Altus

Altus, the musical brainchild of Canadian composer Mike Carss, has become a revered name in the ambient music scene, renowned for crafting atmospheric soundscapes that invoke the vastness of both inner and outer realms. With an unyielding passion for the immersive power of sound, Altus has been prolific in his outputs since the early 2000s, consistently delivering introspective and often celestial auditory experiences.

The evolution of Altus's sound can be discerned through his remarkable catalog of work, with each release delving deeper into the emotive and textural possibilities of ambient music. Projects such as "Trailhead" and "Strength of Fate" showcase his skill in fusing melodic elements with expansive sonic backgrounds, creating environments ripe for reflection and exploration. Meanwhile, endeavors like the "Sleep Theory" series, including "Sleep Theory, Vol. 3" and "Sleep Theory, Vol. 4," underscore a dedication to the therapeutic aspects of music, providing listeners with a tranquil escape from the chaos of the waking world. With "Descender" and "Hidden Realms and Vacant Spaces," Altus continues to invite audiences on auditory expeditions, sculpting intricate worlds that resonate deeply with the inner psyche, reaffirming his status as a maestro of ambient sound.
