Danny Scott Lane - Memory Record (2019)

"Memory Record" is the second solo album from LA based producer Danny Scott Lane who released his debut album "How To Empty A Cup" on Shimmering Moods Records last spring. "Memory Record" is an album with a unique vision, encapsulated by its wide palette including woody percussion, bells, morphing synthesizers, natural field recordings, plucky keys, early-digital synth tones and warm, aqueous pads. Accompanying Lane on many of these tunes is the gorgeous flute of Ei Talley II.

"Memory Record" derives its name and purpose from Lane’s grandfather who after being diagnosed with Alzheimers gifted Lane and his brother microcassette recorders and encouraged them to record and document their memories in a physical form. Taking his advice to heart, Lane sculpted the meandering and fleeting feeling of memories beautifully on "Memory Record".

Meditative, descriptive, his albums are progressions of sound that integrate environment with a perky, observant, curious and bright personality.

The records, "How to Empty a Cup" and the new "Memory Record" can be understood as an ongoing series of mental iterations and exploration of genre, with one consistent creative mind behind each. Both chimey, consistent, a walking pace, they ask us to participate in the observation of small details.
