Culled from rarified phonographic pressings from 1877-1988, source materials are drawn from an endless variety of musical forms and sound phenomena. There are recordings of actual childbirths, shamanic rituals, and an Elvis Presley séance; tales of Netsilingmiut Inuit and past-life regressions; performers such as a handless organist, or The Korean Deaf Percussion Orchestra; even one-off acetate heirlooms of a bat mitzvah or wedding ceremony, among others. For many, this is the last surviving chance for these overlooked, scarce, prohibitively expensive, or truly priceless recordings to be experienced before they are lost or forgotten. Sounds are carefully extracted and reconsidered, then orchestrated into a fantastically complex yet coherent listening experience with its own ecosystem. As the work unfolds, waves of acousmatic sounds from around the world immerse the listener in a sea of stories told through recombinant effect, voice as presence, sonic metaphor, and archetypal symbolism.
