After quite a quite a long hiatus, Spanish ambient composer Max Corbacho is back with double album of expertly crafted atmospheric ambient pieces, clocking over 140 minutes.

Bearing the subtitle «slow movements from the depths», Mr Corbacho takes his listeners on an epic and stellar soundscape journey with a vast range of extensive, highly immersive flows and currents.

There’s a beautiful ebb and flow shifting through the emotive and profound ethereal sound paintings, taking the listener out into the spectacular of wide open, constantly shifting spaces which lack any melody.

This uninterrupted smooth alchemy of ambient/space sound architecture connects with the massive sound worlds Mr Roach was known for many years. This accomplished Spanish musician jumped on the power trail of drift music where Steve seems to have lost quite a bit of his magic in recent years, ending each disc with a long dreamy track.

All in all, the long form and beatless «The Ocean Inside» is gently evolving, pure atmospheric bliss evoking a beautiful sense of wonder and awe. This excellently produced and mastered ascent into the deep blue depth is highly recommended.

 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.

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!!
