Altered Zones

Inner Spaced is a droney side collaboration between John Elliott of Emeralds/Outer Space and Brooklyn/New Orleans modular synth duo Telecult Powers-- self-described as an "electronic music [group] with the sole/soul purpose of trans-plutonian communication." The following excerpt comes pretty close to capturing the feel of Telecult's inimitable live performances, which combine tactile sound vibration, candlelight flickers, and old nature documentaries and ethnographic films to quasi-liturgical effect. Typically, "Witchbeam" and "Mister Matthews" sit on the floor with their backs to the audience and their faces to the screen, manning their machines like the controls on the dashboard of a helicopter; the husky drones and mechanical pulses that ensue become the sound of navigating the world that we behold on screen-- as though it were not our world at all, but a cabinet of alien curiosities that happen to look an awful lot like cuttlefish, human beings, and white arabians. No visuals to accompany this one, but an inner-eye journey is there for the taking. --Emilie Friedlander, Visitation Rites
