The music imagined for the 21st century lives here: aggressive rhythm programming, deep pulsing bass lines, layers of melody, textural DSP sounds, and female vocals that swagger between luscious and aggressive. Sounds informed by Massive Attack, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Warp Records, and Bjork weave in and out of their sonic influences.
Memory Systems live is an audio visual experience. Consisting of producer Brian Jackson (bass, rhythm machines, synthesizer, and laptop) and artist Phoenix Perry (live visuals, vocals, synthesizer and laptop) they bring an immersive environment into every venue.
Equal parts sci-fi, modern myth, and self-fulfilling prophecy, Memory Systems plays with pop-culture and the ever-shifting media landscape around them. Clashing messages, branded memories, conceptual incongruities, and sensory overload motivates the concept behind the group. They play with context much the way Andy Warhol did. Memory is not what it used to be.
