Experimental filmmaker and Markus Mehr collaborator <a href="https://vimeo.com/sixtsense/videos">Stefanie Sixt</a> has created a stunning new video work for the album track ‘Gymnasium/Swarms’. View the full video at <a href="https://vimeo.com/105644655">Vimeo</a>, stream the track at <a href="https://soundcloud.com/hidden_shoal/06_gymnasium-swarms">SoundCloud</a>and download it at <a href="https://markusmehr.bandcamp.com/track/gymnasium-swarms">Bandcamp</a>.

<i>Binary Rooms </i>is Mehr’s fifth studio album and his most challenging and engaging to date. Mehr’s music has always possessed a keen sense of and negotiation with scale, and on <i>Binary Rooms</i> he challenges notions of personal space, juxtaposing the human against the industrial, the gentle and intimate against the jolting and harsh. Mehr acts as a fragment hunter, meshing machine-like tones with the discarded elements of humanity; narrative with anti-narrative. On <i>Binary Rooms </i>he manages to create a spatial remix – a striking re-design of aural reality filled with a living, digital biology.

<em>“Off is unquestionably the most satisfying part of the trilogy... opens in a manner characteristic of the genre but subsequently distinguishes itself as something far more than a standard ambient work... a wholly immersive experience that you will likely want to re-experience many times over</em>” – <strong><a title="Textura" href="http://www.textura.org/reviews/mehr_off.htm" target="_blank">Textura</a>
</strong>

<em>“In this blissful wanderlust Mehr succeeds in spades creating a completely engrossing, engaging and all together reliable album full of the most powerful ambient-drone tracks this year</em>” – <a title="Tome to the Weather Machine" href="http://www.tometotheweathermachine.com/reviews/2010/08/markus-mehr" target="_blank"><strong>Tome to the Weather Machine</strong></a>
