"A collection of new pieces that range across media and genres, mostly exploring prime numbers and the overtone series and featuring various guitars, a grand piano (played and remote-controlled), a quiet drum station, tube bells, assorted percussion, an amplified wire with an Echoplex, a modular synthesizer system -- and Moog, Roland, Korg and Smith synths. Also featuring bassoon, five-string bass and drums on various tracks. There are tuneful polyrhythmic compositions, timbre-based works, atmospheric meditations, film-music and some exquisite manipulations of sound. This is Steve's ninth CD on ReR Megacorp and in some ways usefully bridges the wide variety of styles and media that have marked his compositions to date. Meticulously produced and mastered. A retired Professor in the Electronic Production and Design Dept at Berklee College of Music, Steve MacLean is a guitarist, composer, producer, and engineer, he has been evolving with music technology since the early '80s, when he worked in a New York City recording studio and had hands-on with early versions of the Fairlight CMI, DX-7, Linn Drum, mixing consoles and digital audio samplers. Later, he founded his own recording and production studio and produced/engineered hundreds of artists and numerous award- winning projects including scores for over two hundred commercials and soundtracks as well as a constant artistic output of his own works. An active performer and composer for over 35 years, including numerous concerts with Roswell Rudd, Chris Cutler, MeRCy, Steve MacLean Ensemble and a host of Boston-based improvisers, Steve was co-founder of the Portland Experimental Music Collective, has performed original compositions at numerous new music festivals, including several pieces for New Music Across America and similar events. An innovator in the new music circuit, he was curator for a series of concerts '2001 New Music Odyssey,' and continues to release recordings internationally on ReR Megacorp and others."
