Muted In A Perfect Black Now Available

The third installment from MAGGOTAPPLEWONDERLAND continues in all it's malignant glory that first garnered them attention six years ago with their debut "Six Hits of Sunshine... and the Bruises To Show." Be assured that they have not abandoned their trademark dissonance or melancholic passages in trade for whatever is currently in fashion. Instead, 'Muted in a Perfect Black" could quite be their most accessible offering to date. MAW continue to embrace juxtaposed frequencies with morose melody and frantic sound design, creating an unsettling, often trance-like state. Lye down, kill the lights and unravel. This is a toast to the malign.

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 M. Peck-Beneath Forever

"Peck covers a large swath of ground in this release. Some pieces are bold and direct, standing up proudly and demanding the listener's immediate attention. Others drift lazily along through strange new sound worlds, enticing the listener to melt into the music and setting the imagination free. Others vibrate and coalesce with delightfully interacting pulses of electronica and percussion, never quite falling into the world of Berlin school, always charting a fresh course. Still others simmer darkly, crackling with a barely restrained energy lurking just below the surface. Truly something for everyone here."

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?
