We are honoured to welcome gifted sound artist Sarah Wreath to the series, who presents a stunning live recording of her performance at No Way Back earlier this year.

Held each May in Detroit, Return to the Source is Interdimensional Transmissions’ annual convergence - a five-day sequence of gatherings that merge ritual, community, and deep sonic exploration. 2025 marked the 30th anniversary of IT.

At its heart is No Way Back, a marathon celebration that stretches through the night and into daylight, flowing into Lot Mass and The Bunker to form more than thirty hours of continuous sound. Set within Tangent Gallery’s transformed halls, the event bridges the kinetic and the contemplative: the No Way Back Room pulses with raw energy and motion, while the Outer Space Room offers an immersive sanctuary for ambient and experimental performance. Each edition honors Detroit’s lineage of innovation while nurturing a living, evolving community - one devoted to listening, connection, and transcendence through sound. The immersive installations from Amber Gillen and the Infinite Dimensions crew reshaped the venue into something both familiar and otherworldly - a vessel for deep listening, shared energy, and collective transformation.

Within this atmosphere, Sarah Wreath continued to set the ritual space with a sonic voyage, guiding listeners through a slow, meditative current, unfolding with subtle movement and a pulse beneath stillness. Hypnotic tones, trance edges, and rhythmic drift gently carried the audience into motion. It was less a performance than a passage - a threshold between the tangible and the imagined, holding the space in quiet intensity before the long journey of the night ahead.
