MIND OVER MIRRORS, the evolving project of Jaime Fennelly, deploys modest acoustic constituent materials—an Indian pedal harmonium and
the human voice—to produce rolling, meditative music that both simulates the swells and troughs of synthesized electronics and conjures the
ceaseless rhythms of tidal surges. While we can point out referential sonic compass points—G.I. Gurdjieff’s harmonium improvisations; certain
