"Memorize the Sky have played and recorded with Braxton, sure. That doesn't do much to explain what they accomplish in terms of reducing breadth of musical experience to focused motivic cells that continually produce new ideas that I would never think of. I could also run down the massive who's who type bio of each individual but suffice to say they are recording for a label focused on new American improvisation for a reason. When I became familiar with the band, and it really is an actual band, it was through playing with both Zach and Aaron who were not reductionists or drones but rather folks who REALLY got into a singe idea, thus motivic cells. The previous stuff I heard sounded like morning fog dissipating in the dawn. This one sounds like a rain forest, maybe? A temperate American rain forest? The weird world music cut on On The Corner?"
