Ross Alexander's Memorias Vol. 2 - High Atlas To The Sahara Desert is a compelling sonic journey rooted in real-world exploration. Drawing from field recordings captured during a 2018 trip through Morocco's High Atlas Mountains and into the Sahara Desert, Alexander traveled to witness a gathering of nomadic musicians near the Algerian border, weaving those captured sounds into a rich tapestry of original composition. Released in 2019 on the globe-spanning Discrepant label, this album serves as a natural and ambitious follow-up to its predecessor.
Where the first volume leaned toward New Age influences, Memorias Vol. 2 - High Atlas To The Sahara Desert ventures into the ambient textures of 1980s industrial sound, creating an immersive and impressionistic travelogue that feels both ancient and otherworldly. Alexander's layered approach — blending processed field recordings with original compositions — results in a deeply atmospheric listening experience that transports the listener across desert landscapes and mountain passes. Fans of tribal ambient and experimental electronic music will find this release a fascinating and transportive listen.
