about

To portray "MemorySpace" as strictly "Berlin-School" would be limiting. It is a fresh look at Spacemusic as Chuck van Zyl carries the memory of his monumental predecessors' sense of space and mystery all the while forging a distinct authorial voice. Referencing the crystalline sequencer lines of Klaus Schulze's "Crystal Lake", the motorized pulse of Edgar Froese's "Epsilon in Malaysian Pale", warm chords and lilting melodies found on "Wunjo" by Giles Reaves, "The Polar Drones" by Erik Wollo and "Mountains" by Thom Brennan, the music on "MemorySpace" is extremely comfortable to take in - feeling as if on a long journey to several new moody electronic destinations.

The listening experience is episodic, with each of the nine tracks a distinctive aural vignette. From its driving echo patterns skipping beneath full-throated synth leads and crisp arpeggio bells amidst soft flutes, ethereal choirs and potent strings, to its somber thought tones and dark atmospherics, "MemorySpace" is a mature work - but one where a youthful exuberance may still be heard.
