Max Loderbauer's career in music spans at least three decades. The mind voyager is back with 'Petrichor', making yet another rare and treasurable solo appearance. The album distills the elements of Loderbauer's work that are fundamental to the initiation of the label. With his Buchla, modular synth, and Haken fingerboard, Loderbauer's improvised studio maneuvers dilate into imagined journeys from glacial peaks into the exosphere. This is Max at his most exhilarating state, morphing through bittersweet and optimistic soundscapes to bleak moments of throbbing unease - all while maintaining a sense of grace and elegance.
