He studied music and architecture and, in the late ’60s, collaborated with local artist \u003cstrong\u003eAlan Sorrenti\u003c\/strong\u003e, American expat \u003cstrong\u003eShawn Phillips\u003c\/strong\u003e and various avant-garde theater groups. A virtuoso guitarist and self-taught composer, Cilio released only one LP before his untimely death at the age of 33.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDialoghi Del Presente\u003c\/em\u003e (1977) is a work like no other, one that sounds both ancient and ahead of its time. Produced by \u003cstrong\u003eRenato Marengo\u003c\/strong\u003e, it features a series of muted tableaux for strings, woodwinds, guitar, chorus, piano and percussion. Cilio carves out a space where subtle, repetitive phrases yield—almost imperceptibly—to breathtaking silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs \u003cstrong\u003eJim O’Rourke\u003c\/strong\u003e writes, “These recordings sound as if they were to please no one but himself; they feel selfcontained, introspective, and determined ... You can feel in the music a sort of necessity that can be rarely found, like in This Heat’s debut or Nick Drake’s \u003cem\u003ePink Moon\u003c\/em\u003e.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile each subsequent “\u003cem\u003equadro\u003c\/em\u003e” grows more abstract, Cilio draws the listener into an expansive, pastoral soundscape. The closing piece, “\u003cem\u003eInterludio\u003c\/em\u003e,” begins with a plaintive guitar, which is joined by haunting strings and woodwinds before concluding, poignantly, as the album began, with Cilio and his guitar, alone once more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuperior Viaduct\u003c\/strong\u003e’s edition reproduces the original sleeve design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eRecommended for fans of:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Johann Johannsson, Talk Talk’s Spirit of Eden, Arvo Part and Popol Vuh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Superior Viaduct","offers":[{"title":"LP - Vinyl","offer_id":57199890334041,"sku":"SDZ-21787","price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Luciano_Cilio_-_Dialoghi_Del_Presente_-_2026_Reissue.jpg?v=1770120269","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/luciano-cilio-dialoghi-del-presente-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
