"This first studio document of MTS’s decade-long collaboration captures the sound that defines their live sets: meticulously shaped textures, hovering or gradually unfolding. The eight improvisations presented here come from over six hours of material recorded in a barn in upstate New York in the fall of 2005. Purely textural bricks of sound are juxtaposed with lyrical melody-driven meditations. Longer musical forms reveal their complexity slowly, while shorter tracks become studies in texture, orchestration and register. The music is improvised, sometimes based on a simple plan. Extended instrumental techniques give the acoustic sounds a depth closer to electronic music. Yet, these recordings are equally defined by unaffected musical notes placed in the context of sonic textures. Memorize the Sky is a balance of open forms and structured investigations, noises and notes."
