About the Slither DVD
Slither is the latest collaborative project from Jeffers Egan and Jake Mandell, a 41 minute, 5 track DVD featuring Egan's signature otherworldly visuals and a breathtaking 5.1 surround sound mix from Mandell.
Slither intertwines the worlds of abstract painting and electronic music, creating an advanced, dynamic relationship between the audio and visuals. The result is a hyperreal fluidity that casts the viewer directly into the time-shifting, sense-warping abyss of the sublime.
Slither has had tremendous international success, earning POPKOMM, d-motion, and backup festival award nominations. Slither has also appeared in several prominant media art/film/music festivals including b.film/DIGITAL VISION, transmediale, New York Video Festival, AMODA, and NEMO.
Slither has received critical acclaim from around the globe, hailed as "astounding"(Groove), "beautiful"(New York Times), "compelling"(Digital Production), and "the most brutal trip imaginable in the current fields of perception and visual art."(de:bug)
Slither is released by K2O Records in Berlin and is currently out of print. Slither will be available soon for purchase online at the iotacenter store.
