ZHANGYE - Memories / Cyanhill Music

Making a welcome entrance, Cyanhill Music present a release from ZHANGYE - titled 'Memories', a single featuring a melody that shimmers like fragmented light in the recesses of memory. Each time it recurs, it is adorned with new textures of time.

ZHANGYE commented: "The birth of this song began with a melody. It recurs in the intro, chorus, and Drop, like a fragment of memory that surfaces quietly at different moments in life. Each time it echoes, it carries a bit of variation, as if time has added a filter to it.

I've always been fascinated by the reinforcement and variation of melodies—they are not only expressions of music but also metaphors for memory. The human brain, in an effort to conserve energy, condenses repetitive days into slice-like memories, often leaving behind just a few moments. Thus, we often say that life is but a series of repeated fragments.

The Drop rhythm of 'Memories' is a response to this "leaping within continuity" and "rhythm within fragments"—it captures the irregular yet authentic rhythm of memory flashbacks.

But for me, music is never just about abstract concepts. A melody is the original form of music in my memory. It is rooted in emotion and is the starting point of all expressions. I hope that when you listen to this song, it can also evoke a memory that belongs to you."
