"Stefano Pilía is an Italian-based artist who reminds me most of the mighty Campbell Kneale AKA Birchville Cat Motel. These frozen drones unfold like a slow blooming flower during the first month of spring. These tracks are beautiful in a heartbreaking way. It's like watching the sunset for the final time, knowing that tomorrow will never come." Reissue of Healing Memories in Present Tension with an album worth of bonus material. Stefano also appears as a member of 3/4 Had Been Eliminated, and as a collaborator with Black Forest/Black Sea.

Title:	The Suncrows Fall and Tree
Label:	SEDIMENTAL
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	SED 045CD

"The Suncrows Fall and Tree bolsters Stefano Pilia's small but substantial and well received body of solo work (LVD, Time-Lag) along with his participation in the highly lauded 3/4HadBeenEliminated project with Valerio Tricoli and Claudio Rocchetti. The new document contains two 20-minute long sound arcs that are sweeping and focused, essentially drone pieces. They are beautiful in their restraint but not 'pretty' and are grounded in the subtle use of acoustic and natural sound elements. The work was composed and recorded between 2003 and 2005 in Bologna, Milano, Codroipo and Arbatax using the following sound sources and devices: electric guitar, field recordings, microphones, piano, tape noise, instruments played by wind, sine waves, PVC tubes, filters with an additional contribution from Andrea Belfi of high frequency synth. Besides the above mentioned projects, Pilia is also a member of the Medves project and a collaborator with Black Forest/Black Sea and has contributed to numerous installation and film sound works."
