All recorded sound is by the nature of its technological capture a form of detachment from its original source. In Nightscape, the music reflects and further engages with this idea, aspiring to create a listening space in which the listener not only recognizes familiar sound objects but can also perceive their ‘out of time-ness’ or temporal disjunction as a way of creating a new meaning  for them within the music. As the listener encounters the different voices of poets (Pilgrimage, Abandon all previous strategies…, Lost Future), old film dialogue (Signals), and lost family members (Lose Contact), the post-ambient-acousmatic-spoken-word soundscape explores new and imagined origins for these recordings. The voices in the album, along with the mix of chosen sampled instruments, creates an uncanny scattering of presences, each sound performs a role beyond that of playing notes or musical gestures. Rather than fixing the source of these voices and samples to exist within a single, original context, the music of Nightscape sets them up to re-possess a new and imagined origin, a haunting of the dream-like music—the perfect aural backdrop to an ontological night journey.
