midREM by 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.
“…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
