Memory Scale, whose real name is Arnaud Castagné, is a French musician living in Bordeaux, specializing in melodic and cinematographic ambient/electronic compositions.

Inspired by artists such as ambient pioneer Brian Eno, the 90s ambient scene, IDM, electronica and Krautrock, as well as the sounds of artists such as The Durutti Column, Dieter Moebius, Seefeel, Boards of  Canada or even Tortoise (among others), Memory Scale knew how to merge these varied influences to create a recognizable style.

Memory Scale tracks transport the listener into haunting soundscapes, evoking cinematic images and deep emotions.  Delicate melodies blend seamlessly with atmospheric textures, creating an immersive auditory experience.

Memory Scale - You Could See What I Heard

There is no such thing as a plain text. Мы позвали в гости Никиту Прокопова, автора Fira Code, и разработчика сразу нескольких UI фреймворков, чтобы поговорить о том, как компьютеры работают с текстом. Тема большая, поэтому первый выпуск мы решили посвятить исключительно кодировкам: истории их развития, принципам работы и самым странным проблемам, с которыми предстоит столкнуться при их использовании. Предупреждаем – после прослушивания этого выпуска вам станет сложнее спать по ночам!

Также ждем вас, ваши лайки, репосты и комменты в мессенджерах и соцсетях!

LO-FI AMBIENT MIX #4 by Dionisaf | Tascam cassette deck & JVC cassette deck

First Snow of The Year" is the project of Belgium-based artist Erik Sevenans, who adopted this moniker in 2017 following his relocation to Munich, Germany. Whilst grappling with a foreign language and adjusting to his new environment, Erik found himself in the midst of an exceptionally cold winter that year. During this period of adaptation, he embarked on the creation of an album, delving into the exploration of ambient textures, a departure from his usual musical terrain. The album, born out of this experimental phase, coincided with the first snowfall of the year, thus being the reason for the project's distinctive name. Originally conceived as Erik's personal soundtrack for his daily subway commute while engrossed in Murakami novels, the project took on a life of its own.
 
In 2018, Erik made a conscious decision to turn this into an annual tradition, committing to record an album each year following the first snowfall. The raw essence of his second album served as the demo version for his release with Whitelabrecs, titled "Awakening of the Pines". The record drew inspiration from Munich's surroundings, the majestic Alps, the Isar river, and the nearby forest. During the challenges posed by the Covid-19 lockdowns and beyond, Erik experienced a surge in creative productivity. He dedicated time to refining his sound, experimenting with techniques, and applying newfound knowledge to both the development of fresh material and the enhancement of his existing body of work.
 
The writing of "Awakening of the Pines" involved diverse techniques and ideas, reflecting Erik's pursuit of discovery. The initial compositions varied in style, with some leaning towards a post-rock aesthetic and others embracing a more synth-based approach. Despite this diversity, the common thread binding the tracks on this record together was the inspiration from his surrounding environment alongside the novels he was reading at the time. Each piece retains its original character, preserving the essence of its initial spark, creating a cohesive yet eclectic album.
