Maple Mountain Sunburst is the recording project of Elora, Ontario-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Andy McNeill. His first album, The Maple Mountain Sunburst Triolian Orchestra, was released in 2010 and featured guest actor Isabella Rossellini. The follow-up, Ecstatic, was released in May 2024 and offers further explorations in trippy child-like wonder. Ecstatic features the previously-released singles “Without Fear” and “Pop-a-matic” that engulf listeners into a tidal wave of electronica bliss. These tracks are accompanied by otherworldly music videos that elevate the listening experience into psychedelic dreamscapes. The visual treatments were created by celebrated motion graphic artist Henning M. Lederer (“Without Fear”) and Tel-Aviv-based illustrator Ori Toor (“Pop-a-matic”). Ecstatic was mixed and mastered for Dolby Atmos by Ron Searles at Red Maple Sound.
