Mirrors - [excerpt from an improvisation]

This was only the second gig for these self-declared "electric dialectic monist acousticians", but they played nearly an hour of improvised material with a self-assured patience, letting musical themes develop at their own pace. The sound is basically trance-y hypnagogic dreamscapes, with Kayla Grant intoning passages from the Book of the Dead (and processing ver vocals) while Zach Clark provided drones and flutters (on Moog, shruti box and sundry electronics) while Liam Cole pulled the abstractions together with his non-invasive percussion. You could slot this (and not just alphabetically!) between Manticore and Moonwood.

  1. Amazing. We should probably do a Manticore/Mirrors/Moonwood triple drone bill.
