“Having been through some life experiences that had left me with some worthwhile stories to tell, I bunkered down in the studio and set to work on what I think is my most personal, thought-provoking and hopefully uplifting work to date.” – Tripswitch
‘Memento Mori’ features 12 tracks firmly positioned within Tripswitch’s uniquely distinctive brand of Downtempo Electronica, including a rather special collaboration (Track Title?) with good friend and all-round legend, Nick Warren. The whole album is an aural mind-movie experience, dripping with emotion, as it waltzes between haunting melancholic beauty and lustral euphoric widescreen grooviness, via scary-dark cinematics and evocative downtempo jazzbeat experiments. Heart-melting pianos vie for attention with technological in the box futurism and deep-diving ambience, as the parade gathers toward a heavenly finale. ‘Memento Mori’ is a masterful statement that emphasises exactly why the album format remains such an important vehicle for unbounded artistic expression.
“This new collection is an expression of the last 2 or 3 years or so of my life - the sleeve notes will delve deeper into that journey and message - so there's some shade, but a fair bit of light too. And the shade can be a nice place to hang out when the sun’s too strong.” - Tripswitch
