Howdy Haunts,
Back, fresh from the desert sun, and ready to begin.
This is not a ritual, but more of a technical experiment before an actual ritual is documented.
I felt a little impatient about ideas today. And a curse is doing too much with impatience, alas, I made some breakthroughs on my audiomancy/spiritbox communion experiments.
Sound:
I ran the spiritbox through a DI box into an outboard 4 channel mixer that also hosted my Rhode audio mic and my guitar amp mic on separate channels, allowing me more freedom to monitor and premix the signal going into OBS. Still some challenges here, but when it comes to my big auidomancy PROSPECTRE working with the Spiritbox, it will be along these lines albeit with more instrumentation.
Video:
I effected my OBS video to not only document the audio and video of the experimentation, but to cross some color boundaries in case it were to catch anything on a different spectrum. A bit half-assed but I believe there is something to this – although it is more of an aesthetic than an actual spectral eq. I care very little about capturing the “other” on film, and more about creating a ritualistic resonance within the medium to represent the ritual visually.
SpiritBox:
I need to review the tape, perhaps some of you would be inclined to as well. I did catch some revelations that I hope to advance more of next session. These revelations include the trance of communion with an instrument seemingly opened the reception more to the spiritbox, and dancing with the static seemed to unlock a ritualistic hum that if exemplified, could conjure more clear communion. I will attempt again soon.
Off to see a childhood favorite group tonight, UNWOUND, that hasn’t played in over 20 years. Definitely a hauntomancy subject worth writing about.
Haunt on,
Keats
