Ambient Guitar: Meditations of the Threshold

Ambient Guitar: Meditations of the Threshold
An invitation to forget yesterday, and tomorrow, and embrace the uncomfortable, imperfect, impermanent nature of the now. Through layered, improvisational guitar soundscapes, post-shoegaze artist Blood Estate will incite the audience to become participants in ritual, and enter the permeable space that is the threshold. All sounds will be played and ritualized live.
In this empty space, we shall surrender, and look within, without judgement or fear - merely observing and allowing the uncomfortable to pass through the minds stream from subconscious to conscious.
Through different chapters of sound and space, we will slow down from the high octane pace of NYC, and see what artifacts of noise & static, are clouding our judgements, and blocking the natural source signal emanating from each and every one of us.
Bring: An eyemask or journal
A free Blood Estate CD will be offered to attendees
Artist: Blood Estate
Blood Estate is the audiovisual project of Brooklyn native Julius Doogan, emphasizing improvisational expression as a vehicle of truth, at the intersection of ambient, shoegaze, and slowcore, striving to build a more authentic, connected, world through ritualized song.
Julius Doogan first found depth through movement, as a parkour practitioner, traveling around the five boroughs, and hosting community based events at the age of thirteen, and creating a series of short films documenting movement in the changing city. Through Blood Estate, as a young adult, he helped pioneer the shoegaze & slowcore resurgence, releasing hundreds of intimate, atmospheric songs; inviting listeners to slow down, be soft, and be human, - garnering 15 million + streams along the way.
