Memory Pearl

Way back in April, we sat down with Toronto's Moshe Fisher-Rozenberg to chat about the debut album from his ambient alias, Memory Pearl. Music For Seven Paintings (Idée Fixe Records) may sound strikingly different from the motorik pulse he provides to avant-rock group Absolutely Free, but as he explains in this friendly, freewheeling conversation, it sounds much more like the records on his own shelf at home. Memory Pearl's lulling electronic sound can be partly credited to Fisher-Rozenberg’s work leading music therapy sessions at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and it adds a patient beauty to any rooms where it hangs.
