Following a duo of LPs for Dekorder,
Dan Hayhurst
(audio) and
Reuben Sutherland
(visuals) recorded
Slime Code
for
Patten
's Kaleidoscope label which originally issued a version on cassette tape in 2012. This music was performed live to eight-track tape from which a digital edit was compiled and from that came this exclusive vinyl version. Visually and sonically, disorientation and imperfection play a major role. From the bewildering and complex cover art straight down to the insanity of its scope,
Slime Code
's impact starts from the second you get the record in your hands and doesn't end until the broken tribal blasts and cybernetic electronics close down the show. Submerged blips act like aural drips falling into a rapidly-flowing river of tropical bounce until dissolving into squalls of synthetic noise. The music operates as a highly visual level across two extended pieces consuming disfigured bleeps and herky jerky post-techno rhythms sounding like
Sun Ra
meets
Ekoplekz
in a conical flask of liquid mescaline, all spun through a centrifuge at
Daphne Oram
's home lab. Yet far from being an abstract mush of sonics, their logic dictates a strong sense of linearity that's almost reflective of the dancefloor, to an extent much like
Diamond Catalog
, and somehow also of the lilting metallic timbres associated with
Konono No. 1
, or
Harmonious Thelonious
and
The Durian Brothers
12"s on Diskant. The intangible magic of their sound lies in the way their grooves dissolve and reassemble at will, performing almost impossible segues between seemingly insoluble sounds and rhythms in spiraling vortices of frothy geometric convolution made to immerse and stimulate your pineal gland to joyfully lysergic effect. Cut to vinyl by
Lupo
at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin.
