The first part of the series is entitled ’ Rapid-Eye Assemblage’ ( EP ) VOL-1 conceived between London, Manchester,Berlin and Japan in late December 2006 and October 2007 and marks the beginning of a darkly-beautiful and atmospheric journey undertaken by ( The Dielectric ) to produce and create what can only be best described as a thunderous cacophony of intense melody meets pulsing nightmare soundscapes with an avant-garde mix of edgy, abrasive skull-snapping beats and sub-bass dubtronics ’Rapid-Eye Assemblage’ documents THE DIELECTRIC’S first original compositions/ demos recorded by J.HOOKENS Together with established underground Berlin vocalist and multi-instrumentalist MONA MUR , best known for her collaborations with FM Einheit, Marc Chung and Alex Hacke of EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN and En Esch formerly KMFDM , Dieter Meier of YELLO and the Warsaw Philharmonic to name but a few, who contributes her vocals / lyrics and sound ideas to the tracks ’Operative’ and ’Shadowless co-written and produced with Hookens . The EP also includes the Japanese underground writer and webcaster KENJI SIRATORI who approached THE DIELECTRIC to create a dark-tapestry of sound for his spoken-word composition ’Asylum’ with music-backing courtesy of Hookens plus London based artist-contributor and sound engineer/ producer D.ESCOTT Aka ELECTRO FUNK ROCKERS/ AWAX who co-wrote the track ’Mechanisms’ with Hookens. This very special limited-edition EP will only be available via mail-order on CD format on hand-printed chrome body print with 3 alternative front covers and is strictly limited to just 500 copies. ARTIST - THE DIELECTRIC TITLE - - RAPID-EYE ASSEMBLAGE ( EP ) VOL-1 RELEASE DATE - ( 19.03.2008 ) FORMAT: CD-ONLY RECORD LABEL: ( WWW.THEDIELECTRIC.ORG ) DISTRIBUTION: LTD-EDTION MAILORDER-ONLY TRACKLIST 001: Operative -edit 002: D:motion 003: Mechanisms 004: Shadowless 005: Asylum The second installment in this ambitious trilogy series due to be released in early May 2008 by THE DIELECTRIC is entitled ’ In The Flicker Of An Eye’ and includes brand new studio-material written and recorded on location between Berlin, Manchester, the Netherlands and London in late September 2007 and early January - March 2008 by THE DIELECTRIC. Marking a transition from the cinematic and spine-chilling filigree noisescapes of the first eponymous EP, ’In The Flicker Of An Eye’ voyages into a slow-seductive and dance-oriented direction for this second release. Featuring the groups mellifluously moody signature and abstract musical-settings fused with fragmented collages of cut-up electronic noise that takes you further into the wonderful and frightening world of THE DIELECTRIC. Full of shimmering textures, melodies and dark pulsating experimental-grooves that fizz with tension and intrigue, this 5-track ( EP) utilizes both acoustic sound sources and traditional digital-analog recording technologies fused together with vocals and beats that happen in real-time. Predominantly written and performed by Hookens on his travels around Europe ’In The Flicker Of An Eye ’ is accompanied by a new line-up of collaborators for this recording - including Netherlands improv jazz musician Martin K.Lewis on the track ’Introjection ’ and London based artist/producer ‘The Fellow Traveler’ also Finland artist Martin Host Aka PROJECT BLUE as well as long-time collaborator and friend D.Escott on the dreamy psychedelic dub-dance inspired track ’ Flitter’. The EP also features London based vocalist / lyricist ‘Karren King’ who got in touch with Hookens via Myspace to ask him to create some music for her lyrics’s and the result is a beautiful-down tempo and haunting track entitled ’Belief’.
