release notes
............,
When you think of Seattle, what do you see? No doubt it revolves
around Grunge, rain or Frasier... Well prepare to have your cultural
preconceptions realigned by the stunning new album 'Daydreaming' from
Seattle's Rafael Anton Irisarri - wherein piano and electronics come
together in an utterly delicious union, leaving you somewhere between
transfixed and emotionally adrift. Whilst the notion of another
record combining modern production with a set of ivories may seem
something of a cliche, Rafael Anton Irisarri ensures any such
misgivings are dispensed with soon after you hit play - with
'Daydreaming' coaxing a set of emotions so vivid from its stripped
palate that you'll have to pinch yourself... Opening through 'Waking
Expectations', the listener is greeted by a bloom of synths that
spreads like paint in water; enveloping the senses and encouraging
the ear to delve ever deeper to uncover the piquant piano. In no way
superfluous or tacked on for classical recognition, Irisarri seems to
have written this record speficially to showcase the haunting nature
of the piano - using the electronically creased production style to
further highlight its beauty and poignant impact. Melancholic in that
way which avoids a frown, Irisarri easily slips into the company of
Deaf Center or Goldmund - bringing a snowfall of accruing elements to
bear on a record which welcomes you into its warm and inclusive arms
with both grace and genuine style. Theatrical and frosted, 'A
Thousand Yard Stare' and 'Wither' glide into your subconscious and
refuse to relent - casting out pink-hued soundscapes and filigree
melodies that allow the piano to shimmer and evolve. Rich and creamy,
'Lumberton' (a real highlight) nods to Lynch with its stripped
canvas, whilst the eroded grace and gaseous closing of 'A Glimpse' is
a fitting epilogue to a stunning tale. Utterly beautiful - and then
some...

information and greetings
........................,
MAEM is dedicated to the promotion of interesting electronic music, old
and new. Unlike most groups, we will not target individual sub-genres
within the electronic field. Quite simply, if we like the sound, we will
release it. This includes (but is by no means limited to) : techno, idm,
italo disco, electro, acid, ambient, downtempo, and house.
MAEM has years of ripping experience, and we will ensure we meet or
exceed the quality which is expected within the scene.
Finally, MAEM genuinely cares about the music we release. It may seem
somewhat cliche, but we buy ALL of the records we release, and if you
enjoy this mp3 sample, then do the right thing and buy a copy for
yourself. Good artists and record labels deserve your support!
Greetings to BEX, BOSS, BCC, CMC, DH, Disc0, DPS, EMP, FWYH, I8, JUST,
KW, PSYCZ, SOUP, SOUR, TR, UKI, and all MAEM affiliate sites. Thank you!
