour artwork by 1000SCHOEN aka ex-Maeror Tri member Helge Siehl.

OOPHOI - 'The Spirals Of Time - Deluxe Edition' 3 x CD (Faria Records)
"The Spirals of Time" is considered the best of Oophoi's albums and has been recognised as one of the best drone-ambient projects of all time. Now this legendary album has been reissued in a deluxe 3-CD set! This record was initially created to become the finishing disk of this trilogy. Here you will find new ideas and new development of the concept. However the "classical" sound of "The Spirals of Time" is kept. Ltd x 500 copies in an outsized package with inserts. Russian import.
An excellent piece of work by Pavel Aleshin, whose drone soundscapes have previously been released by Oophoi's record label Umbra and Slovakia-based Black Orchid Productions. The album explores the area of sacral and infinite, hence the title. "S" can be seen as their symbol. Re-Drum was founded in 2002 by Pavel Aleshin. The sound of Re-Drum variates from deep drone / noise soundscapes, to light, warm, even melodical textures. For fans of Robert Rich, Lustmord, Troum, Maeror Tri, Lull or Yen Pox. Digipak.
