Memorias y movimientos by Crab sound reconnects us to the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of human relationships. It reminds us that every link between two people is unique and constantly in motion and transformation. It is shaped by our shared memories and a common ground that unites us. In chiptune, it is the bleeps and pixels that we assemble, assimilate, and disassemble; in other walks of life, it is the way each step we take moves the life of those around us.
Guided by the nature of our intentions, we gravitate towards or away from one another at a pace that can only be described as relative; the amount of time you've been in the presence of someone does not mean you know them, but you can share feelings with someone who has only recently become part of your memory. Most of the time, we move people whom we do not know.
More often than not, our frustrations and deceptions make us travel downwards towards the noise floor. From the multiplicity and unison of our lamentations, we look for creative solutions that can give us a sense of salvation. Together yet alone, we try to escape this world, a prison we all share without knowing. But you can never be completely trapped in a dungeon filled with light.
