Boogie Woogies

Canalport Riverwalk (Boogie Woogie #1)

Second boogie woogie. Recorded in February 2022 following a thaw and a flash freeze. All sounds from ice, snow, and wind, accompanied by the artist's body.

Icewalk (Boogie Woogie #2)

The first efforts of a larger project. Soundscapes and paranormal ephemera. Objects and field recording by me. Voices of mediums and spirits sourced from "Occult Voices – Paranormal Music, Recordings of Unseen Intelligences 1905-2007" (Supposé, 2007). And lots of tape hiss.

Ghost Box

Third (released) boogie woogie. Recorded in February 2024 among a bed of fallen seed pods in Graceland Cemetery.

Lope Day (Boogie Woogie #3)

Presented for the Autumnal Equinox! Experimenting using a mixer for the first time (it's real rough, be gentle lol). Early sketches for a larger project (that won't sound much like this) based on Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural. Sources: VHS rip of Lemora dubbed to cassette and a field recording made on the Autumnal Equinox, September 22, 2024, in Graceland Cemetery. Special thanks to the coyote and Inez, who watched me stand in the rain for 20 minutes.
