Today we are here to share a pearl by one of the deepest melodic house projects, Alpas‘ ‘Tides’ and it’s creative journey. Washing up on our radar as seekers of producers such as Lane 8 and Yotto, this duo from Antwerp, Belgium stood out from the first note. Powerful, uplifting and real, the intentions behind the Gobi Desert Collective’s side project brings us down to earth and parts our clouds.

As we dive deeper into ‘Tides’ on Alpas Records we discover that Maple Sun is the electronic creation by the award winning Italian film composer: Fabio De Maddalena. Explore his films on his site but for now notice how Fabio’s compositions emerge from emotional narratives and draw inspiration from transformative experiences throughout his journey. Merging digital and symphonic elements seamlessly, he crafts soundscapes that are intricate and layered, while maintaining an authentic, natural and relatable essence.

His love for exploration has allowed him to embrace diverse traditions from across the globe, which he fluidly weaves into his musical works. These pieces embody everything Fabio stands for, featuring captured indigenous harmonies, dynamic percussion patterns, and waves of synthesizers, alongside gentle acoustic interludes and refined orchestral touches.
