about

Following Soft Power, released on Audiobulb in 2021, this new album by Memory Scale once again immerses us in micro-worlds filled with sonic textures and melodies. These finely crafted compositions are imbued with positive melancholy, like soundtracks of life's moments. Synthesizers and organic keyboards, processed recordings, mutant guitars, and occasionally the appearance of live drums affirming his love for krautrock and the explorers of '70s psychedelic rock. Many elements and influences that Memory Scale blends and strives to organize the sonic space in order to add its personal patina.

"This album is a continuation of the previous one, in the sense that the composition methods are similar. It also represents the quest for music that tends to be listened to semi-consciously, neither too overwhelming nor too easy. That famous "drift" mentioned in the title. In the end, these are very personal songs that I hope everyone will be able to appropriate and feel in their own way." - Memory Scale

Memory Scale, whose real name is Arnaud Castagné, is a French musician living in Bordeaux, specializing in melodic and cinematographic ambient/electronic compositions.

Inspired by artists such as ambient pioneer Brian Eno, the 90s ambient scene, IDM, electronica and Krautrock, as well as the sounds of artists such as The Durutti Column, Dieter Moebius, Seefeel, Boards of Canada or even Tortoise (among others), Memory Scale knew how to merge these varied influences to create a recognizable style.

Memory Scale tracks transport the listener into haunting soundscapes, evoking cinematic images and deep emotions. Delicate melodies blend seamlessly with atmospheric textures, creating an immersive auditory experience.

Composed & recorded by Arnaud Castagné / Memory Scale at Splank Studio, Bordeaux, France.

Drums on Freefall by Stefan Ehrenberg. Photography by Dimitri Bellemer, Fukuoka, 2007. Typo by Xavier Jacono / Dada.

Drifting through the early 2023 void; staring at the rather uninspiring grey skies behind my screen, the formless, comforting ambient clouds seeping through my speakers from the new Russ Young LP on Audiobulb are the perfect adjunct to this limbo state, as I unhurriedly sharpen my pencil, contemplate the to do list & enjoy the calm before the storm.
