About Dream of Heat
Ambiances magnétiques, 2025
Toninato & Thiessen
Although they maintain the acoustic warmth of their previous work, they expand their sound generously with overdubs and electronic treatments, constructing a vivid and brooding landscape that takes winter’s cycle of death and rebirth as its core.

Ce «Winterreise» post urbain qui rencontre Blade Runner est superbe, très actuel, minimaliste et cinématographique. L’espoir est de mise en fin de parcours avec la plage Change, d’où la lumière émerge.

About Homeostasis
Inner Seas Label, 2025
Ida Toninato & Pierre-Luc Lecours
De longs arpèges au synthé modulaire (Lecours) et les figures obsessives au saxo (Toninato) dessinent une trame quasi psychédélique, mais informée de toute évidence par une qualité structurelle et narrative associée à la musique savante (classique).

About We Become Giants
Dragon's eye Recordings [DEC 0631], 2020
Solo album
"The album is a marvel of technique and emotion, of patience and careful post-production, combining long near-silences with beautiful and terrifying reverberant tones that multiply in fractal form, each detail as rich and intense as its source. It celebrates the grandness of sound in space, but occasionally, as with the tiny voice that whispers amidst the rumble at the beginning of "Pour Retourner Au Silence," it underlines our tiny place in that universe."
"And yet, for all its use of silence, this album of drawn-out compositions is nothing if not a towering work of momentous gravity, and sublime vastness."
"The overall feel is cinematic and ominous, with some similarities to the soundtrack for the movie Arrival by Jóhann Jóhannsson."

« Ida Toninato : arme de construction massive.
L’écoute de l’auditeur se contorsionne autour de ce fin tissu pour en admirer les différents plis, et ce spectre lumineux se déploie si lentement dans l’espace qu’on le regarde passer et voler au loin avant de s’éteindre dans le silence obscur."
Par Pierre-Luc Sénécal, paru dans le Voir, 15 avril 2016
"I imagine Toninato listening to the sound draining from the walls, like someone throwing a stone into a river and then quietly examining the intricacies of the splash. It’s a beautiful process of call and cryptic response."
In ATTN:MAGAZINE, May 30, 2016
"A Baritone Saxophone player with an ear for the avant garde, Toninato has put together something really beautiful that grabs your attention from the beginning and truly transports its observer to another dimension. Minimalism is the root of it all but Toninato’s music just has a presence about it. Really powerful stuff."
