about

Recorded by M//R [Billy Werner] in the 2020-2021 winter, Slo Cerebral was originally produced as one of 10 streaming A/V sets for the Great Circles "room" in the currents.fm multiverse event - COMMON Festival, March 2021.

In the original livestream, M//R's music was accompanied by visual work produced by Westov Temple [Justin Gibbon], using manipulated archival footage.

From M//R:

"Slo Cerebral represents the inevitability of solitude and the achingly long, methodical arrival at that destination. However, the psychological tension that I felt during the fall and winter of 2020 can only be characterized by the illogical realization that during that period, we were collectively sprinting towards unchanging, everlasting loneliness on separate but perfectly parallel tracks. The fear of infection and infecting is a traumatic way of existing that provides a physical snapshot of the alienation so many of us feel when society is 'functioning.'"

Review by John Morrison for xpn.org
"Divided into two nearly 30-minute sets of music, Slo Cerebral is the latest release by Philly DJ and electronic music experimentalist, M//R (Billy Werner). Recorded throughout 2020 and 2021, the music here captures the existential pressure and angst felt by many of us during the first year of COVID. With its mangled vocal samples, booming 808s and icy electronic textures, parts of Slo Cerebral conjure up a feeling similar to the dark, suffocating atmosphere of 90s beat music like Spectre and Crooklyn Dub Consortium."
