“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’ emptiness 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.” — Excerpt from La Follia Dell’ Arte
