The music/poetry & imaginings contained herein were directly inspired by this quote…
‘Spirit sounds are usually of a peculiar character; they have an intensity and a character of their own, and, notwithstanding their great variety, can hardly be mistaken, so that they are not easily confused with common noises, such as the creaking of wood, the crackling of fire, or the ticking of a clock; spirit raps are clear and sharp, sometimes soft and light…'
– Allan Kardec, The Medium’s Book (1861)
Reviews
'...just enough of an old, decaying scent of Victorian perfume to send you running. In fact, the music feels like an old theatre; it creaks and shudders as it enters the light and returns to the world it left behind.'

'The sounds contained within present a subtle, eerie atmosphere channeled through a delicate selection of hiss and crackle. '

'...a series of creaks, crackles and ticks drawn out with biomechanical rhythms for our appraisal. Anchor chains are cut and bows scrape against each other in a moonlit bay. Brass cogged difference engines strip oxidised gears. Parasitic organisms are hatched and scrabble at the walls of their red prison, the host animal oblivious.'

'The tape is basically a concept on terror, with special attention to the ghosts and sounds (often confused for annoying noises) that testify to their presence, such as the creaking of the wood or the ticking of a clock. Traces sinuous as a draft of wind coming through the window, only to saturate the room under a pall of intense cold and icy. The poltergeist are revealed by contacting the medium: the Ouija board begins to move his letters, levitating chairs, objects crashing against the walls, doors slam, feel frantic footsteps and eerie chimes, metal and industrial ( "This World"). A background drone-ritual, stuff suitable for seances, finally accompanies this scene horror as EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) noisy and subliminal will document later passage of deadly demonic spirits ("Echoes").
