Seemingly timeless voices echo, a music that bewitches and stops the very sense of time passing.

I found this cassette in an abandoned house very close to where I took the red thread photo. If there was to be a soundtrack to this project, I could see this slowed down version of 'Harry's Game' (1983) by Clannad, that I made, being part it. This is one of those songs that whenever I unexpectedly hear it, always sends me right back to the eternal now of my childhood. While ‘Harry’s Game’ itself does not appear on Macalla (1985), I love the cover by Jill Furmanovsky. Even how it is cropped here does not take away its mysterious power.
