New From Kuwahara: BONETHRONE

Bonethrone is the fourth installment from Tennessee's experimental dark - ambient ambassadors KUWAHARA. Shifting focus towards conception vs. cataclysm they tread new ground on performance and profound accessibility, rather than evoking a space of darkness; now darkness shapes the space of this post industrial and bleak at best landscapes of mechanical and molten tectonic textures that permeate each track; one unfolding into the other, clawing their way out of an abysmal plane of introspective solitude.

New Release from M. Peck on Ethereal Live

"Ethereal Live returns with its second release with ambient electronic stalwart M.Peck and a stunning live album called “Bodies To The Sky”. M.Peck, aka Michael Peck, is well known in the ambient and electronic communities as a solo artist, as one half of the duo Mahoney & Peck, his label Waiting World Records, and for a plethora of live performances around the U.S that include The Gatherings, City Skies, Star’s End, Electro-Music, and many more.
If you have ever seen Michael Peck play live, you know the powerful force of sound this musician can create in a space. Whether it is laptop, synthesizers, Theremin, or guitar, Michael Peck has an energy that cannot be ignored. Ethereal Live has had the pleasure of seeing this musician perform many times and each performance is always an impressive and unique set of twists and turns in sound that never repeat themselves. This live set is no exception.
Originally recorded live on Stillstream.com on January 30, 2010, “Bodies To The Sky” is a sweeping romp through several sub-genres of ethereal music. Listeners will find a grand mixture of light floating ambient drifts that sink into pools of darkness only to spill over into a multi-dimensional plateau of deep space sounds and then do it all over again. “Bodies To The Sky” stores it’s brilliance in its subtleties and fans of all genres of ambient music will find something quite worthy of their time.
Performed, Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by M.Peck at Audio Propulsion Labs in June of 2011. The amazing artwork for this album is by Frank Pacini. Ethereal Live is very proud to release M.Peck “Bodies To The Sky” as a free Creative Commons download for all to enjoy."

New Release from MAGGOTAPPLEWONDERLAND

This four track, 20+ minute slab of depressive audio poetics will finally rear it's head by months end. Muted in a Perfect Black continues to show the exploration in sound and composition. As the title indicates, this EP is dark, and painfully depressive. It is MAW for Christ's sake, what else would you expect?

ECHOTOMB Free Net Release

From deep within the Appalachia, resident beatmeister ECHOTOMB (M. Peck) is set to release his
forthcoming full length “Error to the Throne” which if you’ve kept up is the follow up to his 2010
EP “LID”. More than just a heaping offering of beat madness, this album explores the depths of timbre and
tonality while staying accessible and experimental at the same time coupled with Zappaesque melody
lines and playfulness.
Clocking in at just under an hour, this album reveals the endless boundaries of Peck’s sonic palette, and
is easily his best "beat" work to date. One can still see Peck giving a proper nod to his peers but also separating himself to a level and realm all his own, and taking the jive higher and higher.

This is a Free Net Release (donations are gladly accepted at mpeckmusic (at) gmail dot com. Go to http://soundcloud.com/echotomb and download the set today!
