verdemener one of BEST albums listened for me in 2023. The magic of a forest. Petrichor is the name for the first smell of the rain after a period of dry weather. Absolutely amazing. Masterpiece. Favorite track: Grosser Bär.

marchivemind Absolutely loving this release. Really rich, lush analogue sound and a wonderful sense of melody combine for great deep listening.
The vinyl sounds great and the art and design is wonderful.

holobiont Melancholic and beguiling. Rich sonic palette that at times evokes early silent films and at other times an abstract biophilia.

C.J. Davis While you’re at it you might as well get Mux - love it! They are both quite special. I’m shocked they are still available. Thx Maxi, Julian, and Marionette.

about

Max Loderbauer’s career in music spans the last 3 decades, yet he’s still managed to keep his listeners hungry by releasing only 3 solo albums to date. Two of those releases (Transparenz, 2013 and Donnerwetter, 2020) were on Tobias Freund’s label Non Standard Productions - his long time collaborator and Templehof studio mate. In between those releases, Loderbauer graced Marionette with Greyland in 2016, revealing a previously unheard youthful and sentimental side. Now in 2022, the seasoned mind voyager is back with Petrichor, making yet another rare and treasurable solo appearance.

Petrichor 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 Maxi 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. Petrichor is a reflection of Loderbauer’s impactful trips to the mountains, and returning from these summits with an electrifying urge to paint this mighty perspective. The harmonies and melodies on the tracks simulate emotional peaks and valleys, with vibration and rhythm rooted in the foundation of the sound, as though it's woven into the fabric of the fauna and flora.

Legendary collaborations like Vilod (with Ricardo Villalobos), the Moritz Von Oswald Trio, Non Standard Institute, Sun Electric in the early nineties, and the newly formed Ambiq ensemble have gained this unique artist the respect of the underground and avant garde scenes alike.
