Max Corbacho - The Ocean Inside

The Ocean Inside is the long awaited new album of Max Corbacho presents an immersive flow of emotional soundworlds and harmonic structures that bring us to the depths of the inner ocean.
Max Corbacho returns with a new work, this time as a long awaited double album, which again immerse ourselves into touching atmospheric ambient realms of pure beauty. The Ocean Inside is a paradise of lush, cascading long chords, as oceanic waves, back and forth, in an eternal flow of shifting tones and spiraling harmonies. This is music aimed at energy, emotional and mental levels, for listeners who love deep, meditative ambient music.

With this awesome album Corbacho portrays a very personal and introspective journey divided in two parts: one in his now classical melodic and cosmic style full of beauty and dreams and the other one introducing a deeper and a bit darker scenario surrounded by massive amounts of pads and drones that takes us to the dephts of serenity, like laying in the ground of an infinite ocean. In the end, this album is just an acurated soundtrack of every human soul.


In Max words:

More than two years ago I started this project from a Eastern concept that has always been present in my work: the analogy that exists between the mind as an ocean, with constantly changing waves at the surface, and the inner stillness and silence at the depths. It is from this seed that brings me to the concept of "Oceanic", the word from which I have been developed each of the parts that make up the album. During the creation of these pieces, I tried to go as deep as I could into this bottomless ocean depths. The Ocean Inside is the record of that dive into the depths, the witness that what matters is not how deep you can go, if not the experience of that moment.

The Ocean Inside is a double album and is now available in ad21 store in 2-CD Digipack format and in Altera Orbe both FLAC and MP3 digital formats. Don't miss it!!

Mindglide - Down the Light

Spanish ambient label Altera Orbe recently released Down the Light, a gorgeous space ambient work full of nostalgic and beautiful melodies surrounded by a complex universe of synthetic sounds created by Mindglide. This is the first album by thespanish ambient artist, which was recorded back in 2007 and now remastered and rebuilt for this new digital release.

In Mindglide's words:

Down the light is my first electronic music album, a work free of all standards and prejudices, an intimate feeling converted in to the music that approaches me to the cosmos, my  primal roots. It is inspired by the contemplation of landscapes where light writes the history of the universe throughout its existence, traveling in all directions through space and time and showing us the great spectacle of creation. A landscape of infinite magnificence, where everything is part of life.
