Mediumship is simply an intergalactic vehicle for the duo as it steers through melodic spaces of precision electronics with a flare for retrograded 8-bit electro-techno.
[Release page] After a year in process, the collaboration between Johnny Jitters and J Wayne Clinton (Mind Tiger / Dream Weapon) comes to fruition on Mediumship, an extended player that bends and contorts from start to eventual end. Both established artists in their own right, Mediumship is an interesting listen as it dives into 8-bit electro extractions and experimental fractures of soundtrack delights.
“A New World” freezes and thaws its electrical conduits to reveal ambient debris as it merges a wide spectrum of frequency bending. Elsewhere you’ll digest soundtracks to imaginary video games reminiscent of early-era Kracfive inhabitants such as Colongib and Pacman. Essential digital-funk that takes on various transformations is featured on the out-of-nowhere dub-techno of “Amphibious Shapeshift.” The most mechanical of the lot comes in the form of the Phoenecia-inspired minimal 8-bit electro of “Astral Ghosts.”
In summary, Seesound is a well-crafted collaboration that focuses on the sound of pixels raining on marching robots. Their mechanical strands of experimental data is carefully thought-out and engaging. Mediumship is simply an intergalactic vehicle for the duo as it steers through melodic spaces of precision electronics with a flare for retrograded 8-bit electro-techno.
Mediumship is available on Aud-Art. [Release page]
