New Album out November 25th
ALOS EMBRACE THE DARKNESS
her lense, her senses.
And ultimately feel what Stromboli's nature was trying to tell her. Be it a cave, or vulcano, ?Alos is the
ultimate vehicle to take you out of yourself and into that other essential being. The last years have
made her see and unsee the depths of life, and she has her story to tell. The world and we, as
witnesses, are blessed with the presence of the archaic motherartist and modern witch that she is.
She has our story to tell. Embrace the Darkness and worship the Light.
– CHVE (Amenra)
Through the new Videoclip Embrace The Darkneed by Giulio Di Mauro, I am extremely happy to announce that my new album “Embrace The Darkness” come out November 25th via Dio Drone and Archaeological Records , 12-inch vinyl record embellished by a 36 pages art book published by Occulto . The album was born out from the meeting between Alos and the island of Stromboli, during a practice-based artistic residency in summer 2022 at Maroni Festival.
Six tracks merged into one single magma of sounds, live-recorded in different parts of the island, using voice, modular synthesizers, glass art-objects, bells and volcanic stones.
All sounds in the record, both acoustic or electronic, were registered live by Marcello Batelli in various,
mainly natural locations on the Stromboli island, like Sciara del Fuoco and the cave of Aeolus.
Batelli’s work with sound donates outstanding depth and life to the first claustrophobic, then liberatory
atmospheres created by Alos’ on-site performance.
The artist’s book is the visual counterpart of the record, featuring photos and videostills shot by Giulio
Di Mauro, and expands the narration in a polyphonic direction thanks to text contributes by Marcello
Baltelli, Francesca R.Y.F Morello, Alice Cannavà, Giulio Di Mauro, Naresh Ran, and Klaus Miser among others.
The release date of the Embrace the Darkness edition is November 25th, 2023, the 680th anniversary
of a tsunami caused by a volcanic eruption in Stromboli in 1343.

Ritual II Embrace The Darkness IS ALIVE
How to destroy the verb? By throwing it into the mouth of a volcano, by drowning the words in the shadows and rotting vegetal proliferation, by throwing them into the volutes of fire hidden in clouds of black smoke.
Ritual II Embrace the Darkness How to destroy the verb? By throwing it into the mouth of a volcano, by drowning the words in the shadows and rotting vegetal proliferation, by throwing them into the volutes of fire hidden in clouds of black smoke.
Choosing places for the symbolic value of their light, thus beginning to work on a ritual that is created at the same time as and in proximity to a volcanic eruption.
Because, linking up with the semiotics of dreaming, the volcano has a symbology that incorporates the meanings of the four fundamental natural elements: fire (the magma, the lava), air (the profusion of gas, smoke and ash that it projects upwards, into the sky), water (the water vapour that it expels, as well as the flow of lava down its sides) and earth: the volcano is the mountain that connects the depths of the Earth (unconscious) to the sky (conscious thought).
This Ritual II aims to “explore the opposites, the two ends of the Whole. Because “everything – the light, the dark, the beauty, the pain – is perfect just as it is.”
The live performance is a ritual, a collective experience, a sound and emotional journey.
Alos feels the time has come to go beyond herself, to take a step back. Interrupting again the linearity of design thought, seeking the path to understanding abstract thought, with ever greater determination.
Not a personal growth path, nor a collective healing practice, nor the accurate explanation of a profound insight, but the enactment of abstract thinking.
