- September 2008 release on Clean Feed Records



This recording is a document of the live concert Memorize the Sky gave at the 2007 Ulrichsberger Kaleidophon. These five tracks mark the continued evolution of the Memorize the Sky's focused and patient music from their first studio release. At the same time, these recordings reveal an untethered energy and the tremendous range of dynamics and textures that are a hallmark of their live sets.


memorize the sky - May 2007 release on 482 Music



This first studio document of MTS’s decade-long collaboration captures the sound that defines their live sets: meticulously shaped textures, hovering or gradually unfolding. The eight improvisations presented here come from over six hours of material recorded in a barn in upstate New York in the fall of 2005. Purely textural bricks of sound are juxtaposed with lyrical melody-driven meditations. Longer musical forms reveal their complexity slowly, while shorter tracks become studies in texture, orchestration and register. The music is improvised, sometimes based on a simple plan. Extended instrumental techniques give the acoustic sounds a depth closer to electronic music. Yet, these recordings are equally defined by unaffected musical notes placed in the context of sonic textures. Memorize the Sky is a balance of open forms and structured investigations, noises and notes.
