Altered States

Altered States is the debut album from Australian composerand sound designer Daniel McCagh. In sharp contrast toMcCagh's commercial work for Huawei, Acura, and Volkswagen,Altered States is a detailed opening statement of experimentalaural vignettes by an artist that has clearly spent thetime to master his craft. Digitally manipulated acoustic instrumentsform the backbone for McCagh's wall-of-sound aestheticpainting pictures of bleak futures where the tracks dance, ormore aptly, shiver their way to sharp collapse. In short, McCaghmakes ambient music with teeth. A form of experimental musicwith soul, or faded formation of industrialized machine musicshrouded by layers of aural gauze, each piece emotively twistingand turning in and out of focus. Altered States is a brilliantinaugural proclamation from artist to watch.
