He moves through different musical styles, with Gino Fioravanti has relesed many cd for mind and spirit. "The concept of AGLAIA is to create long musical instants,apparently motionless, but with inside the movement of undreds of nuances,micro-variations, pulsations. A fluid, sonoruous tapestry with a never ending motion. The music was thought like a magma of raw materials to refine throught an infinite number of sonorous passages. The listening of T.O.E. behave towards the micro-particle that compose our subtle individual plot, in a world wherenothing is firm and nothing is really moving."

The sound is based on warm but at the same time somehow distanced synthetic textures, and classical “el-music”. Gino Fioravanti and Gianluigi Toso come trailing credentials in therapy, writing, painting, and teaching, to say nothing of alchemy and ortho-bionomy. In the Aglaia Collection (it’s about 20 albums releases in 15 years ) they bring with them an appealing aquatic/amniotic sound dimension, characterized by a combination of electronic sounds (analogies as the sleeve notes would have it) and processed acoustic moving as if in virtual circular breathing. Slow waves of soundflow suggestive of psycho-acoustic energy (if you're a believer, otherwise just go with the flow) come with peripheral fragments of sonorities, carried on the wind, drifting as if at the edges of sleep, recalling the way echo plays in open landscapes. If you are looking for high-quality meditative or relaxing atmospheres that also work as engaging music, kind of like if Brian Eno and Steve Halpern did a collaboration, this is definitely worth the listen.
