The Rising Moon
Thomas Ciufo
Neuma Records

Thomas Ciufo takes us on a contemplative sonic exploration of the forces of loss and beauty, darkness and light. Rooted in the ethos of ambient and electroacoustic traditions, The Rising Moon unfolds gradually as a series of immersive sonic journeys— evolving slowly over time using a combination of analog, digital, acoustic, and experimental resources. The tracks lean into eternal questions, exploring depth, resonance, tension, and release. 

Throughout its evolving emotional landscapes, The Rising Moon invites deep listening and introspection (in the manner of Ciufo’s late mentor, Pauline Oliveros), embracing the paradox that by accepting impermanence, we may find unexpected clarity, gratitude, and grace. The album is offered with compassion to everyone facing challenges, suffering and personal loss while navigating our chaotic and rapidly changing world.
