Feuilleton (John Coulthart) – Ectoplasm Forming (A mix for Halloween)
Presenting the eighth Halloween playlist, and this year I decided it was time to finally make a proper mix of my own. Reluctance in years past has been mainly a result of the time it takes me to put things like this together, hours spent pondering the order of the tracks, and fine-tuning transitions.
This yearโs mix is rather heavy on the drones and eldritch atmospherics with little in the way of songs. There are some rhythms, however. Iโve also taken the opportunity to highlight the ongoing excellence of Emptyset, some of whose recordings Iโve been helping design recently. Their Medium album involved installing a quantity of electronic equipment in an allegedly haunted building, a process similar to that undertaken by the unfortunate doctor in The Legend of Hell House, albeit with better results.
