Italian sound artist Giulio Aldinucci returns with his 4th album on Karl: »Real« is again a truly masterfully composed and sound-designed ambient LP and a worthy follow-up to the critically acclaimed »Borders And Ruins« (2017), »Disappearing In A Mirror« (2018) and »Shards Of Distant Times«.

With his 4th album for Karl, the sound artist from Siena (Italy) has proved a steady and prolific artist on the label roster. And each time, Giulio Aldinucci delivers a new ambient LP that clearly carries his signature as composer / producer and yet reveals a slightly different approach to his modus operandi. Aldinucci's massive layers of sound, built from field recordings and an array of electronic gear, blend droney ambient with heavenly voices / sacred music that create an atmosphere of a consolatory melancholy – alien, but with a graspable presence of human souls. And each album deals with a topic that Aldinucci came across in his observations of and reflections about today’s society.

In the words of Giulio Aldinucci himself: »The digital media we live with shape and define reality by filtering it, letting us run the risk of living without our personal and unique one. My new album expresses a need of something unmediated and authentic. »Real« is a reflection on the endless possibility of sonic transformation, the ability we have to create new realities transmuting the soundscape around us and the inner soundscape inside us, even only by imagining it. A (deep)real experience permeated by dreamy lyricism.«
