about

The Collaboration
‘Flicker’ and ‘HALO‘ came out of a collaboration between UK based ambient artists, Igneous Flame (Pete Kelly) and Achromus (Michael Stringer). In February 2007, Michael gave Pete a pool of synth based material that he had been working on and Pete produced the albums ‘Flicker’ and ‘HALO’ from that pool. The material became split into two, the more sonorous material was reworked and guitar textures were incorporated, this material became the ‘Flicker’ album. The other darker and more ‘raw’ material was extensively processed and this resulted in the ‘HALO’ album. Some of the original material has been used in both albums - albeit in a ‘Re-cycled’ manner.

‘Flicker’
The more accessible of the two releases, ‘Flicker’ is primarily tonal with an under-current of ethereal mystery and depth. Constructed from Achromus’s synth textures and Igneous Flame’s e-bow guitar lines and abstracted harmonic shapes, melodic phrases are woven around tonally shifting soundscapes. The album’s dark luminosity shines throughout.

Nocturnes II
by Max Corbacho

supported by 6 fans who also own “Flicker”

No matter if entering enthrallingly overwhelming skylines, nebulously extraterrestrial spheres, mysteriously labyrinthine inner zones, spectacularly subaqueous depths or majestically monumental architectural masterpieces, Max Corbacho always delivers the very best of his virtuosic soundcarving, a rewardingly abundant momentum of tremendously sophisticated wizardry in sculpting powerfully transporting opuses. With gem like 70-minute "Nocturnes II", but also with "Source Of Present", "Nocturnes" and most especially with recently released "Horizon Matrix" (out since November 30th, 2018), Max Corbacho is triumphantly chasing quintessential milestones such as "Ars Lucis" and "The Ocean Inside". Once again, bravo, Maestro!!! Richard Gürtler

Horizon Matrix
by Max Corbacho

supported by 6 fans who also own “Flicker”

There is a real world existing we can't experience:Look at your screen and dive deeper and deeper to the reign of molecules, atoms, electrons and quarks and void spaces. Suddenly there is nothing any more that compares to your daily experiences: there are only forces, only fields, only probabilites. There is only quantum-uncertainty: this is the place of the Quantum-Cathedrals! So near and yet so far. So real and yet only imaginary... Max gave us an sonic impression of these worlds! Evolutor

I am a spaceship drifting in the cosmos. The music Max Corbacho creates is beautiful, delicate with an expansive soundstage that draws you in deeper and deeper into the composers vision. A musical journey that never fails to leave me just wanting more. Vinyl Lover

Serene ambient music that evokes guided meditation through the use of phase-shifting melodies, droning bass, and gauzy synth textures. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 8, 2024
