Molocular Meditation is a bespoke light and sound environment featuring
the voice of the Fall’s Mark E Smith. Smith is heard making observations
on mundane objects, events and a range of meditation techniques
basically associating his discontent with an apolitical british upper
class. His voice forms the narrative component of an electroacoustic
composition by Jan St. Werner placed in a hyper-real scenario evoking a
state of transformation and deceleration. Molecular Meditation premiered
at Cornerhouse, Manchester in 2014. This album presents a re-edited
stereo version of the original multi-channel installation. Voice and
guitar feedbacks were recorded by Werner and Smith at Blueprint Studios
Manchester, electronics in Werner’s Studio in Berlin.
The B-side consists of unreleased new work partly written around the
same time as Molocular Meditation in context of Werner's Fiepblatter
Catalogue on Thrill Jockey. Back to Animals is a non-metric rhythm
exercise frantically hybridizing percussive accents with synthesized
pulse. On the Infinite of Universe and Worlds is the layout for an
electronic opera on Giordano Bruno’s Renaissance writings which Werner
was asked to conceptionalize for Finish festival Musica Nova. VS
Canceled finds Mark E. Smith reading an email from Domino Records
