  • Improvised music 
  • Fusion 
  • Jazz 
  • Post-rock

Comment: this patch of 5 tracks is composed and arranged by a guy known behind nom de plume Memorymusic – keyboards, production; Ujstin Echno – electronics, album artwork; and Tommy Carroll – drum set being released on Pan Y Rosas Discos, an imprint from Chicago, Illinois, USA of which purpose has been over the years to promote cutting-edge music of jazz, improvised music, experimental rock, electronic music and synergistic crisscrossing between them. By adding to it a conceptual measure frequently, as in the recent case, more profoundly, memory and relentless passing of time and permanent changing, it adds some kind of extraneous theoretical dimension to music or just keep amplifying it in an unusual way. An album is something one can listen to at any time the outing is always physically over there yet one's perceptions may change (remarkably) over the years. However, emotive elements within it do work as steady anchors by letting threads in one's memory even if you later would forget about technical minutiae of the album – some sort of polyphonic and modal music by each of them starting alone and then growing stepwise together and into a seamless one. Lonely bouncing piano chords, scruffy drumming, faint electronic accents and dusty keyboard strands used come together sometime, I mean being decelerated by playing music in a laid-back and thoughtful manner. Reminds of a little bit Tortoise but having premiered in a more academic manner.
