S.E.M:I is a project by Mikæl Orgillon and Jason Bagley started in 1999 and is currently part of the Syncromesh family. The project is a heavy Noise and Drum-n-Bass influenced project that has the overall effect of practically creating altered mental states while at the same time rocking your body and pounding your head. The Syncromesh site describes the project as recreating subatomic music, “that primordial dance of particles and electrons, the hyper-kinetic waltz of nuclei”. With all the thrashing, bleeping, droning, and many other more subtle things going on in these multi-layered, multi-dimensional tracks that perspective is quite visible. They have been compared to Download, the side-project of ex-Skinny Puppy member cEvin Key and with good reasons. S.E.M:I gives all new meaning to the term ‘abstract’ while maintaining highly kinetic dance rhythms. S.E.M:I is more of a scientific formula than a genre of music. It’s an alchemical blend of technology and consciousness. While most of the tracks on this disc just instantly grab you and pull you in like a Death Star tractor beam “Negative Man” takes it’s time building layer upon layer of strategically controlled chaos and is one of the few vocal tracks on the release. S.E.M:I is chaos theory redefined!
