about

Widely recognised as the first surrealist film, The Seashell and the Clergyman (1928) is a complex, controversial and multi-layered film directed by Germaine Dulac, from an original scenario by Antonin Artaud.

The BBFC famously banned the film stating "If there is a meaning, it is doubtless objectionable".

The BFI included The Seashell and the Clergyman on a list of 10 Great Feminist Films, describing it as "a visually imaginative critique of patriarchy – state and church – and of male sexuality."

---------------

Recorded at their Beehive Works studio in Sheffield, In The Nursery’s new score sonically reinterprets the inherent symbolism of the film, utilising sound design and experimental recording approaches - the latter including the placement of sensitive omni-directional electret microphones inside a pair of seashells.

---------------

Purchase of the album includes a bonus track - a continuous mix of the complete score for The Seashell and the Clergyman.

Magick is, in fact, real. There are things worth caring about. There are those who survive despite the odds and the obstacles. And the reasonable, rational rules break down if you care to notice. The music can show you how. paulrichardbishop
