Биография

Angel Marcloid’s recordings as Nonlocal Forecast focus the trajectory of a vast and diverse catalog squarely in the realm of retro Weather Channel-inspired smooth jazz fusion, intricate prog, and expansive new age experiments. Trading off a measure of the typically overloaded compositional style found in other projects to favor lush atmospheres and relatively pared down instrumental arrangements, Marcloid populates Nonlocal Forecast pieces with progressive keyboard and synth harmonies, complex drum programming, and majestic leads performed on electric guitar, keyboards, and guests’ saxophones. The project runs concurrently alongside the omni-combinatory works of the flagship project Fire-Toolz and a host of other monikers including the vapor-focused works of Mindspring Memories. Holographic Universe(s?)!, the second Nonlocal Forecast full-length and the first to be released on vinyl, follows Bubble Universe! (HAUSMO84, 2019) with a cycle of songs that elevates Marcloid’s grandiose compositional impulses to previously undiscovered heights, while packing the music with dramatic narrative shifts that allow it to journey off into dynamic new directions.
