Now available from Bottle Imp Productions: Bramble, "Emergence"
You wake from a fever dream suspended in darkness. Your arms, hands,
fingers are heavy. You feel the weight of your fingernails pulling you
down, down, down into the soft darkness echoing below you. You feel
the darkness fold around you; a shroud, a chrysalis, a womb,
whispering to you. It molds to your form, encapsulating you, covering
you, entering you. Its gentle caress hums to you comfortingly.
You open your eyes. You see strings of darkness vibrating in tune to
emptiness. A searchlight rotating from an unlocatable source catches
something in its beam. Floating before you, thin, light, softly
formed. With each passing of light you see more of its shape. You
identify the arc of its outline, the contours of its fold. You reach
for it. You stretch your arms before you and push against the
darkness, pulling yourself forward. And your fingertips graze it; soft
and smooth, satiny, firm and delicate. The soft fragrance of summer
courtyards slips past you. You grasp it and look around you. You stand
in an empty room. Car engines, slips of television and radio leak in
around you. You hold the wrinkled remains of a single rose petal in
your hands.
=93Emergence,=94 the third release by Bramble, is an audio escape. Soft
reverberations, gentle tones and atmospheric hums skillfully lull a
listener into a subtle, mental wandering which then slowly releases
them back into reality. They emerge into the light, blinking and
squinting from its relative magnitude.
