“Accelerometer Overdose” finds London-based jazz duo Binker & Moses not only laying out some kosmische free jazz instrumental interplay but the processing of the performances throughout sends you even further out. Loops of sax and some processing on drum signal and low end brought back in as processed samples both makes you wonder where you are in the music but also engaged to want to follow where it goes before it fades into space. The process transforms maximalism into minimalism, tangible concrete and organic musical forms into an electronic ghost of those living on like a crumbling fractal hologram and giving the meaning of the music a different dimension of meaning than when it first starts out as though saying that the illusion of perfection, of virtuoso performance can be cooler when it is built to break down in ways not entirely under anyone’s control into the chaos of infinite decay. It is the free jazz equivalent of when Mission of Burma would perform live and Martin Swope would take part of the live show into a tape machine and feed it back through the P.A. and warped dub style including an echo of the final notes into analog signal slow burnout taking the audience out of regular time.
