Scene Memory II

milkingchicken The whole album is beautifully unique, unlike anything I've ever heard; it even sounds independent to the first Scene Memory album. There are plenty of relaxing guitar tracks and also a bundle of songs to make you really question the identity of the guitar. Truly a mind-bending experience. Favorite track: The Wides.

about

“Hushed and subtle, with a terrific coiled tension”
Uncut

“Elegant pieces of music that build toward something exquisite and charming...Utterly mesmerizing”
Clash

“Leo Abrahams definitely seems to have got his head right inside the machines to produce this beauty and he's been ever-so-kind to give the rest of us a wee glimpse into the world of the machines.”
The Ransom Note

Renowned London-based musician and producer Leo Abrahams returns to figureight records for the release of beautiful new album Scene Memory II.

A profoundly skilled musician and producer, Leo Abrahams’ creative stamp represents a unique excellence. A Royal Academy of Music graduate, a collaborator of Brian Eno, Imogen Heap, David Byrne, Grace Jones, Regina Spektor, Jon Hopkins and Paul Simon (among others), a member of Krononaut with Martin France (and featuring Arve Henriksen and Matana Roberts), and a filmscore composer, Abrahams has released numerous solo albums and is credited with production, performance and arrangement on countless more. Visitations, his previous album for figureight records, a collaborative record with label boss Shahzad Ismaily, was described in review as “the meeting of two virtuosos”.

“The record grew out of an Ableton Live Set that I built for a solo tour of Siberia in 2019,” Leo writes. “I wanted to create different sonic environments in which to improvise, generating a wide variety of sounds from a single guitar source while avoiding any looping or sequencing. I found the results were most inspiring when the patches had the ability to surprise me. I was seeking ambiguity and liminality in all areas: sound, genre and mood. A live concert was sometimes a challenging environment to explore these things, and the crowd was split every night; reactions ranged from rapt attentiveness from physics students, to outright anger from people who had been expecting ‘real' guitar solos. All the pieces on the record have their seeds in that tour, but were improvised without an audience in my London studio.”

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
