dimmer - the shining path (released
july 2007 by melon expander, gench & lafms)
 Dimmer
is a duo comprising live sampling pioneer Thomas Dimuzio and tape-loop
maestro Joseph Hammer. swallowing audiences with their dark explorations
of sound, Dimmer specializes in a symbiotic sound process as they continually
loop, reloop, sample and resample within an interactive feedback circuit
linking both artists. For their debut CD, Dimmer melds their recursive
circuits into rich and seething sonic masses with subtle waves pulsing
sound within sound. Ripe with theme and variation, The Shining Path
suspends the listener over dim and dank planes on an aural trip spanning
and scanning from a celestial vista. Nearly every aspect of Dimmer's live
performances grace The Shining Path, yet this is not a live document,
but rather a pastiche and reworking of everything Dimmer has accomplished
in their years of performing as a duo. Jointly released by Melon Expander,
Gench, and LAFMS.

slew (released may 2004 by gench
& rér megacorp)
 Slew
pools more than a decade of studio works spanning compilations issued
by RRRecords, Tzadik,
Alku,
Realization,
Digital Narcis,
Self Abuse,
Cuneiform
and other groundbreaking labels. More than a compilation of compilation
tracks, Slew documents the evolution of an artist dedicated to
an immersive world of sound and aural vision. Bringing together many out
of print and hard to find gems, Slew blurs the bounds of electro-acoustic, digital musique concrete, drone, noise, dark ambient and industrial. Dimuzio’s sonic reworkings range from an Elvis impersonator (on parade), junkyard ambiance, electric guitar, piano, voice, clarinet, feedback and shortwave sounds to cellist Tom Cora and the music of Dr. Nerve. Also featured is a new bonus track constructed from Dimuzio’s locked-groove submissions for the releases RRR-500 (RRRecords) and LockERS (E.R.S.).
Slew charts the path of a prolific sound artist and composer and
is an essential addition to any collection.
