This IS Story telling music.
This is Instrumental music for the soul and senses.

Sometimes I have the impulse to revisit my material. This is the beauty and luxury of having control of your 'masters' and the opportunity to add to the sonic experience, if you feel you didn't get it so right the first time, or just the added luxury of being in control of your musical compositions.
This is also the opportunity to rediscover, re listen with fresh ears and maybe, just maybe, reevaluate some of your musical decisions.
The songs from 'An Ethereal Landscape' (remasters 2022)
-------------
......... Tracks like “Gravity” are marvelously hybrid…I can hear everything from chilled-out current Electro vibes to the influence of Post-Punk sound from as far back as the 80s/90s that form the core of a melody like this – like it really ain’t all that far removed from some of what you’d find in the music of a band like The Cure at times, but updated, you dig? Absolutely loving this track from Sommavilla…and in many ways, I felt like “Gravity” went on to retain its status as one of the strongest cuts you’ll find in the entire lineup of An Ethereal Landscape…the way this song opens up and this sonic story unfolds is perfectly played in my opinion......

.......Galliano finishes off An Ethereal Landscape with one last dose of serious musicianship & stellar sound…you gotta hand it to this man…he certainly knows how to put a full album together in a way that gives you plenty to contemplate & consider while you’re being entertained. All-in-all, he’s got a really great record here.

...Silky smooth production. Wildly chill. A relaxing step back. A deep breath in. A relaxing breath out. Galliano Sommavilla’s album—the one part electronic, one part chill, one part world—An Ethereal Landscape offers another side of this man’s ability to create respite through his music....
The Ark of Music

.......I’m almost caught off guard, and the intense presence of each one makes me desperate to pay attention to EVERYTHING at once.......
It’s a bit overwhelming, but at the same time feels like a world unto itself, a step into Sommavilla’s own version of Oz, where everything is unfamiliar, new, and entrancing. At first, one might want to retreat, but eventually can’t help but follow the curiosity into this beautiful swirl of sound and movement.........
........At first, the song sounded so much like a soundtrack for a scene in a dark, cold forest, with creatures roaming the night, that for a while, I couldn’t figure out why it was called “Air and Water”. Then I got it. The steady movements of the beginning may have been meant to serve as a backdrop, the backdrop of natural elements behaving as we love them to – safe and beautiful, with subtle surprises – breezes, soft, lapping waves. When the song shifts gears, it represents the elements at their wildest, their most powerful: hurricanes, rip tides, big winter waves with all their thrill and chill....

....A Chilled Sunny Day is Sommavilla’s soundscape that touches upon the brightness of a crisp spring morning. The hope and potential present during this period is bolstered through approximations of nature and everyday human interactions.....
