On Indalo (70’50»), Max Corbacho and Bruno Sanfilippo collaborate to produce a musical crosscurrent of directions and influences. This work tells of a shared spiritual imagination and of the steps each artist has taken toward enlightenment. Their detailed harmonic soundscapes portray the vast expanse of a timeless panorama. Travelers through this dark sonic landscape become part of the view – as are the composers, seen hovering around their musical themes. Elsewhere, lost within atonal washes, we peer into darkness. In these passages, the sustained ambiguity of this work converges with a profound stillness, and the strange rush of your own blood. Indalo is a ceremonial work based on the power of an inspirited place. Of all artforms, music has the unique ability to depict more than simply one moment frozen in space – and just as reality evolves over time, so does this album. It is a transportive listening experience and a fulfilling distraction to the psychological disquiet of the modern world.

«It is especially incumbent upon every spacemusician to know and understand the audience for which their music is produced. In this genre of aural impressionism and sonic expressionism it is the audience who completes each piece in the listening. On the cryptically entitled «Far Beyond TheImmobile Point», Max Corbacho invites the listener to make a personal interpretation of a tale told with contour, harmony and timbre and to gow here only music influenced contemplation can lead.Corbacho’s unfolding soundscapes tell of a «quiet point» beyond which the introspective traveller aspires to pass. At times the soundstream is a torrent of churning contrast while elsewhere it is a warm gentle wind. Whether influenced more by ocean current or desert breeze, that which is to be translated comes to us through Corbacho’s capable synth craft. Consisting of well arranged temporal pads, interestingly modulated synth accents and cavernous reverberation, the wealth and range of sound on «Far Beyond The Immobile Point» is surpassed only by the vivid translations made by open listeners.»
