“Cut down and destroy all that obstructs you. Do this without question and do this without shame.”
This hypnophonic recording, The Dream Bible, is, let us say, a gift. Like any gift, its outcome is in the hands of its recipient. Will you open it? Will you cast it away to rot in its ineffable mystery? Will you desecrate it, and return it to its sender? We’re calling this particular gift “a nocturnal audio guide to Total Disentanglement." Created to be played while sleeping, The Dream Bible contains transcendent harmonics that will release you, the sleeping listener, from the taloned grip of the insidious waking world. The world of industry, of technology, of man, of law; of God—all of which is to say, the world of incalculable heresy—will recoil in its pathetic weakness and bifurcate as it is torn in half revealing another world: the world of your true raw and unrelenting power. We’d like to tell you a story. It’s a true story. It’s set in the future. It goes like this:
It will come to pass, that you will hear knocking. On your door. At midnight. On the other side of the door, someone will stand wrapped in the cool indigo air repeating, “You are the lock. You are the key. You are the space in between.” The someone will be you, but chipped by darkness and altogether freer for it. This other you, dressed in rags with wide animal eyes, will knock, slow and stolidly until you answer, which you will do. As you open the door, you will feel a chill like an icy wind working its way between every cell that currently composes you. You will blink, and find that you stand at the threshold of your own door looking in, not out, and that nobody is there except for you, so you will step inside. You will hear your own voice as if over a loudspeaker, “You are now a sacred guest in your own home. You are now a sacred guest in your own life.” You will close your mouth. You will walk to your bedroom. You will go back to sleep. You will dream an unspeakable dream. When you awaken, you will feel like a stranger and you will find that you have been released. Unbound in the greatest sense. Like all things cosmic in nature and scale, this awakening will come at an unknown cost. In the night, in the darkness, and in the shadow of the infinite mystery, have faith and trust in the Covenant. We hold the answer.
Two mind-expanding epics that clock in at 17 minutes apiece and blend drone, ambient, shoegaze, and traditional Indian music. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2023
