Jeffrey Wentworth Stevens (Multidim Records, george&caplin, Wentworth Kersey, Morriconez) continues to emerge from his musical hiatus with a full length album of biotic techno outgrowth and ambient offshoots. “My Mylar Lungs” speaks to the moments of decompression where one’s environmental awareness and one’s body awareness begin to resync.
Last year's micro set of “songs performed in the style of haiku [winter]” opened a door back into the joy of a hardware driven approach using Casio samplers of the 1980’s for his play. His new LP continues this trend with more sounds bouncing between vintage samplers, field recordings, and overlaying synthesizers through a hazy 1960’s mixer. The album’s movement from ambient to minimal folk techno aims to ground listeners in moments of environmental contemplation as well as body rhythms. Sounds harken back to the origins of electronic dance music inspired by Psyche/BFC, Dettinger, and Sturm while playing with the forward thinking notions of his labelmates, HLite, Entrancer and Glissline.
From tinkering alongside his grandfather who built radio/TV stations in Iowa, to throwing a rave in his youth featuring Kevin Saunderson, recording with Beta-Lactam Ring Records (Nurse with Wound, The Legendary Pink Dots), to starting up Multidim Records in order to help other DIY electronic musicians; Jeffrey Wentworth Stevens has held electronic music’s rich tone library in deep admiration. This album is Jeffrey re-discovering his process in all walks of life.
