Mind Over Mirrors is the solitary reeling of American harmoniumist/electronicist Jaime Fennelly. Known as a founding member of the late Peeesseye, and psychedelic free jazz trio Acid Birds, Fennelly began developing Mind Over Mirrors while living on a remote island in the Salish Sea of Washington State from 2007 - 2010. Utilizing an Indian pedal harmonium, oscillators, tape delays, and an assortment of synthesizing processors, Fennelly bends slowly-building, repetitive melodies into massive sonic mountains, that fits somewhere between American Primitive, Drone and Kosmische aural territory, and as XXJFG eulogized, sounds “like some drum-less-techno titan stalking the sand blasted bazaars of a near-future, eastern city.”
Last summer, Digitalis Recordings released the project’s debut vinyl LP entitled, The Voice Rolling, and Seattle-based cassette imprint, Gift Tapes, released the companion album, High & Upon (which is now reissued on vinyl by Aguirre Records as of May 2012). In September 2011, AIR Antwerpen (Belgium) invited Mind Over Mirrors to be artist-in-residence to record with a positive pipe organ and play his first string of European shows since embarking on this new solo. January 2012 brought forth the next chapter with another set of companion releases (an EP-length cassette, Small Portion, on Digitalis, and the 7” single Near Your Dwelling on Dirty Knobby Records) to coincide with a week long tour in the US with Cleared (Immune Recordings) and Koen Holtkamp (Thrill Jockey).
