"It's
a truly haunting landscape of sound, gauzy and indistinct, softly
pulsing and strangely granular, as of whatever bonds holding these
songs together is truly tenuous, and as such, songs don't start and
stop as much as bleed into each other, crumbling into nothingness, only
to slowly surface in another form, that form in constant flux,
billowing and ethereal, dense and ominous, whispery and serene, all the
while, the artifacts of life, the sonic detritus of everyday life, lay
beneath these undulating swells of chordal thrum, of tranquil mesmer,
of haunting, harrowing loveliness. This just might be our favorite TRS
release yet. "

CONCERTZENDER (NL)
"Many
field recordings that got manipulated by Giulio have been wisely placed
in this perpetual ascension towards ethereal regions of composer's
feelings and memories and the summit of the sacred (both artificial and
natural) places which features his personal and sensorial history.  "

Spazio Sacro was incuded on the 2015 remarkable music
list by Stochastic Resonance.
STOCHASTIC RESONANCE (I)
"Lo
stream of consciousness dell’artista toscano, tra gli alfieri di una
nicchia tricolore da celebrare per i continui passi avanti sulla via
dell’originalità, della passione, delle soluzioni trovate e della resa
uditiva.  9/10"
ECTRONIQUE.IT (I)
"Something
new floats in every time I play this album, which is truly
remarkable.The combination of experimental, abstract ambient, drones
and soundscapes with very minimal percussion or sounds of rain, makes
this a very beautiful trip throughout these sanctuaries. This is
some
high quality sound manipulation with a firm focus on atmosphere and
mystery."

"Relaxing and fascinating because it is so real".

Music Won't Save You.
MUSIC WON'T SAVE YOU (I)
"Spazio
Sacro is lofty in its ambitions, its approach, its sounds, and yet
somehow the end result, of bombastic grandeur, feels neither
pretentious nor overwhelming"
BANDCLOUD (IRL)
"Per
Giulio Aldinucci un posto di rilievo fra i compositori italiani: in
Spazio Sacro (Time Released Sound), un viaggio nell'idea del "sacro",
con architetture e soundscapes che, a partire da bordoni disegnano
linee di continuità tra cattedrali e monti simbolici"
5 per 2015 - IL MANIFESTO (I)
"In
‘Spazio Sacro’, Aldinucci has managed to capture the serenity of each
space and intertwine it with his own spacious arrangements to enhance
their natural wonder. 8/10 "
ANTHEM REVIEW (AUS)
"As
evident to anyone who enjoyed the dazzling monochromes of Aer, recently
exhaled on Dronarivm, Giulio Aldinucci is a seal with a beach ball at
balancing field recording, ambient, minimalist composition and musique
concrète. [...] Without knowing anything about Aldinucci’s relationship
to religion, his reenactment of its length and breadth on Spazio Sacro
evokes feelings of both wonder and dread."
IGLOO MAGAZINE (USA)
"La
realtà che accompagna il ricordo trasformatosi in solenne cerimonia
ambient. Giulio Aldinucci ci commuove nuovamente con un disco che non è
semplice cronaca registrata di liturgia religiosa. I suoi fields
recordings sono diari di un viaggio lungo i luoghi puri del ricordo lì
dove il rumore si trasforma in musica, la musica in pura sacralità.
MOTI D'ANIMO."
ROCKERILLA (I)
"And
all these pieces, with their root-grasp on thought, rationale and
emotion, perfectly encapsulate why this is one label to think about,
listen to, as well as watch"
FLUID RADIO (UK)
"“Spazio
Sacro” celebrates the beauty that is all around, and Giulio Aldinucci
proves that John Cage’s “Everything we do is music” is true."
BEACH SLOTH (USA)
"This
results in a charming, ancient and mysterious mood throughout the
album. Spazio Sacro also shows how sound connects to one’s
memories about time and places. The flexibility of processed recordings
brings sonic storytelling and imagination closer together."
Cánh đồng âm nhạc (VN)
"Giulio
Aldinucci’s work evokes a strong and clear sense of the places and
times that occupy the memory chambers in his life, and the traditions
at the heart of those recollections are timeless."
WAJOBU (USA)
"Un viaggio sonoro emozionante."
SODAPOP (I)
"L’ensemble
se trouve toujours rehaussé par des textures électroniques
particulièrement riches, faites de granulations et de légères
saturations. Leur caractère enveloppant vient alors combler l’auditeur
qui pourra également trouver un refuge salutaire dans certaines de
leurs colorations plus lumineuses.  "
EtherREAL (F)
"Shrouded
and melodic, Spazio Sacro is exactly what Giulio Aldinucci wanted it to
be - distilled worship and all the wonder that comes so readily with
it. "
NORMAN RECORDS (UK)
"Aldinucci
supera qui sostanzialmente l'eterno dualismo tra l'ambient letto
(interiormente) come “suono dell'ambiente” (suono che appartiene
all'ambiente, lo costituisce) ed (esteriormente) come “suono per
l'ambiente” (suono che è costruito, elaborato, pensato per adattarsi
all'ambiente, o per suggerirne l'evocazione, o ancora suono prodotto
dall'ambiente stesso) [...]
Straordinario. 7,5"
ONDAROCK (I)
"Spazio
Sacro is covered in a thick gauze of effects that make the slightest
gestures reverberate endlessly, if only to amplify their relationship
to the steadily beating heart beneath. Spazio Sacro is a
musically affective and sonically imagistic electro-acoustic work, and
certainly the best work that Aldinucci has done to date. This release
comes highly recommended to fans of sound art and modern classical
music."
FOREIGN ACCENTS (USA)
"Un
dialogo di Giulio con se stesso che, parlandosi, riesce a riportare
sotto forma di musica, in maniera molto umile e serena, le sue memorie.
Un lavoro molto intimo ed importante."
AGATHA SPEAKS (I)
"In
a way, this album could be described as a collection of audio postcards
from Italy. Or better: small details of audio postcards, since
the field recordings are heavily manipulated and moody layers of
electronics are added for enhanced (sacred) atmospheres."
AMBIENTBLOG (NL)
"Anche
senza conoscerne titolo e traccia concettuale, dai quaranta minuti di
“Spazio Sacro” traspare una naturale solennità spirituale, veicolata da
modulazioni di timbri organici ed aperture maestose, interpolate da
minuti granuli sonori, sotto forma di risonanze, frammenti liquidi e
ulteriori dettagli raccolti in loco. [...]Dal contesto esteriore al
rapimento spirituale il passo è breve negli spazi perpetuati
dall’elaborazione di Aldinucci, il cui stesso soundscaping ambientale
assume in “Spazio Sacro” una connotazione umana non più soltanto
simbolica ma radicata negli istinti profondi che luoghi e suoni,
insieme, possono suscitare."
MUSIC WON'T SAVE YOU (I)
"Aldinucci
jak zawsze trzyma wysoki poziom i potrafi za pomocą ambientowej poetyki
opowiedzieć wciągającą opowieść."
