"Turning Jewels Into Water, the deep-beat ceremonial think-tank that sees the coming together of percussionist/rhythm-prophet Ravish Momin and Haitian experimental electronic engineer Val Jeanty, are set to expose the contaminating realities of our dysfunctional, dystopian present with an infectious blast of
Blade Runner
-esque retro-future. Half-organic, half-machine, total binary breakdown; their incendiary debut release,
Which Way Is Home?
, plots an emphatically liberated path. The duo's alliance was initiated in the fall of last year in Brooklyn, NY, during a jam session at Pioneer Works, the creative locus for prime multi-disciplinary misadventure, where Momin held down an artist-in-residence slot -- but that pact has rapidly evolved into a honed ritual revelation, where disembodied voices rise up amid scattered rim-shots and digital detritus, territories formerly deciphered in the linguistic dreams of hip-priest poet Nathaniel Mackey, where Martian phantasms encrypt gnostic cyphers between the tributaries of burnt-down cabling. Dial into the 1980s amusement-arcade delta of 'Lights Below The Water', the post-apocalyptic synth and abused syntax sprawl of the title-cut and set your course for home, anyplace where the absurdist jungle-temples of Raymond Roussel and Brian Catling are being cultivated by the cyber-horrors of Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo and the mischief-making syntax-gremlins of Kenji Siratori's Burroughsian novel Blood Electric. Which way's home? Take a tumble through a telescope. Pick your own planet. Home can be anywhere you make it.
Which Way Is Home?
EP features three original tracks, along with two remixes by Nyege Nyege Tapes-affilliated, Kampala-based producers Slikback and Zilla."
