Wow, spooky. Imagine if he had used victorian post mortem daguerreotypes...!

[machinemolle]

Thank you. I do have a few postmortem daguerrotypes (the Victorians were an odd people) somewhere in my hard drive, and may indeed do something with them and such others as I can find. Thanks for the idea.

[stormvixen]

You're welcome. I've favourited this, it's great, I love the title and the music, reminds me a bit of Elisabeth Frazer from the Cocteau Twins.

[machinemolle]

Ah, the Cocteaux! Longtime favorites. I just bought both volumes of their Violaine series.

I do not recall the name of the vocalist here, but she performed jazz something in the manner of the classical vocalese tradition -- by way of electronica -- although all of their recordings were acoustic.

Thanks. The music comes from a CD by the jazz group Quartett, which I believe was led by trombonist Julian Priester. Unfortunately, I have just "organized" my CD collection, and naturally cannot find a thing. I'll try to find out more. They were (I think) an acoustic group, so the recording was probably made using an echo device for the vocalist, and/or possible double-tracking.

I'll certainly check out your work.

Best wishes,

Bruce
