about

Mai is the alias for composer/musician Steve McCourt. Originally from Dublin and now based in Shanghai, his main focus is electronic music. He holds a PhD in composition and a Master's Degree in Music Technology.

Beta is an album of ambient music. Each track on the album was played as a live session with hardware synthesizers, a mixer and hardware effects. The output of the mixer was recorded to 1 stereo track in Logic Pro. No edits, overdubs, or effects were applied after the recording of each session, just some light mastering. Tracks 1-3 were played on just 1 synthesizer. On tracks 4-7, the part for each synthesizer was played and sequenced live with the Arturia Keystep Pro. Tracks 3-6 were improvised. On tracks 4-6, I introduced elements of chance on the sequencer after playing each part. All tracks were played in free rhythm (no beat/metronome was used)

Praedormitium

It's a wonder every moment! It's like visiting a lost city, forgotten remains just waiting to wake up to reveal their vanished beauty. Every time I listen to a Polypores record, I wonder how he manages to lose us and make us travel to the heart of his machines. Bernard Grancher

I'm so happy someone is doing this. Beautifully designed zine. Fascinating articles and writing. CD is all bangers. I look forward to the next issue. Scott Sugiuchi
