....Galliano finishes off An Ethereal Landscape with one last dose of serious musicianship & stellar sound…you gotta hand it to this man…he certainly knows how to put a full album together in a way that gives you plenty to contemplate & consider while you’re being entertained. All-in-all, he’s got a really great record here.

....I’m almost caught off guard, and the intense presence of each one makes me desperate to pay attention to EVERYTHING at once.......
It’s a bit overwhelming, but at the same time feels like a world unto itself, a step into Sommavilla’s own version of Oz, where everything is unfamiliar, new, and entrancing.

Silky smooth production. Wildly chill. A relaxing step back. A deep breath in. A relaxing breath out. Galliano Sommavilla’s album—the one part electronic, one part chill, one part world—An Ethereal Landscape offers another side of this man’s ability to create respite through his music.

....Sommavilla blends together organic and electronic sounds along with touching upon traditional, modern, and new age genres to craft a wholly unique sound. Everything flows naturally into one another; a synthesizer can open up to emotive guitars and vocal-esque arrangement. All in all, this first song will keep fans firmly planted on the edges of their seats for the entirety of its run time.....
