To cope with the countless hours spent delivering instruction, providing mental health support, and analyzing data while teaching online during the COVID pandemic, Jeffrey Wentworth Stevens committed to recording songs everyday immediately after logging out. Each song was captured in one or two takes and the vocals were improvised.
A plea for a return to normal biorhythms, MDIM015 explores the post online come down and saturated mental state of cloud based socializing. Using improvised vocals as incantations, minimal beat structures, and DX7 musings DOZE DOSING explores the sleepwalking like state of being plugged in beyond one's comfort level.
