Howdy haunts!
I’d like to share my first successful attempt at an audiomancy dim session with the spirit box. I chose not to stream it because I felt it was interfering with my focus the last go around. So many things learned from the test session – namely that of an orderly ritual space, focusing on only 3 audiomantic talismans (vox, drums, guitar) and successfully captured the session on video (shown above) as well as cassette tape AND HQ audio.
In the beginning, I prepare the ritual by playing a cassette of me asking questions to the box – a small preview od a bigger working about past selves communing with a present spirit box feed. After the tape’s questions ended I set the cassette recorder to capture the room. It is well known, to me, that capturing the room on magnetic tape will illocot even more fantastic animisms not heard on either the video or audio recordings…
The next bit of business is the fun part – I’ve already started mixing and mastering the HQ audio – which has proven to be quite the rough & tumble considering the room needed to hear the spirit box’s messages atop my performance. I also aim to digitize the cassette tape and mix in where possible – I also think 4 versions of the audio (1. spirit box + audiomancy, 2. straight spirit box and cassette feed 3/4. spirit box & audiomancy only) will give me further ability to decipher the spirit box & room messages. Finally, I plan to sync the HQ audio with the video and release it via youtube.
Lots more to do. Tell me qhat you hear, I’m already picking up the visitors’ yelps and caws.
Haunt on,
