Michael Bross is a composer and music producer who broke into the world of VGM when he got the job for two different Oddworld projects: Munch’s Oddysee and Stranger’s Wrath (the latter being a personal favorite of mine). On July 14th, his new solo album Subway Meditations will be released for both physical and digital distribution via Bross’ own “Deep Lever” record label.
If you’re ready for some experimental, minimalist, ambient electronica, you’ll want to read further: after the jump. (more…)
While Michael Bross’s name doesn’t come up nearly enough given that he’s busily working on his next game project over at Red 5, his fans have been fortunate that he’s been able to release his personal work on his Deep Lever record label. We’ve reviewed his Nomad EP and his soundtrack for Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath on OSV, and we’ve been looking forward to his next project.
Well here it is, and as the title’s post suggests, it’s a relaxing ambient project with a focus on the subways of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Bross has announced on his official website that Subway Meditations will be available on July 14, 2009 in a physical format from Deep Lever as well as digitally via Amazon.com, iTunes and eMusic. I highly recommend checking out his “Notes on Subway Meditations” post on the site, as it gives some background about the release and offers some thought provoking commentary on subways as a form of public transportation and a means for human migration.
Will you be looking forward to Bross’s Subway Meditations this coming July? Are you with Michael Bross in his belief that subways are not the filthy, clunky, metallic monstrosities that they are portrayed to be on television?
