    MEMOIRS FROM THE DEEP END
    *mayfairgrin weaves a schizophrenic journey through swirling pads and atmospheres with an ever-changing backdrop of filtered beats and loops. This pads-meets-beats writing style paints two completely different sonic pictures and overlaps them. Serene vs. chaos. Peace vs. aggression. Yin vs. yang. These contradictory ideas mesh flawlessly, like they belong together.
