There’s something incredibly ethereal about this album. Max Corbacho is brilliant at evoking reverence, space and a feeling of… well… the cosmos. Much of his work seems, bright, icy & celestial. Ars Lucis has a vast sense of space within it. Inspired by cathedrals and the way light pours in through coloured windows, Corbacho spaces … Leer más
Always primal, universal, and profound! Max Corbacho creates a wall of sonorous sound, that transports the ‘listerner’ through aural corridors, where ease abides, and no mythical ‘Minotaur’ lurks within the corridors to crash the party. Corbacho’s lastest effort is simply entitled: «Splendid Labyrinths» it delivers on all fronts, as one would expect from a an … Leer más
Em 2012, Max lançava «The Ocean Inside» (ouça aqui), que iria se tornar meu companheiro desde então até os dias de hoje. Nele, o atravessamento percorre com excelência a simbiose entre som e visão; as sonoridades verdadeiramente criavam imagens. Era um «exame» do oceano interno que as pessoas carregam; como ele é afetado pelas interferências … Leer más
El nuevo trabajo de Max Corbacho es uno de esos discos que van desplegándose a medida que los vuelves a escuchar una y otra vez, revelando su profundidad poco a poco, de manera que un buen día te encuentras sumergido en sus paisajes sonoros con una sensación difícil de definir, como si las piezas empezaran a encajar, … Leer más
Per la prima volta fuori dal catalogo della sua ad21 – etichetta condivisa con Bruno Sanfilippo– Max Corbacho torna ad incidere un disco a ben tre anni dal capolavoro “The Ocean Inside”. Un lavoro che segna un cambio di prospettiva di una certa importanza nella carriera dell’artista spagnolo, forse il più abile e talentuoso fra gli esponenti dell’ultima … Leer más
Since the release of his debut album Vestiges in 1998, Max Corbacho has worked towards progressively refining an electronic music style that’s been described as ‘Ambient Atmospheric – Space Music.’ That he has close ties to Bruno Sanfilippo, with whom he established the ad21 label and collaborated on two albums (2003’s Indalo, 2012’s Bioma), also says much about the … Leer más
It is often the case that artists who are the most well-known or who have been around a genre of music the longest are the ones that everyone wants to review and I will be the first to admit that time sometimes constrains me as what I can listen to and review for Ambient Visions. … Leer más
It’s been nearly two and a half years since Max Corbacho released his last album, The Ocean Inside, which was an epic two and a half hour journey through monumental soundscapes and gorgeous atmospheres, the entire album an ambient masterpiece, concluding with the hauntingly beautiful Deeper Into the Ocean, a song I wished would never … Leer más
STYLE Vast beatless zones and undulating velvet expanses: Splendid Labyrinths is an album of ambient immensity and immeasurable time. Max Corbacho’s latest release features heaving multi-layered drones that seem to drift in and out of focus and intensity like slow-motion sunlight filtering through gracefully moving storm clouds. These opulent sonic textures are of impressive fathomless … Leer más
L’ambient music odierna si compone di un grosso ventaglio di scelte: generi e sottogeneri in forma multipla, intersezioni con l’attualità digitale e rappresentazioni con sfumature umorali, hanno prodotto un ampio raggio d’azione che, in verità, non è più controllabile all’occhio critico. Si è compiuto un processo di consolidamento, in cui l’iniziale e crescente audience di … Leer más
