memorysound 'Fading Bright' [CS]

Professionally duplicated cassette tape with printed shell, and double-sided J-card with two additional panels. Limited to 50 copies.

Fading Bright, the sophomore album by Nathan Strong a.k.a memorysound, is an experimental ambient journey through hazy, nostalgic soundscapes. Recorded with analogue synthesizers, a compact Eurorack system, piano, and found sounds, the record is shaped as much by texture as by melody, embracing the dusty imperfections of analogue electronics, lo-fi digital effects, and gentle tape warbles. Blissed-out drones dissolve into playful, hypnotic motifs, giving way to moments of sombre reflection. A collection of intimate yet expansive sonic vignettes, Fading Bright lingers like a warm memory, glowing bright even as it fades with time.
