cloudcycle is “officially” released this week by bakshish music
for those who like shopping, you can now buy our music in exclusive from only 2 specialized shops :
Cloudcycle is a bizarre experiment conceived by Greg Hunter (Dubsahara, Subsurfing, Alien Soap Opera, who also worked on some seminal albums of electronic music, amongst others with Orb, Killing Joke, Steve Levine, Matrix movie soundtrack) and mauxuam (unpredictable manouvrer who last year released his album Viceversa and has been turning knobs and tweaking sounds for over twenty years on many diverse and obscure projects).
two experienced space navigators who lost their way home, met eachother along the digital pipeline and forgot where they were heading to…and why. Master Margherita met them along the way and while trying to help them find a direction, got himself lost too…
Cloudcycle started one mad night 3 years ago and it is still morphing into new shapes…greg and maux have been shifting and drifting…working online at huge distance of time and space (greg in uk and egypt, maux in oz)…connected by the magic of wand skype….with no timeline, no deadline and no end.
Without knowing what to do and simply bored with the old music biz paradigma, they started to release this music as an audioblog on the net uploading the tracks as soon they finished them….including alternative mixes and demos and the samples to do your own remix.
Deep and heavy beats and out of nowhere melodies, slow techno and endless ambient drones….familiar with every genre without belonging to any trend, cloudcycle is a bunch of trip-a-delic dub-minimal-glitch-world-oddness, a spicy and scented delight for the senses…disappearing before you get hold of it…dissolving without trace…fractalized in micromacro syncronicities.
Richness to resonance, truth to tonality, esoteric emotions and subtle harmonies… a spontaneous outpouring from our side to the world, a musical invitation to experience and join for the pure reason of sharing.
Cloudcycle doesn’t sound loud as fuck…it’s not in your face…we praise the dynamic range…music is the silence between the sounds….pleasure relished in the unsquashed transients…we don’t fight in the loudness war.
in the moment we become so involved in the experience, we lose track of ourself, lose track of time, lose track of our identity…we become clouds.

last night i played in byron bay/nsw/au with heyoka…a small nice gig…
and i played out some of the tracks of cloudcycle for the first time
the masters sounded good…maybe nimbus is a bit aggressive (which is good)
it was also my first wireless set
i finally got a wii (just the controller) yesterday for 68 australian dollars
and using the magic osculator i hooked it to ableton…and had lots of fun with it
(tnx to kriss for raving about this)
i even gave it to some friends between the audience to play with…and they also had lots of fun
weeekeeed stuff 
soon i will post a simple tutorial about using the wii and the iphone as remote controllers for ableton (or tracktor, or whatever midi).
