“In relation to this soundwork, the extended overtones
created by the clashing frequencies of the ‘ghost chorus’
could indeed be read as faint glimmerings of a sublime
imperative. This imperative, brought into harmonic relief
by means of the intervallic ‘beatings’ of voice and ‘voices’,
admits the possibility of a transfiguration of the criminal
void by means of a deliberate intensification of those
glimmerings into an immaterial, abstract reality completely
removed from any form of social/political/temporal control.
It is almost as if by charging a terrifying, ‘physical’ empti-
ness with an implicative, narcissistic terror, the means
of negotiating the far greater terror of a ‘metaphysical’
infinity, i.e. non-existence, is manifested as a form of
rhapsodic contemplation aimed towards interiorising and
indeed occupying the void, leading ultimately, and of
course theoretically, to non-action.”
