Alms Electronica is music from the heart of a NZ “studio based” team creating electronica music with a conscience.
"NEW ZEALAND STORIES"
The first album “New Zealand Stories” is composed, solely performed (all instruments) and produced by Glyn MacLean with co production and conceptual input by Yulia MacLean.
The music of “New Zealand Stories” endeavors to communicate inspirational “musical stories. Soundscapes that inspire progressive thinking around issues such as carbon credits reduction, ecological and environmental concerns and Humanitarian causes.
Alms Electronica aims to create "music with a conscience" inspiring listeners to contemplate investment in a sustainable future for all of humanity. The music also serves to promote and export the values and beauty of New Zealand.
The track “Perfume for Arabia” promotes cultural diversity and integration.“Peruvia” promotes developing the growth of self esteem of the common people, who long outlived the aspirations of a succession of empires. “Awaken” has already been licensed by several audio production houses in USA for use as a TV & Film soundtrack and attempts to inspire empathy for the plight of NZ’s Hectors dolphin. “Evaporate” is suggestive of the demise of oil based fuels and the need for fresh air fuels.
The word ALMS conveys the meaning of "sharing the abundance and overflow that one has with others who are needy as a matter of duty."
The word was used centuries ago to describe "gifts" bestowed upon the poor in societies in which those with abundance were required to share surplusses with those in need. ALMS were a fruit of a concern for the practical well being and welfare of others.
In the musical context; the word ALMS is given the meaning "sharing of the music which stems forth from the the abundance of the composers imagination as a gift of enrichment and empowerment for the listeners inspiration."
Please remember all those who serve or have served our country in the military and alll EMS services! They may have to be without family for Christmas or have family in Heaven after having given their all for us!
