THE OCEAN INSIDE – Review by Music and Happy Life

After an active day at work with three customers in three locations and a couple of kilometers by foot in the piling up slippery snow sure makes me feel sleepy towards the night. Good to have new Max Corbacho’s sonic companion playing around. With his beatless ambient soundscapes, I always manages to achieve peaceful state and clarity of mind. Relaxing and breathing into these pleasurable harmonic frequencies helps me to cope through the night with regular interruptions in the sleep and dreaming, courtesy of two small but very noisy and demanding miracles of life. I’ve been playing «Ars Lucis», «Breathstream» and «Lost Links» countless of times, over and over to the soundly sleeping audiences.

Listening to the sample-medleys alone creates a sinking feeling inside me. I’ve always loved this idea of sinking down into the ocean with ambient music. The very first examples of this musical concept in my life would be Pete Namlook’s Sequential-project with «Lost in the Sea» and same man’s later Silence-solo «Bottom of the Ocean», both from early/mid 90’s.

As the end of 2012 is approaching, the ethereal ambient bar has been set really high by the constant quality bringing talents like Max.

Let this medicine enter into your energy field and feel the bothering physical symptoms related to etherical body’s blockages disappear.

«Max Corbacho’s new release, Resonant Memory of Earth, should appeal to lovers of slow, quiet, dreamy ambience such as James Johnson’s Entering Twilight and the second disc of Steve Roach’s Dreamtime Return. Although nominally divided into four tracks, Resonant Memory is really a 73-minute opus with no breaks and few overt differences between the separate pieces.

Most of the album is composed of long, sweeping motions, too protean in form to be considered drones. Overtones from single pitches slowly divide and merge into each other, fed by occasional swaths of white noise. There are hints of melodies in Lands of Sacred Silence, and the distant promise of wildlife and morning birdsong in the beautiful long title track that closes the album, but elsewhere we hear gentle shimmering, poised halfway between sleep and waking.

The ambience is still and beatless except for a ten-minute interlude in the title track, where Corbacho introduces a simple rhythm loop of hand drums and seed rattles. Corbacho is a Spanish artist whose previous releases have been highly praised, and which focus on summer nights and nocturnal breezes. With this release, he provides a very spacious sound, layering the sonorities between both channels and with enormous reverberation that gives the listener a peaceful sense of distance.
