Releasenotes:
Paul Jebanasam presents a live concert recorded in May this year at the first
Subtext event held at the Church of St John the Baptist, a 14th-century church
in Bristol's Old City wall.
This 25 minute work explores the various aspects of Jebanasam's unique aural
vision by drowning an ancient sacred space in walls of fused textural sound and
traditional instrumentation, creating a world that is at once both brutal and
fragile. Employing a diverse assemblage of instruments from the baroque viol to
guitar amplifiers to custom convolution and granular programs, he conjures up a
haunting landscape of some unknown geology - a vast terrain where cavernous
drones and deadly winds threaten the delicate ceremonial purpose of the music's
mechanised rituals.
Dense layers of treated guitars and sculpted noise coalesce as if driven by some
inexorable natural process only to be reduced down to the sound of a solitary
semantron before a primordial raga for viola calls out the piece's elegiac coda
for strings. As a brief introductory glimpse into the work of this outlying
composer, Music for the Church of St John the Baptist reveals with a gradual
intensity, a brooding force concerned as much with primitive liturgical
structures as it is with the infinitely complex networks of digital signal
processing.
