Hi Folks
Another musical mailout for you! Doug Skinner's astounding 'Music
From Elsewhere' is published worldwide in a month – though you can buy
our hardback edition now, direct
from our web site.
The Journal of the Society for
Psychical Research writes:
"A very entertaining book which conveys an in-depth knowledge of what is
weird in music, written in a chatty informal way with several jokes along the
way...Hidden in some of the author’s humorous prose are some quite
profound statements."
The Wire magazine found it: "A romp through the Fortean, the
fokloric and the otherwise esoteric... it's a nice thought that this unsusal
jumble of music – united only by its otherness - should be stamped into
the historical record, there to be picked up and played anew."
As a prelude to its offical publication, we've made the 32-track, 48-minute
album of recordings, performed by Doug Skinner and recorded by Brian
Dewan, available to listen and purchse on our Bandcamp
page. Doug plays voice, piano, electronic keyboard, psaltery, sopranino
recorder, and chord zither. The tunes include pieces attributed to
fairies, banshees, trowies, trolls, aliens, spirits, and time slips, as well as
examples of musical ciphers, notations of natural sounds, occult music, and
music from dreams.
Please note that anyone who buys a copy of the book from our web site will also receive a link to a free download of the album.
So now you can listen to Banshee cries, faerie dances, Cornish Piskie music, music heard by UFO contactees, channellers, time travellers and more, from the comfort of your own archair...
