first solo release, the album Les Nouvelles Musiques Du Chambre for Sub Rosa came out in collaboration with This Heat's Charles Hayward. From this album, the track "Clouds" was sampled by Björk ("It's in Our Hands"), To Rococo Rot ("Die Dinge des Lebens"), Nujabes ("Latitude" and "Mystline"), The Black Eyed Peas and Post Malone ("Big Lie"). In 1991, he released the collaborative album The Wind Collector with Alessandro Monti on Marco Pandin's label Divergo (now Stella*Nera). After this release, Masin shifted his focus from music creation to raise his family and working for Poste italiane. 2001–present After nearly a decade long hiatus, Masin reappeared on the scene with the solo album Lontano (2001) and the collaborative album Moltitudine in Labirinto (2003) with Giuseppe Caprioli, both on Giovanni Antognozzi's Ants Records.

In a bid to save his past work Masin joined forces with Tiller and Tako Reyenga, heads of Dutch label Music From Memory, to release Talk to the Sea (2014), a retrospective compilation of his past work of 30 years. It is through Music From Memory that Gigi met Jonny Nash, British producer and head of the label Melody As Truth, and Marco Sterk, Amsterdam-based Dutch producer and DJ also known under his other two monikers – Marco Solo and Young Marco; as the trio Gaussian Curve the three have released their debut album Clouds (2014) and The Distance (2017), both on Music From Memory. Another successful collaboration struck in 2014, following a show in Mantua (Italy), with Luciano Ermondi and Paolo Mazzacani of the duo Tempelhof which resulted in two albums – Hoshi (2014) and Tsuki (2016) – two EP of remixes and two singles, all released on the Italian label Hell Yeah Recordings. In 2016 came Stella, with Elia Perrone, founder of the releasing Italian label Unclear, and two releases on the label 13 – Venezia, a
