Description

The Shildam Hall Tapes is a novella that explores the mysterious journey of a song through time. The story follows its passage from one era to another, each time bringing disarray to those who hear it. The song's history is woven into four sections, mirroring the cycles of nature. From 1799 to 2004, the narrative unfolds in 52 chapters, each with a limited word count, echoing the passing of days and seasons. The novella is set against the backdrop of various cultural movements, including folk, psychedelic, and hauntological culture. Inspired by an imaginary film that first appeared on an album of the same name, this novella delves into themes of time, music, and the power of sound to shape our lives.
