Early into the orchestration of sonic vectors and percussive tonality of Memory Scale’s “Moment of Inertia” there is an almost palpable sense of the title as the pace of the composition lifts off. He repeating sounds like a great wheel resonating in the background almost serves as a timer of the energy generated in the movement of the song though its chill atmospheres and spaciousness sound like a chamber of sustained and floating tones interacting with one another in hazy, distant luminosity. There’s a sense of being in a train looking out into a foggy day and making out the muted shapes of landscape as you move forward into a distant destination. The song works both as an aurally tactile experience of drifting and streaming textures but also as one of soothing yet evocative harmonic presences.

The single comes from the Fauna compilation curated by Franck Zaragoza (aka Ocoeur) released December 10, 2024, International Animal Rights Day with proceeds donated to French animal rights non-profit L214.
