In April of this year, Mizmor mastermind A.L.N. released something new—Alluvion, the Mizmor and Hell collaboration (Gilead Media). Now in June, A.L.N. brings you something old… or rather, renewed. Mnemonic:Ambient Mosaic is comprised of ten of A.L.N.’s earliest recordings, transformed into nostalgic drone-scapes. The artist has been making solo music under multiple monikers consistently since age thirteen and the recordings selected for this record date back almost as far.

“To create Mnemonic, I unearthed a selection of old recordings from both The Zarconiac and my eponymous hymns (2011) and repurposed them into ambient tracks, just like I did with the Mizmor song “Pareidolia” (Wit’s End, 2022). I realized that there were many lamentful melodies in my old songs that I still love, despite the lo-fi quality. The idea was to create a nostalgic soundscape of inverted hymns, allowing the listener to explore the sounds of my past, obscured though they may be.” Drafts of these songs were originally published to Mizmor’s Patreon (currently inactive), one each month of the year 2024. The twelve songs were then edited down into the ten that comprise this LP.

About the aforementioned hymns, A.L.N. explains, “In my time as a Christian (2010-2012), I created an EP of original hymns. The life of this project was short and catalogued simply under my given name. I can count the number of people who have heard these songs on one hand. These were worship songs, but not in the traditional sense. These songs were full of melancholy, pleas of help to God. It was from precisely this prayerful place that the first Mizmor album was written not long after, when I lost my faith.”
