Memory Scale - And All Things Begin To Drift

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.

And All Things Begin To Drift

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
