about

The Entropy of Memory reflects on notions of the universe’s natural tendency to move from order to chaos, a primary factor that physicists theorize encourages us to experience the “arrow of time” as constantly moving forward. While time moves forward, one anticipates the future, experiences the now, and lodges experiences in memory. However, as time passes, memories of the more distant past often lose the vivid clarity that they initially held, sometimes dissolving into vague recollections or becoming completely lost. This last movement of The Persistence of Time and Memory presents a thick fog of sound that is awash with fleeting memories from the distant past. In particular, these sonic remembrances consist of brief excerpts from key moments from other musical compositions that are stretched and manipulated spectrally. These aural reflections are combined with synthetic tones that gradually dissolve from pitched notes into noise.
