The
production seem to be very careful, it sounds excellent and the created
flux really wraps you and involves any hearer. To sum up, an impressive
work up to the greatest. Ran Kirlian |

Indalo
is an easy recommendation to fans of this subgenre (darker drone ambient
music) unless the person is so averse to some tribal elements (which
are few and far between) that even a hint of their presence would
ruin the experience for them. While the CD can be a tad monochromatic
at times, as long as you don't expect it to startle you or invigorate
you, you'll be thoroughly satisfied with this album. Bill Binkelman.Wind

Indifferent
to the pass of time, drawn on a sheltered rock face in the Sierra
Maria-Los Velez mountains in the north of Almeria province, appears
one of the most famous logos of Spain, designed by an anonymous artist
5000 years ago. The anthropomorphous figure has the open arms and
maintains up an arc. It impress us their almost magic appearance,
perhaps carrying the rainbow like promise of rain and wealth, to welcome
to us with its hospitality or, simply, its author only wanted to warn
us with this mark of which she was the tribe to whom it belonged.
The symbol appears in other places of the east of Andalusia. Thanks
to the initiative of an artistic movement of avanguard in the years
60, was adopted like symbol of all the province
of Almeria and baptized like Indalo

Named
after the old and mysterious Andalusian symbol that still can be find
in Spain nowadays, is the 1st collaboration between Bruno Sanfilippo
and Max Corbacho.
Their
contact and friendship came out mutual interest and fascination for
music and its interpretation. For this very special release -believe
me- both gentlemen travelled to the south of Spain, to the silent
super Natural park of Gabo de Gata in Almeria.
They collected images and reflections about how this place was felt..
well i can tell that these
fantastic sensations do come through on Indalo.On the opening piece,
we descend right away into the deep organic spaces of the title track
Indalo. Strange far-away noises are rising up slowly to a kind of
swirling windy ancient echoes, erosions that created the landscape
as it is now today. A beautiful slow-motion synth expands, glows and
breathes again. It feels like watching how the early sunlight strikes
the soft shaded, dawn fresh landscape around us. Birdcalls seem to
come from hidden canyon caves, released into the bright morning sunlight.
This is just gorgeous. Subtle percussions together with an elastic
soft pulsing bass give
this piece a remarkable calming effect. Everything here sounds so
fresh, just like an early breeze in summer. Insects are heard softly
everywhere together with mesmerizing kind of plugging female-like
voices, that makes us feel just so comfortable. On the 2nd piece we
step into an organic pace, while we hear some distant thunder and
undefinable creatures, everything seems to be safe. The beautiful
synthlayers makes this space one to return to, now we still can..
Like the next title already suggests 'Lava Atmospheres' we descend
now further into the deep cavernous spaces.. you can feel the reverberations
coming out the blackest spaces inside earth. Deep horn-like sounds
are rising up from inner earth with growing spiralling echoes hidden
in those realms that makes us feel so small but at the same time so
curious to the unknown greatness inside, like falling into the bottomless
of existence.
The spaces find here, have almost a ritual feeling; dark but fascinating
and utterly beautiful.
On the 5th piece the dark spaces take place for a quiet walk under
a full moon in Gabo Gata, where one can have an 'A Lucid Dream of
Strange Landscapes'. I really like this piece, an impression of a
moonlit landscape, perfectly translated into sound and mood.
The sound of 'Petrified Wisdom' is so spacious and vast here, it has
a cosmic feeling, floating somewhere between earth & sky with
intriging rolling acoustic sounds and indulating synthlayers that
seem to go on forever, pulling you in some kind of vacuum space..
On the final piece, everything seems to melt together to one big sonic,
moving soundpalette, clearly the most sensual piece on the CD.
Max and Bruno have the full grasp here.Everything what is felt and
heard on their excursion, is lying in here, a marvelous piece of work.
This piece ends where the cd begins, actually where it all began once.With
this exceptional and impressive release, knowing that this is only
the 1st collab between these gentlemans, it's clear that they made
a magic duo and are masters of the genre. I find this album one to
return to over and over again, catching up new glimpses.. from these
intoxicating and captivating spaces.
I'm very anxious what Max & Bruno can bring us more in the future.
Definitely one to watch for. |
