Our old pals THEATH and Marc Manning have returned with another collaborative piece designed to expand and interrogate our minds. This particular piece is, according to the duo, from an upcoming collection of songs inspired by the concepts of Julian Jaynes’s The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind – a fitting theme for an adventurous duo to delve into, to be sure. Tinkling keyboard keys and a subtle bell start us off, before an overwhelming bass drone bubbles up from below, providing a foundation for a pair of guitars picking the same line in slightly different ways, one in each ear (ahhh, there’s that bicameral mind!). The drone and guitar continue on their way, the bells and synths phasing in and out of the foreground, creating a soundscape somehow both sinister and serene. Both halves of my mind are very much looking forward to hearing the rest of this project.
