Why Witch House is the Best Genre You’ve Never Heard Of
When it comes to music, the range of genres shows just how intense and immersive the creation of sound and melody. Branching out further from the standard genres that populate music festivals, the radio, and Spotify’s charts, are a series of microgenres that create a niche cult following. One such microgenre is witch house music. But, what exactly is witch house music, and how is it gaining traction with fans?
What is Witch House?
As its name suggests, witch house music is a microgenre spawned from the expansive electronic genre that focuses on predominantly discordant chopped and screwed downtempo droning. The microgenre takes samples of Foley used in construction, industry, and the atmosphere to create ethereal and supernatural sounding melodies. Synthesizers, interesting instruments, and distorted vocals are also used in order to create music that breaks the boundaries of what music is traditionally known for. According to Vulture, witch house is able to convey a form of raw emotion that mainstream genres only touch upon – similar to the early 2000s popularity of nu-metal as a way for angsty teens to express themselves.
Who are the Players of Witch House?
Like most microgenres, certain artists emerge as the poster bands that allow new fans to learn their work and develop a cult following that attracts their audiences to the genre as a whole. Blvck Ceiling are a trendsetting band in the witch house genre, who use imagery related to the occult and soundscapes that make the listener think to eschew the experimental aspects of the microgenre. Their Gagaocean Max Beta remix features songs from Lady Gaga, whose songs are no stranger to Casino Online Canada settings, while their range of albums such as Ghost EP, Rogue, and Trap Magic evoke imagery of the occult. Moreover, Salem, aptly named for the Massachusetts witch trials, are also a pioneering band of the genre. Their song Trapdoor was even featured on 2012 Ryan Gosling flick The Place Beyond the Pines. As many witch house artists release remixes of other songs, identifying new bands in the genre can be done in a natural way, via discovering a new form of music built around an old favorite song. WIKAN lead the charge in the UK and have performed their brand of witch house music throughout Europe, hoping to extol its virtues on the masses. Though Talk Less Say More, with their form of ethereal ambience that samples David Lynch’s Twin Peaks shows us that there are degrees of just how supernatural the music can be in the genre.
How does Witch House Appeal to Fans?
But the artists of witch house go one step further in order to help bridge the gap for fans of other similar music genres. By using samples of other songs, and even from more obscure elements of the supernatural world that the genre connects with – from The Blair Witch Project, Charmed and Twin Peaks – witch house evokes feelings of the paranormal. But the genre also utilises back-masking of other songs, such as hip hop, rock, and rap. For example, threeam sample t.A.T.u’s All the Things She Said; Heretics remix Carly Rae Jepson’s Call Me Maybe, while Johny Tiger remixes Nirvana’s Heart-Shaped Box. Back-masking features playing a popular song backwards in order to subconsciously use the imagery it evokes while not having the listener actively aware of the connotations. The technique plays on the nostalgia factor and familiarity, which according to online casino Betway can help draw pathways in the brain to endear us to one thing we associate with something we know from the past. By connecting the music genre with facets of pop culture or even other music, fans can discover the genre and feel better connected to it.
The Imagery of Witch House
Another aspect of witch house that doesn’t necessarily correspond to other genres is the use of imagery in the band names and on the band’s artwork that gives a deeper and more immersive experience of listening to the music. Much in the same way The Beatles have fans who praise their clever album artwork, and pop stars such as Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande have scholars of their music videos, the artwork, band image, and band typography further utilizes the occult and supernatural vibes that witch house aims to evoke.
Witch house may not be a microgenre of music that would appeal to everyone – but, with its growing prevalence in certain spheres and its connection to other music and pop culture, the audience and fanbase are growing. The term witch house has existed for around 10 years already and, as the way in which music is consumed changes and evolves, more fans and potential fans are able to access the microgenre. While some of the darker themes of witch house won’t be played on the charts, the genre is definitely benefitting from the revival of the spooky soundscapes.

Witch House: The Ghostly Genre of The Music Industry
Clara Steemer
Witch house music is one of the most forgotten, but yet relevant micro genres in the world possibly the entire galaxy. The genre itself was not able to hold it’s own weight and make a breakthrough in the overcrowded music industry, but yet still has a influence in today’s music. Why and how is that even possible? The story behind this genre is very compelling and challenges everyone in music to really rethink what they may or may not understand about music and the artists themselves. There is a reason why a genre like this was even conjured in the first place. The reason will make you question everything.
Witch house emerged from the underground electronic music scene in Denver, Colorado in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s where DIY artists and producers started to gain popularity. The most notable producer and artist of this genre who is also known for coining the genre’s name is Travis “Pictureplane” Egedy who moved to Denver and became interested in experimental and noise music while attending college at Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design and was apart of a Hip Hop group called Thinking In Circles.

| Pictureplane posing for The Columbia Chronicle interview |
Pictureplane moved into a DIY artist’s space called Rhinoceropolis in 2006 where he created his music and began to make a name for himself in the Denver music scene and attract a following of his unique sound. In 2009, during a interview with Pitchfork magazine he was asked to describe the type of music he made and used the term “witch house” which unknown to Pitchfork magazine was just a joke made between his friends about house music and from there is the birth of witch house music genre. From there the sound and aesthetic of witch house music exploded social media platforms such as Myspace and Tumblr being one the biggest platforms where this genre was virtually being talked about gained popularity by many fans and DIY artists. It from there birthed hundreds of new witch house bands such as Crim3s, Purity Ring, Gvcci Hvcci and the genres most recognized faces such as oOoOO(pronounced “Oh”), Crystal Castles, White Ring, Salem, and Holy Other.
Witch house music sound started to be talked about among music journalists who worked for The Guardian and New York Times and was being echoed and whispered about it in the mainstream music industry when different rave parties at warehouses across the globe started to play this type of music and witch house musicians started to play at popular music festivals such as Lollapalozza, Austin City Limits, and Glastonbury.
The sound of Witch House was born out of DIY artists who rebelled against the natural rules of the music industry and experimented with sounds to almost challenge the way music was usually made. Artists and producers who now lived in a era where they had access to a recording studio through a computer or phone with Garageband, Fruity Loops, Reason, or early versions of Logic and ProTools without the time limit and expensive cost of a traditional recording studio really had creative control to make music however their hearts desired. Witch House instrumental orientation included synthesizer, drum machine, sampler, and sequencer. The sound is described as freedom, magical, menacing, dark, and beautiful with little to no lyrics heard in the songs or a very unrecognizable voice being played in the background of the song. It’s sound style originates from chopped and screwed which was popularized by Houston’s finest DJ Screw and genre influences such as drone, ethereal wave, industrial, noise, shoegaze, and a little trap.
Even though the genre clearly had a following and was gaining global popularity it was still met with a lot of criticism and heavy hesitation to embrace the emerging genre. Most people completely didn’t take it serious and treated it like a joke and it didn’t help that how the genre’s name was even coined as a running joke among friends to describe the type of music they were making. This really hurt the careers of a lot of serious Witch House artists and bands who also was not taken very serious as well. The hesitations of the genre came from the heavy-occult themes and images this genre makes which includes witchcraft, satanism, shamanism, violence, horror, and terror. A lot of the images that included in this genre is taken from supernatural tv shows such as Charmed and images of different celebrities. Pictureplane tried to explained to skeptical critics that most artists who make music like this are not really into occult things themselves and they were just artists who were having fun with their music. Of course it was still popular among the goth subculture especially when Michigan witch house band Salem arrived on the scene. Unfortunately for Salem they did not truly get to shine in this genre because out of nowhere fickle, small attention span fans moved on to a new wave of music called Seapunk and Witch house was officially history — atleast that’s what everyone thought.
Somewhere around 2012 witch house mainstream appeal was pretty much nonexistent and it can be blamed by many different factors such as the music itself does not translate well in live performance. Most witch house artists on stage look like a bunch of amateurs performing for open mic night. Another reason is it was easy to cause copyright infringement because of the lack of restraints and boundaries within the music genre for example, a lot of witch house artists were putting three crosses as symbols on their albums or used as symbols in their stage name, but calling themselves different stage names such as one band with three crosses was names Crosses and another band with three crosses in their name called themselves Ritualzzz it was way too confusing to tell the difference between bands.
However, this genre’s influence was survived through mainstream artists such Kayne West on his Yeezus album, Katy Perry’s smash hit “Dark Horse”, A$AP Rocky, Travis Scott, Charlie XCX, Danny Brown and a lot of hip hop artists have heavy witch house influences in their music.
In today’s music the most relevant and notable artist who’s clearly influenced by witch house music is none other than Billie Eilish herself. Her occult themed music and images is the biggest show of witch house that anyone has ever seen and honestly she is pioneer of this genre since the mainstream industry has very much embraced her. She also has been met with some criticism of her dark themed music and has justified it with the same response as all witch house artists in the past has done, but why hasn’t she embraced it herself? Instead of running from it and making light of it she should embrace it for what it is because she unknowingly brought witch house music back to life and gave it such a huge success, but yet won’t give this genre the credit it deserves. She prefers to describe her sound as “dark pop” which is skimming the surface of witch house music and playing it safe because of the kind of judgments that come with the genre; however, it is her personal choice to not claim it, but her or no other artists can never get away from the fact that this genre really did build their careers and brought new life to their sound.
 |
Over a decade later since the death of Witch House music this decade still haunts our existence even if we are aware of it or not. You may hear witch house music in songs as sound effects or background music, but it is definitely still just as relevant in popular music as it was ten years ago. So next time you listen to artists that was mentioned in this article or someone else pay closer attention and open your ears a little more you may hear traces of this ghostly genre. This is a genre that can’t be seen, but only felt and refused to be forgotten.

Seffi Starshine The Drone Ambient Queen
Seffi Starshine is a drone ambient, dark ambient, experimental female composer from Portland, Oregon. With a vaporwave aesthetic in her cover artworks.
She has created over the last years a lot of digital releases. All mainly in drone ambient soundscape genres. I decided highlight her trayectory here on my blog because is truly amazing the number of releases and the prolific creativity of this artist. For me her work is very inspired and extremely ethereal and spititual, dark and luminous atmospheres creating beautiful surrealistic sound explorations.
Some of the tracks have a splendid ghost ambient synthesizers, which transport me to oniric & spatial landscapes. Very recommended for drones and ambient fans.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #3177 - IOP - Italian Occult Psychedelia
This post has been in the works for some time.
Through reading essays by Stephen Prince in his collected editions from A Year in the Country, I learned about IOP, better known as Italian Occult Psychedelia, as I was exploring Hauntology, Hypnagogic Pop, Witchhouse, and Phantasmal music, which I have previously explored (links below).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_occult_psychedelia
Italian occult psychedelia
Italian occult psychedelia (IOP) is a subgenre of Italian psychedelic music[1] characterized by obscure atmospheres. Italian occult psychedelia was coined by journalist Antonio Ciarletta in an article published by Italian music magazine Blow Up,[2] in January 2012.[3][4] A festival called Thalassa[5][6] has occurred in Rome since 2013 to celebrate Italian occult psychedelia bands.[7][8]
Characteristics[edit]
The music form has emerged as a form of hauntology, an engine of reactivation of an Italian collective memory. The features of this shared past are related to the imagery of Italian genre films as cannibal movies, spaghetti westerns, Italian B horror movies and their soundtracks, and are related also to the violent, obscure and esoteric folklore so well outlined in the essays of Ernesto De Martino and in the documentaries of Luigi Di Gianni. "The darkness of human mind and the superstitions of old religions are leit-motifs that run through Giallo films and the music of IOP bands is hardly surprising: Italy is a country bound by belief and superstitions."[9] Other references are the stories and the characters of Federico Fellini and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Musically, Italian occult psychedelia is a cross of post-punk, psychedelic rock, Italian progressive rock, Italian library music and "Mediterranean vibes."[10] According to Rumore, also other influences that "goes from Krautrock to Italian B-movie soundtracks, from drones to analog electronics, from lysergic folk to free jazz."[11] According to Joseph Stannard, "It's equally clear that Italian occult psychedelia is far from sonically homogeneous."[12] Simon Reynolds identifies Italian occult psychedelia as an Italian counterpart to hauntology.[13] [14][15]

Sound Animal·Italian occult psychedelia has obscure atmospheres. 2012 was when the terminology arose. Thalassa Festival in Rome celebrates the genre. Hauntology reactivates Italian collective memory with cannibal movies, spaghetti westerns, Italian B horror movies and their soundtracks, esoteric dark folklore. Federico Fellini and Pier Paolo Pasolini are mascots. Post-punk, psychedelic rock, Italian prog rock, Italian library music and Mediterranean.

Why haven’t I done an Italian psychedelia show yet? It’s a good question, and one that I have no good answer for. Oversight? No, I’ve planned on doing an Italian Occult Psychedelia show for over a year now, with a guy named Honcho, but, you know how things go… Anyway, NOW is the time.
I’ve tried to fit three hours into a two hour show because there’s just so much great Italian psych. Sometime in the future I’ll do just a ’60s – 90’s show, and then a contemporary psych show. This one’s a taste of it all, but mostly contemporary.

A new, interesting scenario is surfacing in Italian underground music: a place where records are hard to find (you almost can’t buy nothing from record shops), people wear masks (well, sometimes), vinyl spin and feelings flow during intense live sets.
This is the so-called “Italian Occult Psychedelia”, and it’s a weird Shangri-La where Sun Ra, La Monte Young, Magma, Psychic TV, Embryo, Ornette Coleman, Krautrock, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Pauline Oliveros, Spacemen 3, Fela Kuti meet with middle eastern and Mediterranean vibes, mixed some of the glorious prog rock of the Italian 70s.
All the bands under this bizarre label have wide mental boundaries, spanning from Africa to Central Europe, well representing the various influences present in Italian culture, in a wider sense.
Music is hidden in a hazy shade, evocating magnetic symbols and forgotten pagan cults, while music moves in many directions, offering a different view on Italian music.
Look forward, listen forward.
Here’s a list of bands to watch out for:
Squadra Omega
link for Squadra Hydra
They say (and very loudly in capitals!) ‘SQUADRA OMEGA IS A PSYCH/AVANT/KRAUT ROCK COLLECTIVE WITH FORMER AND PRESENT MEMBERS OF THE MOJOMATICS, WITH LOVE AND BE MALEDETTO NOW! DEVOTED TO FREE IMPROVVISATION, PSYCHEDELIC JAMS AND MIND BLOW UPS. ——————————————————————————
SPACEAGE CUBIST – FREE – JAZZ CLASHES WITH PYGMY – PERCUSSIONS – NO WAVE – KRAUT ROCK CAUSING A SONIC FUSION LEADING TO A COMPLETE DERANGEMENT OF THE SENSES, AN ASSAULT ON THE FRONTAL LOBE AND PERMANENT HALLUCINATION. THIS IS MUSIC FROM THE THIRD EYE!’
We say ‘oozing tripped out and hypnotic drone rock..’
La Piramide di Sangue
Link for La Piramide di Sangue
we say ‘John Zorn jams with Swans. serious atmosphere and very mind bedding- love this’
In Zaire
we say ‘filthy guitar trips, like a meteorite cranked through high decibel wastage…’
Cannibal Movie
they say ‘Two long underground jams are the best recording of the duo. The first side takes you in a hypnotic journey to the afterlife, I like to think (even if only organ and percussion) in early Amon Düül, the darkest ambient of German Oak and surrounded by accumulated strain that doesn’t end explode, as the great recording of japanese Jacks. The other side begins more meditative and at times ethereal, until the percussion of Gaspare opens the path to a ceremony of a secret brotherhood with dissonant textures and hypnotic pulse”.
we say ‘when the weird getting going the genius soundtrack their madness…’
Eternal Zio
they say ‘experimental drone, free folk, psychedelic punk…’
we say ‘we totally agree with them!’
Mombu
we say ‘manic neo free jazz weirdness and genius skronk…’
Al Doum & The Faryds
we say ‘pure trips and atmospherics from band who understand the true nature of the psychedelic…’
How Much Wood Would A Woodchuck Chuck If A Woodchuck Could Chuck Wood
we say ‘clanging twanging dark melancholic guitars building to drone feedback climax- stunning…’

SOUND CLOUD MIX - ongapalooza-italian-occult-psychedelia-mixtape
Ongapalooza: 10 Years Of Boring Machines, an Italian festival specialising in all things occult and psychedelia, is to be held at the Dal Verme venue in Rome from March 31-April 2 and with the festival kicking off, we have a mixtape compiled by the head of Italian label Boring Machines, Onga, for you to listen to above.
Now in its fourth edition, the festival is organised by Thalassa, which, in keeping with the mythic nature of the festival, shares its name with a primordial Greek sea goddess. The festival honours the tenth birthday this year of Boring Machines, which was started in 2006 by Onga in Treviso.
Italian Occult Psychedelia is a subgenre of Italian psychedelic music fusing disparate art forms into one esoteric package. Artists such as Heroin in Tahiti combine references to film genres and Italian literature from authors such as Federico Fellini with krautrock, Italian library music and other musical styles. Journalist Antonio Ciarletta coined the term in an article published in in Italian music magazine Blow Up in January 2012.
The mixtape features music from some of the artists who will appear at this year’s festival taking in a wide breadth of music which showcases the restless creativity of the scene. The skronking ‘Alien Blues’ by Everest Magma segues smoothly into thunderstorm in a headset ‘A Pourpouse’ by the unholy Father Murphy. You can find out more information on the festival and get tickets here. You can find a full tracklist for the mixtape below.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
talking of dark things, Valerio Mattioli, who writes for LaRepubblica tells me that there is an Italian counterpart to hauntology that was recently covered as part of an article in Blow Up (sort of Italy's The Wire) on contemporary Italian occult psychedelia. The journalist Antonio Ciarletta, says Mattioli, enumerates its ingredients as: "local folklore, the popular spaghetti cinema of the 60s/70s (especially mondo movies, giallo, spaghetti westerns, cannibal movies etc), even Catholicism, and a typical 'Italian vibe' all around.... Many of the musicians openly mention composers such as Piero Umiliani, Ennio Morricone and basically the whole Italian soundtracks/library music school".
"To me," continues Mattioli, "what’s interesting in these bands, is that their kind of hauntology avoids the eerie and pastoral feeling of the English counterpart, as well as the pop-cheesy attitude of the American hypnagogic pop. On the contrary, their music is blatantly dark, esoteric and sometimes bloody, actually reflecting the 'sun & violence' culture which – despite the clichés – is a commonplace here. Of course, there’s the homage to a popular imagery which is deeply rooted here, and that somehow reflects the Italian identity better than your typical Venice postcard. But it’s also like saying that memories often can be nightmares, especially if you live in a country which is half Europe/half... well, Italy. Kind of Sergio Leone/Lucio Fulci induced nostalgia...
"When you go back with your memories to the contemporary Italian golden age – to say, the 60s of the Dolce Vita etc – you can’t escape the ghosts of that same era: terrorism, urban favelas, corruption and so on. Even the big masterpieces of the Italian literature, TV and cinema typically deal with such atmospheres - they're always bloody, violent, excessive. Somehow, the bands analyzed by Ciarletta are here to remind us that the Italian good old days (when future seemed possible) were a very depressed place, and that the present is filled with those ghosts.
"It also comes quite natural to understand this trend as a reflection of the current feelings among many Italians: we perceive our country as a declining glory with no future at all; and economic crisis, crime and political warfare create a sort of Late Empire atmosphere..."
Bands operating in this zone include Cannibal Movie, Donato Epiro, In Zaire, Orfanado, Spettro Family, Heroin In Tahiti [Mattioli's own band], and on the "more 'pagan-catholic folklore' tip", Mamuthones and Father Murphy . TheAwayTeam/Polysick are "a sort of modern Piero Umiliani" with projects lined up for 100% Silk, and Planet Mu. "Needless to say: all these artists form a sort of family, they’re all friends and do stuff together, they share projects and labels etc."
An example of what Mattioli dubs "Mondo-cannibals":
Mattioli calls this sub-category "spaghetti wastelands" (love it!)
This is an example of "Italian gothic":

A Definition of Hauntology – Its Recurring Themes and its Confluence and Intertwining with Otherly Folk: Wanderings 7/26
I’ve published various versions of loose definitions of hauntology online before and considerations of how it interconnects with otherly / wyrd folk culture but not for a while and thought it might be good to revisit such things via a revised version that draws from previous related posts, writing in the A Year In The Country books and the Folk Horror Revival: Urban Wyrd – 1. Spirits of Time book etc.
Although it is hard to precisely define what hauntology is, it has come to be used as a way of identifying particular strands of music and cultural tendencies. As a cultural category it is fluid and not strictly delineated, but below are some of the recurring themes and characteristics of hauntological work:
1. Music and culture that draws from and examines a sense of loss, yearning or nostalgia for a post-war utopian, progressive, modernist future that was never quite reached, which is often accompanied by a sense of lingering Cold War dread.
2. A tendency to see some kind of unsettledness and hidden layers of meaning in previous decades’ public information films, TV idents and young adult orientated British television drama programmes from the late 1960s until approximately the early 1980s which had surprisingly complex and/or dark themes and atmospheres, particularly considered their intended audience, and that includes the likes of The Owl Service (1969-1970), Children of the Stones (1977) and The Changes (1975).
3. Graphic design and a particular kind of more-often-than-not electronic, often analogue synthesiser-based and/or previous period-orientated music that references and reinterprets some forms of older culture and related artifacts, often focusing on the period from approximately the mid-1960s to 1979 (or at times the very early 1980s) (Footnote 1) and generally of British origin.
Such reference points include previous decades’ library music (i.e. music created for industry use in films, television, adverts etc. rather than for public sale); the electronic music innovations of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop; educational materials and book cover artwork including period school text books; Pelican non-fiction titles which tended to have a distinctive aesthetic that combined functionality and a sense of idealism; and the stark sometimes seemingly almost accidentally darkly-hued designs of the Penguin Modern Poets books of the 1960s and 70s, which often featured minimalist, heavily-posterised images of nature.
4. A reimagining and misremembering of the above, and other, sources to create forms of music and culture that seem familiar, comforting and also often unsettling and not a little eerie; work that is accompanied by a sense of being haunted by spectres of its, and our, cultural past, to loosely paraphrase philosopher Jacques Derrida who coined the phrase and created the original concept of hauntology. (Footnote 2)
5. The use and foregrounding of recording medium noise and imperfections, such as the crackle and hiss of vinyl, tape wobble and so on that calls attention to the decaying nature of older analogue mediums and which can be used to create a sense of time out of joint and edge memories of previous eras.
6. The drawing together and utilising of the above elements to conjure a sense of an often strange, parallel or imagined world, or “Midwichian” (Footnote 3) Britain.
Hauntology is often, but not exclusively, used to refer to British culture and music, and it is thought to have been first used in relation to this by the writers Marks Fisher and Simon Reynolds to describe a loose cultural grouping of music and attendant culture which began to coalesce in the UK around the early mid-2000s.
As a loose genre, hauntology has retained a fair degree of cultural and aesthetic diversity that takes in the eldritch educationalism of some Ghost Box Records’ releases, the playful psychedelic whimsy and break beats of Blank Workshop / Moon Wiring Club and the darkly humorous reinterpretations of period official warning posters of Scarfolk amongst others.
However, the term has also been used more widely to describe the likes of American hypnagogic pop and Italian Occult Psychedelia; musical subgenres which also reimagine and create spectral echoes of the past but which tend to utilise as their source material or inspiration, different areas and sometimes eras of culture.
A further recurring theme that at times occurs within and/or is interconnected with hauntology is what may initially appear to be a curious and disparate occurrence and which it may be helpful to add some background and explanation to; the ways in which in several areas of music and culture, folk music and rural and folkloric-orientated work, of the underground, acid, psych, wyrd (Footnote 4) and otherly variety, has come to share common ground with hauntological work, in particular synthesised electronica of a leftfield hauntological variety.
This is an area of culture where the use, appreciation and romance of often older electronic music technologies, reference points and inspirations segues and intertwines with the more bucolic wanderings and landscapes of exploratory, otherly pastoralism and folk culture. This has become a part of the cultural landscape, which in the words of author, artist, musician and curator Kristen Gallerneaux, is:
“planted permanently somewhere between the history of the first transistor, the paranormal, and nature-driven worlds of the folkloric…”
On the surface such folkloric and spectral electronic musical and cultural forms are very disparate and yet both have come to explore and share similar landscapes. What may be one of the underlying linking points with both otherly folk etc and hauntology, is a yearning for lost utopias. Thus, in more otherly folkloric-orientated culture this is possibly related to a yearning for lost Arcadian idylls, whilst in hauntological culture it may be connected to the previously mentioned yearning for lost progressive post-war futures that never fully came to fruition.
Both of these intertwined areas of music and culture have revered relics; for otherly folkloric work these may include those from that lost idyll which are spectrally imprinted with some form of loss, such as, in the words of Rob Young, “old buildings, texts, songs, etc, [which] are like talismans to be treasured, as a connective chain to the past.” (Quoted from Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain’s Visionary Music written by Rob Young, 2011.)
Hauntological talismans may also include items from those referred to above: TV idents from previous decades, public information films and television series from the late 1960s to late 1970s which have gained unsettledness and hidden layers of meaning with the passing of time – alongside the likes of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and Brutalist architecture – and which also are considered to contain spectral echoes in reference to the aforementioned lost progressive futures.
These two strands of otherly folkloric and hauntological work and culture may appear at first to be cultural cuckoos in the same nest and/or strange bedfellows. However, they have come to be seen as fellow travellers who rather than being divided by differing surface aesthetics are drawn together by a similarly exploratory and often visionary or utopian spirit, and which respectively shadow and inform one another’s journeys within an alternative cultural landscape.
Footnotes:
- This period of the mid-1960s to the later 1970s may be chosen as significant for hauntologically-related work for a number of reasons, such as during this time the optimism and, at times, utopian ideals of the immediate post-war years to the 1960s tipped over in Britain into a period of social, political, economic strife and conflict. The later 1970s, and 1979 in particular, when Margaret Thatcher’s right-leaning government was elected, is often considered to be a defining point when society began to move towards a more neoliberal, individualistic and monetarist stance, and so has come to be associated with the yearning for lost post-war progressive futures that are referred to above. Also this period is when many of those creating, or interested in, hauntological work were born, or had their formative years. As such, culture from this era from which hauntological work often draws, has a pre-existing resonance. Aside from its sometimes inherent oddness, such culture may also be seen as being imbued with an antediluvian quality – broadcasts, remnants or echoes from an “other” time and the abovementioned progressive lost futures. Sometimes in hauntological work the early 1980s will also be referenced, which may in part be due to this being a transitional or liminal time in relation to changes in society.
- Hauntology is a portmanteau or blending of the meanings of two words; “haunt” and “ontology”. Ontology is the philosophical study of “being”, which focuses on abstract questions such as whether there is such a thing as objective reality and what kinds of things or entities exist in the universe. Ontology is sometimes associated with foundationalist thinkers who believe that: “to arrive at truth it is necessary to start with the most fundamental issues – to be sure about the foundations of philosophy – and then work our way up from there to more specific questions.” (Quoted from the philosophyterms.com website.)
- “Midwichian” is used to imply a sense of a conventional, comfortable, sometimes bucolic places and society where something untoward, quietly unsettling and possibly unexplained has happened or lurks semi-hidden beneath the surface of things. It derives from John Wyndham’s book The Midwich Cuckoos (1957) and the subsequent film adaptation Village of the Damned (1960) in which a pleasant rural village existence is severely disrupted by a preternatural stealthy and surreptitious alien invasion.
- The word wyrd in this context and elsewhere in the book is used to imply variously an eldritch, uncanny, weird, eerie, unsettling etc sense of rural and folk orientated culture.

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death.
