Memory by Xin

In honor of many people I have known with Alzheimer, any proceeds from this album are donated to Alzheimer's Association.

These recordings used the Make Noise Morphagene, which acts as a type of sound memory. It seems Morphagene functions similar to our human access of memory... We select small moments isolated from a larger continuous event. These selections can be fuzzy and distant at times, or playback with more clarity depending on the context of our selective focus. Sometimes the original recordings are distorted and morphed beyond recognition, and may be nothing like the original event. Morphagene and memory both do this.

All tracks recorded outdoors during 2018 at memorable places. The natural ambiance was recorded separately, while the synthesized parts were all performed using a modified Shared System, with Morphagene as the focus. Cover photo is from LaBauer Park, and was taken at MOTS Greensboro Sept 2018.

Xin is a laboratory for Ambient, Drone, and Electronic melodies.... and other sound experiments.

Most tracks are improvisations on modular synth, played by hand, with manual control of timbre, sequence, and mix.
