Comment:
Macroform is a musician from Sarasota, Florida, USA. He is a musician
who explores sound and experiments with a broad range of instruments
including guitars, old Casio keyboards, African drums and percussion
and found sounds and synthesizers. By listening to this huge,
19-notch outing it can be said he knows how to conjure up one's mood
and bump up neurochemicals to optimal level. Macroform has been a
prolific artist who has issued more than 40 releases during the last
12 years including 5 issues in the recent year. One may say the
amount is way too much to stay at one and the same level
artistically. An other one may say it is necessary to produce in a
row to preserve and not forget the artistic skills. In this context
the second opinion seems to be true. Of course I have not listened to
all his issues but by considering the recent one has all what a very
decent issue should provide. Stylistically it veers away from
house-tinged piano and electric piano shuffles and catchy rhythms to
serene chillwave and chilltronica-drenched glimpses and cloudless
synthesised and sampled orchestrations. Macroform knows very well how
psychologically manipulate the listener to cope with such a long
release – from speedy delivery to slowed-down ones, from raspy
facets to more floating ones. By balancing different elements with
one another it is a foundation to avoid boredom. Secondly it is like
a simulacrum for a listener's life. All in all, I am going to add it
to my list of the best albums in 2018. Hopefully I can find time to
listen to the rest of issues by him having been issued in 2018.
