Stefano Musso studied art and electronics in his home town of Milan, Italy, and began performing ambient-electronic music under the name Alio Die in 1989. Characterized by evocative acoustic sounds manipulated and tendered electronically, Alio Die's work builds intimate soundscapes tied to the mystery and majesty of life and nature. His CD Under an Holy Ritual, released on Projekt in 1992, was received with international acclaim. He subsequently released more than 20 CDs, and collaborated with many well-known artists such as Robert Rich, Vidna Obmana, Mathias Grassow, Nick Parkin, Yannick Dauby, Amelia Cuni, Raffaele Serra, Ora, Antonio Testa.
