Review of the album Celestial Keys

"From underwater to heavenly sounds.
Italian composer Alessio Elia, born in 1979, has gained international recognition for his polysystemism, the simultaneous use of different tuning systems. This is reflected in his orchestral works, which are characterized by mysterious, shimmering sounds and acoustic references to underwater worlds or intergalactic vastness."

SCHWETZINGER ZEITUNG
Voids of Inequality

13.10.2024

"In tension-filled dynamic developments and polyphonic patterns that dissolve and reassemble, both tonal and atonal principles appear suspended. The string instruments, tuned in varying temperaments, produce sounds that, in their elemental archaism, conjure an aesthetic chaos as much as they tame it. Interwoven with the shimmering harmonics of the violins and cello, the clarinet assumes a prominent role that ultimately merges into the collective".
