Indalo Max Corbacho & Bruno Sanfilippo
	"INDALO is the first collaboration work between both artists, inspired by a join trip to the South of Spain. The whole CD represents an exploratory excursion to atmospheric ambient textures of a dark and dreamy beauty, a deep kind of ritual echoes. Structurally this CD presents seven soundscapes, carefully placed, starting with some rythmic movements, from the walking groove of "Indalo", driving the listener over the atmospheric synth lines, to the more relaxed and introspective realms of the following tracks. The textures are made based on a mix of field recordings, computer manipulated samples and spontaneously created tracks on synths and samplers. Strange far-away noises, swirling windy ancient echoes, subtle percussions, distant acoustic sounds and undulating synthlayers conform this work, all selected and presented in a deep, full of emotion, organic experience." "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".

"Indifferent to the pass of time, drawn on a sheltered rock face in the Sierra Maria-Los Velez mountains in the north of Almeria province, appears one of the most famous logos of Spain, designed by an anonymous artist 5000 years ago. The anthropomorphous figure has the open arms and maintains up an arc. It impress us their almost magic appearance, perhaps carrying the rainbow like promise of rain and wealth, to welcome to us with its hospitality or, simply, its author only wanted to warn us with this mark of which she was the tribe to whom it belonged. The symbol appears in other places of the east of Andalusia. Thanks to the initiative of an artistic movement of avanguard in the years 60, was adopted like symbol of all the province of Almeria and baptized like "Indalo".

"Indalo, named after the old and mysterious Andalusian symbol that still can be find in Spain nowadays, is the 1st collaboration between Bruno Sanfilippo and Max Corbacho. Their contact and friendship came out mutual interest and fascination for music and its interpretation. For this very special release -believe me- both gentlemen travelled to the south of Spain, to the silent super Natural park of Gabo de Gata in Almeria. They collected images and reflections about how this place was felt.. well i can tell that these fantastic sensations do come through on Indalo.

On the opening piece, we descend right away into the deep organic spaces of the title track Indalo. Strange far-away noises are rising up slowly to a kind of swirling windy ancient echoes, erosions that created the landscape as it is now today. A beautiful slow-motion synth expands, glows and breathes again. It feels like watching how the early sunlight strikes the soft shaded, dawn fresh landscape around us. Birdcalls seem to come from hidden canyon caves, released into the bright morning sunlight. This is just gorgeous. Subtle percussions together with an elastic soft pulsing bass give this piece a remarkable calming effect. Everything here sounds so fresh, just like an early breeze in summer. Insects are heard softly everywhere together with mesmerizing kind of plugging female-like voices, that makes us feel just so comfortable. On the 2nd piece we step into an organic pace, while we hear some distant thunder and undefinable creatures, everything seems to be safe. The beautiful synthlayers makes this space one to return to, now we still can.. Like the next title already suggests 'Lava Atmospheres' we descend now further into the deep cavernous spaces.. you can feel the reverberations coming out the blackest spaces inside earth. Deep horn-like sounds are rising up from inner earth with growing spiralling echoes hidden in those realms that makes us feel so small but at the same time so curious to the unknown greatness inside, like falling into the bottomless of existence. The spaces find here, have almost a ritual feeling; dark but fascinating and utterly beautiful. On the 5th piece the dark spaces take place for a quiet walk under a full moon in Gabo Gata, where one can have an 'A Lucid Dream of Strange Landscapes'. I really like this piece, an impression of a moonlit landscape, perfectly translated into sound and mood. If you like this one, you should check out Max's other upcoming release 'The Talisman'. The sound of 'Petrified Wisdom' is so spacious and vast here, it has a cosmic feeling, floating somewhere between earth & sky with intriging rolling acoustic sounds and undulating synthlayers that seem to go on forever, pulling you in some kind of vacuum space.. On the final piece, everything seems to melt together to one big sonic, moving soundpalette, clearly the most sensual piece on the cd. Max and Bruno have the full grasp here. Everything what is felt and heard on their excursion, is lying in here, a marvelous piece of work. This piece ends where the cd begins, actually where it all began once.

With this exceptional and impressive release, knowing that this is only the 1st collab between these gentleman, it's clear that they made a magic duo and are masters of the genre. I find this album one to return to over and over again, catching up new glimpses.. from these intoxicating and captivating spaces. I'm very anxious what Max & Bruno can bring us more in the future. Definitely one to watch for.
