Mere words cannot describe the excitement with which we welcome our latest addition to AtmoWorks, Max Corbacho. For many of us here, Max's music has been an integral part of our ambient rotation for many years. His albums move like glaciers, pulse like a beating heart and have been among some the most consistently excellent music in the genre. His latest album, "Ars Lucis" is no exception, and we are thrilled to offer it here in digital format for the first time.

From the artists' website:

"Like a weightless dream, the main theme is exposed in Light-Matrix Portal, where a gentle swirl of chords leads us, as a Gothic doorway, into a magnificent space. The main theme remains on all the pieces in a subtle way, spreading mystical, delicate scents through labyrinthine passages ascending and spiraling to the vaults. Max presents the album’s flow through different sonic zones sequentially, as if we proceed on a walking meditation through a 13th century cathedral."

To consider "Ars Lucis" as merely a sequence of songs is to do it a great injustice. This is one of those rare albums where the whole is so much more than the sum of its parts. Each song is a chapter in an 80-minute story that transports the listener through the spiritual awakening that often accompanies the great holy places of the world. Max's fine touch and deep affinity for progression and variation are on display at the highest level. Simply put, "Ars Lucis" sings.

This digital release contains an added bonus track, "Beyond Vaults" which could not be included in the CD release last year due to time constraints. Max Corbacho and AtmoWorks are proud to offer this extended edition of "Ars Lucis" to the general public for the first time.

We here at AtmoWorks couldn't be more thrilled to have Max join our family of artists, and we look forward to many years of wondrous music to come.
