THIS IS THE SISTER ALBUM OF NEFELODHIS
BY MAURIZIO BIANCHI & SPARKLE IN GREY
"In geography, a desert is a landscape that receives little precipitation. The desert has a reputation for supporting very little life, often it is composed of sand and rocky surfaces, it sometimes contains valuable mineral deposits and usually has an extreme temperature range.
The translation in Greek is ‘èrimos’ from which we derive the words ‘hermitage’ and ‘hermit’. Who is the hermit? He is an ascetic who lives alone in solitary and deserted spots, he keeps himself apart from the world in order to devote himself entirely to contemplation and to live in destitution.
In fact, the Erimos work ventures into experimental territory, extracting its preclusive opalisation from the rolling laceration of desecrated institutions." (Maurizio Bianchi)

2nd listen: beautiful collection of diverse pieces for a continuous seamless listening experience.
1st listen: the digital version on Mind over MIDI's page adds a couple tracks more in the mix nofatclips
Delicate and quiet, existing just at the edge of the senses, "Nature Mystic" is a subtle Ambient piece that offers beautiful nuance and textures to the active listener... rikm
Take the shimmering guitars of the Cocteau Twins, dilate and lengthen with the wistfulness of Boards of Canada and release them like one of Robert Rich’s haunting soundscapes with a jazz coda and you have Carlo Giustini's 'Custodi'. It's brilliant. sepulchre19
