THE DIELECTRIC TRILOGY SERIES 2008
THE DIELECTRIC would like to offically announce a brand new forthcoming trilogy series of EP’s due to be released in 2008
on three different formats via three individual record labels.The focus and motivation behind this inspired
trilogy project dreamed-up by founder member J.HOOKENS [ formerly JERICO ONE ] is to experiment and explore new sound and conceptual visual ideas outside the
standard band-format and to work with a rotating line-up of new and established artists
on the international music-art scene. The first part of the series is entitled ’ Rapid-Eye Assemblage’ ( EP ) VOL-1
conceived between London, Manchester,Berlin and Japan in late December 2006 and October 2007 and marks
the beginning of a darkly-beautiful and atmospheric journey undertaken by ( The Dielectric ) to produce and create
what can only be best described as a thunderous cacophony of intense melody meets pulsing nightmare soundscapes with an avant-garde mix of edgy, abrasive skull-snapping beats and sub-bass dubtronics

The second installment in this ambitious trilogy series due to be released in early May 2008 by THE DIELECTRIC is entitled ’ In The Flicker Of An Eye’ and includes brand new studio-material written and recorded on location between Berlin, Manchester, the Netherlands and London in late September 2007 and early January - March 2008 by THE DIELECTRIC. Marking a transition from the cinematic and spine-chilling filigree noisescapes of the first eponymous EP, ’In The Flicker Of An Eye’ voyages into a slow-seductive and dance-oriented direction for this second release. Featuring the groups mellifluously moody signature and abstract musical-settings fused with fragmented collages of cut-up electronic noise that takes you further into the wonderful and frightening world of THE DIELECTRIC. Full of shimmering textures, melodies and dark pulsating experimental-grooves that fizz with tension and intrigue, this 5-track ( EP) utilizes both acoustic sound sources and traditional digital-analog recording technologies fused together with vocals and beats that happen in real-time.
Predominantly written and performed by Hookens on his travels around Europe
’In The Flicker Of An Eye ’ is accompanied by a new line-up of collaborators for this
recording - including Netherlands improv jazz musician Martin K.Lewis on the track ’Introjection ’ and London based artist/producer ‘The Fellow Traveler’ also Finland artist Martin Host Aka PROJECT BLUE as well as long-time collaborator and friend D.Escott on the dreamy psychedelic dub-dance inspired track ’ Flitter’. The EP also features London based vocalist / lyricist ‘Karren King’ who got in touch with Hookens via Myspace to ask him to create some music for her lyrics’s and the result is a beautiful-down tempo and haunting track entitled ’Belief’. This 5-track digital release will be officially released on the new experimental off-shoot label set up by MARK STEWART AKA THE MAFFIA and THE POP GROUP called ‘FREAKS R US’ to be distributed by the URBCOM record label and will only be available on digital-only format via iTunes / Napster worldwide.
