The spiritual leader, manager and co-owner of Divination - conjurors of the soundtrack of the occult - returns to the ether with The Technomancy EP, exploring the marriage of magick and technology and their potential to elevate love and life as well as subjugate, coerce and control others.
Concept releases don’t arise often as they are a daunting and haunting task, yet one that LA based Wil Dumaop - better known as Theatrix - has reveled in. The Technomancy EP tells a true story both in lyrics and sound regarding the interwoven nature of love and the material world. The magical healing and connecting power of love conjoined with an impeccable musical ride through the many complexities of symbiosis.
The title track is arguably Theatrix’ finest work to date, its intricate synth patterns interwoven with a daunting vibe and precision drums, complemented by the impeccable You And I featuring the vocal talent of Gracie Van Brunt.
A devilish incantation of harrowing vocals and slow burning cyberpunk electro leads the way on Cybergoth and ventures into more straightforward dancefloor on the subtle but punchy Dataslave. Both feature more spellbinding vocal work by MC Dino and JTEC.
Closing this 5 track ritual is Daemonology, a moogy 80’s style halftimer executed with surgical precision and perfectly closing off the auditory soup of The Technomancy EP, Theatrix’ finest work to date.
