Quotes from some album's reviews:

"The frightening nature of the sublime resonates in Disappearing’s regress into interiority, subverting the associations of choral music as sacred into something far darker."

A CLOSER LISTEN (USA)


"Een overdonderend meesterwerk!"

DE SUBJECTIVISTEN (NL)


"If the sweat in the palms of my hand is an indicator of emotional intensity, this album definitely belongs on the top the list!"

AMBIENTBLOG (NL) - HEADPHONE COMMUTE (USA)


"Una via possibile tra gli echi sacri della polifonia rinascimentale e le dolenti waste lands dell’ambient/drone contemporanea. 7,5"

ONDAROCK (I)


"Last year's Borders And Ruinswas a revelation, and somehow his new album Disappearing In A Mirror transcends even those heights. Aldinucci's control over the small loops he samples, and the variation and urgency he pulls from the layering & processing of those source sounds is incredible."

UTILITY FOG - FBi RADIO (AUS)


"Le successeur du magnifique Borders and Ruins de l’an passé dont on parlait ici surpasse encore en beauté comme en intensité ses élégies de fin des temps [...].  Douloureusement beau."

THE WIRE (UK)


"Una obra maestra de ambient magistralmente compuesta y con un diseño sonoro excepcional, una continuación más que digna de su anterior trabajo "Borders And Ruins", de gran éxito que estuvo durante varios años en las listas de lo mejor del 2017."

ATMÓSPHERA - RADIO 3 (E)


"Il nuovo lavoro di Aldinucci lacera al pari del vento che furioso sprigiona, colpisce diretto allo stomaco e annienta con l’arma della superba bellezza, chi rapito lo ascolta. ELEGIACO."

ROCKERILLA (I)


"Klangzauberer Giulio Aldinucci sind dabei Tracks geglückt, die gleichmässig unheimlich, schwermütig wie auch erhaben und schön sind."

ARTNOIR (CH)


"One of the best ambient albums of 2018."

LOOP (RCH)


"Ollaan muutoksen keskellä, katsahdetaan ajattomaan ihmissieluun ja sen sisäisiin maisemiin."

YLE (FIN)


"Established Italian sound artist Aldinucci here offers up a seven-pack of fluid ambient landscapes with a grandiose scale, built from choral sounds, reverberant cavernous rumbles, alienated washes and textures."

CHAIN D.L.K. (USA)


"Un anno dopo Borders And Ruins, coi suoi mirabili paesaggi sonori in bilico tra squarci elettronici e field recordings, Disappearing In A Mirror offre l’ennesimo spaccato di una ricerca sonora che, al di là del concept, continua a essere focalizzata sulla migliore traduzione possibile di emozioni e percezioni in note dal grande impatto."

THE NEW NOISE (I)


"Aldinucci spiegelt ons een beeld voor van de huidige situatie van voortdurende verandering en gunt ons tegelijkertijd een blik in de menselijke, tijdloze ziel. Aldinucci levert hier nog maar eens het bewijs dat hij een meester is in het maken van stemmige en beklijvende geluidslandschappen."

DARKENTRIES (B)


"Majestätisch, zeitlos aufwühlender Drone."

SKUG (A)


"Un champ lexical et acoustique relatif au mystère et aux non-dits qui définit parfaitement sa capacité à raconter des histoires complexes sans un seul mot, mais uniquement avec des intonations détaillant mieux que n’importe quel qualificatif une volonté de perdre ses auditeurs dans les tourbillons de l’existence pour mieux leur révéler le chemin qu’ils méritent."

TARTINE DE CONTREBASSE (F)


"(CD TIPP) Gewaltige Klangkaskaden, verfremdete Chöre und Stimmen, Streicher."

RADIOHOERER (D)


The composition Aphasic Semiotics is included on The Wire Tapper 48 CD attached to The Wire magazine #417, November 2018

THE WIRE (UK)


"Un tracciato avvolgente che sa superare il limite di una stretta continuità sonora attraverso la sua marcata impronta emozionale.  Sacralità postmoderna."

SOWHAT (I)


"De muziek nodigt namelijk uit tot bezinning, tot rust te komen, tot het zichzelf in vraag stellen en misschien zelfs wel een klein ant-woordje daarop te vinden. En ook zonder die poespas is dit gewoon een heel mooi album. "

GONZO CIRCUS (NL)


"Giulio Aldinucci je v nejlepším smyslu romantická duše a jeho díla, vždy mimohudebně tematicky zaměřená, v sobě nesou nijak nezlehčovanou vážnost a rozjímavost."

HIS VOICE (CZ)


"Un composito spaccato di una ricerca al tempo stesso concettuale e percettiva, veicolata da una costante transizione di drone e modulazioni, ora rarefatte ora giustapposte in vortici ascensionali dagli imponenti tratti suggestivi."

MUSIC WON'T SAVE YOU (I)


"Disappearing in a Mirror ist ein intensives Al - bum, das die tiefen Schichten der menschlichen Seele berührt."

FREISTIL (A)


"Aldinucci spiegelt ons een beeld voor van de huidige situatie van voortdurende verandering en gunt ons tegelijkertijd een blik in de menselijke, tijdloze ziel. Aldinucci levert hier nog maar eens het bewijs dat hij een meester is in het maken van stemmige en beklijvende geluidslandschappen."

VDG-STUDIOEKZ (NL)


"In due anni, Aldinucci ha dato vita a due album di grande spessore, diventando inevitabilmente uno dei punti di riferimento per il genere drone/ambient."

MUSICMAP (I)


"Einen körnig-matschigen Graupelschauer-Ambient, einen Vorboten des kommenden Winters im spätherbstlichem Restlicht."
