 Steve is back with a truly original and unusual CD; very different from his other work – featuring, as the title proclaims, frogs and insects – recorded in the field – and guitar -, all subtly and intelligently processed (which is where the computer comes in); not to alter the sounds so much as to lock them together into complex rhythm and pitch relationships. The result sounds somehow ‘natural’ but yet spookily integrated. Then MacLean treats each track, or episode, differently, coming at them from different angles, sometimes even letting the computer add ‘its own’ percussive parts tothe mix.

STEVE MACLEAN: Bridges
These recordings collect together works spanning two decades of composition and experimentation that balance traditional musical resources (the band, compositional skills, instrumental techniques, acoustic and amplified instruments) and the new technologies (computers, software, processing). The first CD showcases polyrhythmic, careful compositions (like those on his last ReR CD, Opposite of War), which still no-one has tried to emulate. The second is more meditative, abstract and electronic, moving from Kora through electric and acoustic guitars – with and without radical effects processing – to piano and virtual orchestra, putting various softwares through their paces.DOWNLOAD WHOLE ALBUM:

STEVE MACLEAN: Opposite of War
An interesting and innovative ensemble (keyboard, bass, drums, guitar) with a chamber approach. Nothing aggressive or flashy, no electronics or noise, but carefully composed, cleanly performed pieces which play with complexity concealed inside simplicity. Outwardly simple and engaging, it holds attention through ingenious use of overlain time relations, additive rhythms and metric shifts. Subtle but very strong. Recommended.
