WHAT WE SAY

As the clouds start to darken the northern Portuguese skies & prepare to soak the land, this somewhat melancholic ambient EP from never forget you're a terrifying freak for Sapio Arts will sound just right as I look out the window and lose myself in solitary thoughts.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY

I recorded and produced On Memory over a few weeks in the middle of a Norwegian Winter. I wanted make music for moments of quiet isolation - those moments when we sit by ourselves and let thoughts turn to moments in the past. I think the sound brings with it a feeling of nostalgia. Music is really great at transporting us, giving us the feeling of the past. Sometime this feeling can be for some place or time that never existed. 

The artwork is taken from the Norwegian photographer Anders Beer Wilse, who lived and worked up until the 1940’s. The image of the seagull (måke) on night sky is a photographic slide that is hand coloured — a process that became obsolete with colour photography. I was drawn to the picture because of the colours and sparsness of the image. Fittingly for the EP hand colouring slides like this is style of art that has been lost to time. 

After releasing the first two singles, Faded Afternoon Heat and We Are See Through, "On Memory" has three new tracks. It's music for quiet contemplation, to put on in the background while you're sitting alone. Be transported to places of hazy nostalgia, lost memories and forgotten pasts.
