Aluviana’s music could be regarded as the continuation of dark ambient and post-industrial music before the most recent electronic trends took over.

About Bucno Olje
Hearing tones and chords as he painted, the father of abstract art, Kandinsky theorised that, for example, yellow is the colour of middle-C on a piano, a brassy trumpet blast; black is the colour of closure and the ends of things; and that combinations and associations of colors produce vibrational frequencies akin to chords played on a piano.
Inversely thereto, Aluviana uses sounds of contemporary life i.e. 'sounds of the time', to compose an aural painting. And from the very early tones onwards, the picture painted in oil, slowly unfolds. The oil drop trail gradually reveals reasons for religious discrimination, recession, growing mass poverty, international debt, depopulation bombs, global inequality deepening socio-economic divisions etc. of today, before finally becoming a trail of blood.
However, tender Neo-classical strings adventurously intercept the industrial ambience buildup of this 10-minute, single track EP, reminding that while the worst is yet to be seen, it is the mankind's - rather than the artist's responsibility - to complete the painting.
Kandinsky would be pleased.
About C-drik / Aluviana - Moje Celo
Do you like Industrial dishes? Do you like Ambient dishes? Noise-peppers, hot and spicy? A slice of Musique Concrete followed by an Electroacoustic dessert pour la dame, peut-être?
Materialising from the previously well established recipes of chefs C-drík and Aluviana comes 'Moje Celo', a full pledged delicacy for the gourmands of the foregoing specialties.
Industrial and dark ambient intensities still prevail, rhythms escalate, alienating soundscapes abound. Female and male voice samples are used sparingly but effectively, adding to the general aesthetic of coldness.
A masterful exercise made using a colourful palette of sounds, rhythms and sometimes strings, slowly unfolds itself to a comprehensive atmospheric language - not to mention with a fair share of humour - so likely to ensue from both artists, providing an excellent listen and hopefully paving the way to forthcoming collaborations by the two musicians.
About Tiha Voda
Having previously explored the possibilities given by sampling and processing sounds sampled from nature, ‘Tiha Voda’ (‘Silent Water’) gives preference to a marriage of dark ambient and industrial soundscapes of the ‘90s, as compared to the presently more popular clicks ‘n cuts and glitchtronica. ‘Tiha Voda’ is a result of last years’ hard work, a mélange of occasional beats, combined with dark psychotic soundscapes and droney basslines, with several similar releases coming forth shortly.
The mood on this release is aimed to create a menacing sentiment of insecurity that is a result of mistreatment of people, all living things and our natural environment in our post-industrial civilization and communication society, opening possibilities of Space Age – a spectrum aspiration and fear, but also hope, carried on the wings of two lengthy musical compositions.
Once encompassed by the opening tones of the two tracks of this release, the listener remains mesmerised by the sheer intensity, unable to escape and unwilling to stop this journey until discovering light at the end of the tunnel, and hence, hope.
About Mila Bitja
Scenic, layered and intense, the latest trilogy by Aluviana is seen by this humble reviewer as a child's (children's?) voyage though the the Bardo plane of existence, to be born (again) unto this dreadful, unfair world.
Aluviana's trademark tonal textures and the industrial, droney rhythmic patterns are still there, but what truly sets this release apart is the tremendous intensity buildup, climaxing in the last track 'Vodna Bitja', reminiscent of a child finally reaching the protective water of mother's womb.
As compared to the previous release, 'Mila Bitja' will be much more to the liking of connoisseurs of rhythmic Industrial Ambient. However, a feeling of both happinness and sadness prevails as the artist slowly absorbs you into the journey of a soul, slowly transiting from one existence to another.
