New CD released on ReR "Expressions On Piano" 

"Steve's fourth CD for us is a remarkable set of pieces for mediated
acoustic piano that operates in the shadowy territory between what is
playable and what is programmable; between narrative simplicity and
performative complexity; between hopeful intentionality and flawless
execution. Unusually, Steve has put our ear right inside the piano, 
sans artificial reverberations and blurring tools and, over the course
of the CD, various musical dialects are explored and extended - from
the plausible through the exquisite to the impossible. MacLean also
mines a subtle complexity that offers more on each audition and,
occasionally, an extreme (of Nancarrowistic speed or sound amplified
through gongs). The process remains impenetrable, so what remains is
the listening. In Steve's long and varied musical career he has
consistently explored new compositional techniques and new technologies
(he teaches at Berklee in Boston) and this is no exception; a unique
take on the acoustic piano."
