Memory Geist - 'Benthos' (DiNDDL09)

DiNDDL09| Release date 04/07/11


"Benthos" is the second album by Memory Geist, the collaborative 
project of Steve Law (of Zen Paradox, Starseed Transmission & Black 
Cab) and Bakis Sirros (of Parallel Worlds & Interconnected). Their 
first album "Funereal Cavern" was released in 2007 by the well respected
 Italian experimental label Musica Maxima Magnetica.

The creation of "Benthos" has been a long process initiated in 
mid-2007 when Law visited Sirros in his home town of Athens, Greece and 
the duo recorded some initial material together comprising a variety of 
soundscapes, sequences, analogue rhythms & organic atmospheres. On 
his return to Melbourne in Australia, Law sculpted this raw material 
into a set of 6 tracks which were augmented by further soundscapes, 
rhythms and arrangement ideas sent across to him by Sirros. The 
gestation of "Benthos" took 4 years in total and has resulted in the 
birth of a complex and fascinating ambient electronica album. The pieces
 range from dark, industrial rhythmic tracks to cosmic style slabs of 
ambience and showcase the duos use of modular analogue synths alongside 
computer software manipulation.
