 "Sex Dreams Of The I-Ching started out as six love songs with strange fragmented structures that had titles inspired by readings from the I-Ching. I didn't know what to do with them, but kept returning to them over and over, they had an uncanny quality whilst being totally dissonant and broken. One day I found some recordings I made on a 4-track years ago with a WEM Copycat - mostly my vocalisations looped endlessly - and out of curiosity played some whilst playing the love songs in the background. That's more or less how it began. A fortnight later all six songs morphed themselves into drones and then, with some minor embellishments, unfolding melodies, the titles magically fitting the new music. Sumetha and James added their parts and the album was done, no mixing required. As a listener you may find this album is perfect for playing in noisy environments." Terence J McGaughey, London, 27th September 2012.

Reviews
Boomkat (UK) – Sublime ambient/drone-pop rituals from Terence J McGaughey's Millimetre - tipped for fans of Coil, Grouper or MSOTT. The Tapeworm has a habit of rooting out gold from the electronic sub-loam and 'Sex Dreams Of The I Ching' is a total nugget. It's the first we've ever heard from Millimetre, and certainly won't be the last, drawing together ghostly vocal glossolalia, opiated eastern drone from harmonium and ebow-ed guitar, plus morphing monotron washes in a manner that reminds us of some all time favourites, yet is clearly guided by a lone, individual chamber spirit. It's surely one of The Tapeworm's most enchanting releases and strongly recommended. Be quick, we can't see this hanging around long.

Millimetre: "Summer Fumes" New Single & Album News

After a 2 year silence, Millimetre comes back out of its hiding place with a new single and album. Inspired by the woozy, heavy London summer air, "Summer Fumes" is a hyperventilating prayer to the subtle invasions of nature in one of the most urbanised regions of the world. The song is composed of Terence McGaughey's vocal glossolalia and chthonian basso, a little ebow guitar and a Korg Monotribe pulsing out the nerve-endings-as-beats. Electronic musician Alex Mein Smith provides a shuffling, itchy-scratchy remix which takes the vocals and turns them inside out. Then the 'Ambient' remix strips everything down to the bare elements - vocals, breathing, sub-bass with no apparent source, weird uncanny textures. The second new song is called "Poppies" and is about just that -- a huge field of crimson poppies and every uncanny association that comes with them. Once again, as with "Summer Fumes" and the forthcoming album Discreet Cathexis, the song is composed almost fully of vocals and vocal noises. The single will be a download-only release available through State51/Greedbag and proceeds the new Millimetre album, more of which later.
