MEMORYSOFT 'SOFTWARE'
Released: March 2022
Limited edition cassette of 20 dubbed tapes in clear case with printed J-Card.
'SOFTWARE' Is an exploration of sonic textures utilising the Make Noise System concrete, a eurorack synthesizer which emphasises sample manipulation and features the phonogene, which reimagines the open reel tape recorder as a modular low fidelity loop sampler. Each track of the record takes a single sample of no more the a half dozen seconds and repurposes the source material into expanded sonic landscapes.
All of the tracks were recorded directly to a stereo cassette tape and are either single takes or unedited segments taken from long form recording sessions. Recorder over a roughly 9 month period between July 2021 and February 2022. The outcome is the result of a concentrated emphasis on patch programmed processes and exploration of niche, self contained, small scale synthesizer systems.
