Lio Mori Announces Wildly Eclectic New Album ‘Egyperces Dalok’

The nomad “crypto-musician” embraces a decentralized world on his fifteen track, genre-defying record.

After attracting attention with three tracks featured on Hed P.E.’s album ‘Califas Worldwide,’ Lio Mori is taking center stage with his full length debut album.

As an early adopter of blockchain technology, Lio Mori has always been a forward thinker. On ‘Egyperces Dalok,’ he has created a thoroughly modern piece of art, offering a kaleidoscope of dissonant noise rock, ambient soundscapes, and warm folk melodies in the form of collectible NFT’s. The result is an album that completely reimagines the future of the music industry.

On the opening track ‘Prisni,’ Lio introduces a glitchy, minimalist piano melody, giving the listener a moment to take a deep breath before the journey truly begins. The serenity is instantly shattered by a guitar driven heavy metal track, followed by another brief moment of calm. This extreme contrast is at the heart of the ‘Egyperces Dalok’ experience, as nearly every track is followed by something entirely different. Arabic folk melodies sit side by side with punishing grindcore to create an entirely unique experience.

With the music world changing rapidly, only the artists who embrace new technology will be able to survive. Fortunately, Lio Mori is one of the few who have thrown themselves into this bold new era. ‘Egyperces Dalok’ marks the arrival of an artist set to make a major impact with his music. ‘Egyperces Dalok’ is available everywhere April 8, 2022.

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
