Solo Piano - Chris Bright

Disquiet Junto # 0652 challenges us to tell a favorite tale through music and sound. My response tells one of the stories of the House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski. The title of the piece is taken from a line by the musician Poe, whose album "Haunted" is a companion to her brother's book.

The confident explorers pass through the mysterious door, and spend days carefully mapping the blank walls and floors and arches of the winding passages beyond. The House responds with unearthly growls and the scrape of extruding stone. Halls elongate. Doorways appear and disappear. Corners rearrange themselves into inexplicable intersections. Stairways yawn down into a darkness deeper than the center of the earth.

The stone grinding and other earthy samples were created by rubbing and scraping two slate coasters together, slowed down and layered.

You'll want to bring sturdy, reliable headphones as you explore the House of Leaves— but they won't help you find your way back out.

Recorded at NOSIGNAL Multimedia Lab, The Shambles, Chicago USA.

Imagine a temple,
where only white azaleas bloom—
a pure white haven.
