High impact, over-the-top sonic grandeur meets blistering metal guitar solos in Ambrose Field’s debut electronica album Storm!. In an album having more in common with Operation Desert Storm than anything natural, excess meets understatement head-on. The raw, explosive energy of Storm! is driven by a highly original sound world: Ambrose journeyed to locations the world over to source field recordings, desolate spaces, unique personal stories, military hardware testing and urban protests.
Bizarre stories, such as the personal yet public protest of a disillusioned theme park employee mingle with stadium-sized, post-digital rock tracks created from a plethora of electronically manipulated guitars and unusual percussion.

Ambrose Field (UK) is a composer interested in pushing the boundaries of expression with musical sound. He is one of the UK’s foremost new-generation electronic music artists. His work is regularly featured at electronic music festivals, having already notched-up 4 international awards and a clutch of national radio broadcasts. He first came to attention at the 1997 Prix Ars Electronica Awards, with an Honorary Mention for pyrotechnic!, a track which reprocessed the sound of gritty military explosions into a surreal fireworks display.
