Scrying the Landscape XIV. The exquisitely mystifying 1981 film 𝘐𝘯 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘸 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘯 by Derek Jarman, sound tracked by Throbbing Gristle, offers a ritualistic journey into the English countryside. Inspired by the curious cinematography and sound of the avant-garde film, this episode of Scrying is our own iteration of its score in an attempt to capture similar narrative tools it uses to ascend into ancient worlds ever-present in the streets we all walk through: The slowing of frames skewing scenes of the (un)familiar landscape forsakes straight linearity and etches pathways to the mobility of experienced time. In the fragmentary nature of duration, consciousness shines through drawing out archetypal images of human existence in Jungian terms. For this, we reach out a sonic gesture to touch base with primaeval, inherited memories in a melting pot of pagan iconography and the mystery of the everyday.
