about

EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) describes the deliberate or inadvertent capturing of the voices of ghosts on electronic media such as tape recorders, video or radio. Around the world many thousands of people participate in projects to investigate spectral presences in haunted spaces by recording and then painstakingly analysing recordings. Whether this is a real phenomenon or an example of mental pattern recognition—finding structures in random data, like an aural Rorschach Test—is a matter of opinion. In this work a collage is generated from a number of EVP recordings.

The performers emulate the sounds with extended techniques on their instruments with the aid of a scrolling score that shows relative the pitch, duration and dynamics of the EVP samples in real-time. For reasons that are not entirely clear to me is my the third recent work, following Ghosts of Departed Quantities (2010) and The Talking Board (2011), to explore the supernatural.
