Steve McDonald - Spinfield

Spinfield is the dramatic U.S. debut of New Zealand's leading electronic keyboard artist, Steve McDonald.

Bridging spacemusic and progressive rock, McDonald delivers a powerful, dynamic performance covering the full range from massive panoramas of expanded stereo sound to the subtle ambient colors of deep space environments. Experienced listeners will recognize echoes of music by Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and other luminaries from the founding generation of popular electronic space musicians, but McDonald has found his own distinctive instrumental voice and rhythmic signature, derived from ethnic and Indian musics as well as rock.

The extraordinary sonics of the digitally mixed and mastered album are due to Steve McDonald's practiced hand at his arsenal of Roland keyboards and controllers, and also to the skills of veteran producer JON MARK (ex-MARK/ALMOND BAND), now a New Zealand resident.

Spinfield looks back to the early days of the progressive instrumental genre for inspiration and forward to the 90's with a creative synthesis of electronic and world music, rendered with real passion and commitment.
