About this release:“But I know the world is still a beautiful place.”
The creation of Memory Drift became a process of reflection inspired by the re-memory and recital of personal experiences spanning several years. The earliest elements were originally recorded in 2013, while ‘Will Our Hearts Burn Forever?’ was created during lockdown and completed during autumn 2020 - finding both myself, and the world, in a very different place.
The album shifts between ambient textures, text to speech sound collage, field recordings and long-form drone, echoing the drifting nature of memory recall. These memory fragments evoke a nostalgia for the recent past and reveal how - despite a constant state of flux - hope still guides us like clouds drifting across sky.
