macabro is an electronic music project from Latvia, founded in 2006. Born
and raised in an industrial area - in a small city best known for its chemical
factories macabro always tended to stick to Nature, in a way trying to escape from
the reality. The music reflects all of this, drawing pictures of mechanised
plants and flowers in listeners' minds, submerging them into the realm of
artificial electrical winds.
While this kind of music is, of course, strictly underground, macabro has
managed to find his audience in Latvia and neighbouring countries; he has also
played several livesets in Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus, under the wing of
latvian "elektronik noiz movement" STURM, which has
been one of the most active subculture music movements in Latvia in the last 10
years.
It all began with the ordinary singing-songwriting, but the interest in
electronic music soon took over. At first starting with harsher noisy sounds,
the music became calmer and warmer as the time went on.
macabro experiments with field recordings and guitar sounds, whilst adding lots of synthesized drones and other samples, arranging it all into
sophisticated sounding tracks with rather complex structure. Some of the newer
works might even be considered as guitar ambient, although guitar sound is
fairly modified, sometimes to an unrecognizable degree.
The latest album Envelopes draws influences from both (neo-)classical music
and modern electronic glitch-sound material.
