Tonight's edition of Sounds In The Dark features a live performance and conversation with classically trained pianist Grant Outerbridge about his ambient project Memorybell, and resulting record entitled Obsolete, recently released on Australia's Hidden Shoal records.
A sparse and compellingly beautiful solo piano soundscape recorded on an old grand piano, Obsolete is inspired by a severe episode of transient global amnesia in 2014 that left Grant without several months of memories and a hypersensitivity to light and sound.
Tune in and bliss out to a live piano performance of four selections from Obsolete, as well as a new, unreleased Memorybell tune. Plus, Grant discusses how the battle with amnesia affected his music and his life, and touches upon other key influences that underlie his music, from Eno to Pavement. It's a fun and engaging discussion with an incredibly talented figure in the ambient music scene that you won't want to miss!

{ audio }I founded BFF.fm in 2013 because I believe in the power of community radio to play an integral role in our local music scene, and that a great Internet station can bring the Bay Area sound to the world.
People look at me sideways when I explain that one day I just decided to start an online radio station. I knew I could figure it out, and today BFF.fm is a vibrant community of talented DJs and dedicated volunteers, working together to make our mission happen!
I’m proud of the impact BFF.fm has had on the community and the opportunities it has afforded our listeners and our DJs. In 4 years we’ve hosted hundreds of bands in studio, presented dozens of local music showcases, and booked local support for touring acts playing larger venues.
