DIMMER / midREM
LAFMS(Los Angeles Free Music Society)一派に合流した活動もしているJoseph Hammer(ジョセフ・ハマー)と、実に地味深いミュージック・コンクレート/エレクトロアコースティック/アンビエント・インダストリアル/ノイズまで、その音楽に対する深い造詣が窺える作風のThomas Dimuzio(トーマス・ディムジオ)によるユニットDimmerの、2021年にDeathbomb Arcからリリースした4th!!! 得体の知れない空間に吸い込まれる様なドープなサウンドスケープ! midREM Dimmer DIMMER's fourth album tells you right from the start where it manifests from, 'midREM'. Continuing the duo's work in live sampling, processing, feedback, looping by Thomas Dimuzio and tape manipulation and processing by Joseph Hammer - the sound crafted feels more substantial than a symbolic representation of dream sleep; it feels like hearing dreams themselves. DIMMER's most recent albums were on ISOUNDERSCORE and LA Free Music Society. Joseph Hammer is also a member of LAFMS. Thomas Dimuzio works in mastering with acts such as Clipping and Matmos. (Deathbomb Arc) "...music heavy with a sense of foreboding, but alive with slow motion detail..." ──The Wire "This is really exceptional stuff, and certainly some of the best that we've encountered from either artists individually." ──Aquarius Records ▼Track List 1.
