Mnemonists

Mnemonists is an American experimental collective founded in Fort Collins, Colorado, in the late 1970s by Mark Derbyshire and William Sharp, first recording as Mnemonist Orchestra. Their records combine free improvisation, musique concrète, electronics and pre-taped sound mixed live with instruments. In the mid-1980s the music side continued as Biota, while the Mnemonists name stayed with the visual-arts work.
