International Surrealist Bulletin - Immanence

Rumblings deep within the living jungle. The ground vibrates, a bird's call echoing into vegetative obscurity. A beat, a crisp sound of a hand played drum is the interlude to the foreign tongue and native machinery. There is no time, sounds droning through the night, only an aural flickering. The ceremony begins abruptly or fatefully depending upon the perspective. Now, vibrant sound permeates the discernible stillness. Tranquil reverberation in the lowest frequency overlaid with spiritual mysticism.

Trumpets sound, mystery finding conscious cracks, slowly growing like invasive vines in a new found land. Meditative meanderings through sonic moments in time. Sometimes futuristic, then changing form to herald ancient civilizations. These sounds are beautifully juxtaposed throughout the course of the composition. Immanence swirls with heaviness, almost forty five minutes over four tracks, but the core feeling is more of serenity than anything else. Undertones of shrines, sanctuaries and holy places, filled with vitality of the oracle that is International Surrealist Bulletin.

Immanence was released on the New York label Ephem-Aural in September of this year. The first tape to follow International Surrealist Bulletin's previous label release Communitas back in the summer of 2016. Lost in a Sea of Sound was fortunate enough to dive into Communitas as well. These sounds run through time, coupling forgotten worlds with those to come. Providing a tangible tether to metaphysical domains.
