Memory Drift, by Heavy Cloud

Memory Drift

by Heavy Cloud

supported by

Roland Pyle The appeal of this album is the experience of sliding, shifting and drifting between and across varied landscapes. The terrain is complex and fragmentary but, as Heavy Cloud says, there is a path of hope. Favorite track: Future World Sprawl.

wc_helmets Amazing work. My favourite ambient music is ambient with intention and heavy cloud here certainly tells a story that is both powerful and soft all at the same time. wonderful release Favorite track: Future World Sprawl.

Fringes of Sound More than just an ambient album. It is a statement about the intertwining of humanity and technology. An intertwining that is now irreversible and deeply affecting how we connect with one another and how we remember. Favorite track: Future World Sprawl.

about

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.

- Ryan Hooper (Heavy Cloud)

A wonderful musical collection that shows the unity of the whole world and the support of Ukraine during the long war, which will undoubtedly end with the victory of Ukraine. And now the terrible numbers... Only according to official data as of today #russiaisaterroriststate killed 510 children in Ukraine, injured another 1141 children, kidnapped 19546 children. There are many more unofficial victims. And russia remains a member of the UN... desynkro303
