The Brvtalist is pleased to present a new compilation on Berlin's Instruments of Discipline. Spes Aeterna is a powerful release that compiles seven sonic representations of the video art of Diane Drubay. The French-born, Berlin-based video artist investigates the psychoactive and transcendental experience, expanding the idea of sublime with images of Nature. Skin Of Their Light represents a thin, illuminated border - between two worlds that is both hypnotic and unsettling.
Spes Aeterna brings together artists from the United States, Australia and Sweden to both collaborate and interpret Drubay's mystifying works. These are deep, droning experimental compositions that transport the listener into a blissful, otherworldly realm . The compilation should be listened to facing the video pieces to dive into an introspective state and reach higher consciousness. A beautiful alchemy of color, texture, sound and image makes for one of the most unique and stimulating releases of the year.
To coincide with the release on May 5th, Instruments of Discipline will present a free, outdoor live event at the Urban Spree Beergarten featuring a 45min video art screening by Diane Drubay and live performances by Zanias and Halv Drøm. This show is powered by Mobile Kino.
Following this event, inside Urban Spree, guests are fortunate enough to witness the Berlin debut of Australia's Armour Group and Military Position. The Brvtalist has been an avid follower of these Trapdoor Tapes conspirators and we are thrilled to see them playing in Europe. Supported by Iron Sight and Age Eternal, this is not one to miss.
This magnificent work is out May 5th on vinyl and digital on Instruments of Discipline.
