Ephem-Aural - Juilliard Audition Beat Tape

Timpani annunciation! The orchestra begins in full swing. This is an audition, no time for build up. Strong emphatic start with calculated diversity, controlled harmonic display finding proper alignment. Hear the horns declare purposeful heaviness. What will the Juilliard auditors think? Another self creative individual expanding known thresholds or is there raw malleable talent within this sonic display? Are these auditioners teachable? Instructors teach Shakespeare within a single idea, while the author wrote multiple meanings within one verse. Remember, this is Juilliard, instructors have insight and their singular understanding is paramount. Their way is the only path and if potential students do not follow the bumper guarded lanes, maybe they will be able to find another place to learn. It will not be as good though, you have auditioned for Juilliard, nothing less. 
 
The second side of the Juilliard Audition Beat Tape causes wonderment. The drama audition pushes parameters far past the music programs structure. A world of spoken word repurposed to become much more. Rhythm and beats backing emotional broken monologues pieces. Keep hearing Ann Magnuson screaming "totally abandoned" from His New Look. But this reflection is only a culmination to the intricate woven stories Ephem-Aural has fantastically assembled. Passages from well performed auditions becoming something beautifully more. Both sides of the Juilliard Audition Beat Tape are filled with samples of some pretty incredible work. They compliment each other extremely well, making the entire Ephem-Aural composition a body of work to get lost in with intricate grooves in kaleidoscopic fashion. Hopefully the Juilliard judges were thrilled to hear such fine work.

Released on Ephem-Aural in a limited cassette edition. Copies are currently available from Ephem-Aural's bandcamp page. The cassette look is very cool with the home recorded tape appearance. Great addition to the label!
