[label info] geraeuschmanufaktur.bandcamp.com "Earlier in 2014 actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman died of an heroin overdose and everybody was sad that in this day and age somebody so talented uses this drug that is essentially an all round destroyer. A few days later many of those people in mourning - assuming they still were; in facebook land everything is rather quickly forgotten - they celebrated the 100th birthday of William Burroughs, himself no stranger to the same drug, and everybody was cheering him for doing much of the stuff he did on drugs. Odd world, I mused. This particular release deals with a grim period of Burroughs life; in 1951 he accidently shot his wife during 'a heavily intoxicated game of William Tell Routine', as Esposito puts it on the cover. Hauswolff went to the apartment in 2011 to record the hallway, outside the apartment, for the presence of any evil spirits (as they might have had a hand in the events) and Esposito examined these recordings for any EVPs, electronic voice phenomena, which he says are present in these recordings, but which might not something you can actually hear. The roughly five minute piece here on this flexi disc (complete with lots of information on Burroughs and his EVP research) is a haunting one. It could be from 'just' a hallway, but the whole thing has a spooky atmosphere, with chilling sounds dropping in and out of it (avoiding the word 'mix' here of course as I very much like to believe nothing has been altered here). Perfect horror music for those who believe in such matters. It was indeed the unexplained presence of something like that culminating in this tragedy in 1951." [FdW/Vital Weekly]
