:: New Release - "Macro"


Macro
Macro

Introducing Macro from Altus.  A series of 22 short tracks covering a broad range of sounds, from melodic ambient to atonal soundscapes, and a few oddities inbetween.

The story behind this release is while I work on new music, I usually start noodling with different sounds.  I end up getting carried away and while the music is good, it's not appropriate to the project I'm working on.  These tracks allow you to hear some of the things I end up coming up with.

Keep in mind that these aren't simply raw ideas.  I've expanded on the initial sound or idea and polished it up for a enjoyable listening experience.

Given that each track is it's own entity (a rare thing with my work), there's no wrong way to play this album.  Pick and choose your favourite tracks, or simply randomize the track listing for a slightly different listen every time.  Have fun with it, that's the idea.

I hope you enjoy hearing some of these "behind the scenes" sounds I'm sharing with you.

Yay! Can't wait to hear it. I'm sure I'll be playing some on Free Floating this week.

I played the album in its entirety on StillStream this evening. Made a special raid just to do so. Definitely some new directions and ideas for you (as well as some familiar sounds). Excellent as always!!!

Now is that last Onaip V treated piano?

Awesome Brad. Thanks for playing it, much appreciated.

Yes, all the Onaip tracks contain piano in some form. Part 5 has two treated pianos, one with bamboo and the other with screws and bolts.
