Dilloway, Aaron

***Psychic Sounds now offers a proper vinyl release of the raw, unfiltered document 'Bhoot Ghar: Sounds of the Kathmandu Horror House', compiled field recordings by Aaron Dilloway. Previous explorations into Nepal have fruited wild & wonderful collections such as 'Sounds of Nepal' featuring field recordings & a regional folk pop songs comp from found cassettes, 'Radio Nepal' transmission snippets dubbed directly from Nepalese radio, and the epic two hour hypnotic alleyway trance 'Sounds of the Indian Snake Charmer' by the Nath Family. This research further fueled subsequent solo works of essential carved noise relics 'Rotting Nepal' & 'Beggar Master'.

Bhoot Ghar, or Ghost House in Hindi, apparated into Dilloway’s ongoing narrative revealing crude, rusted animatronics & ghoulish mannequins triggered by sensors releasing bursts of mechanical clanking & electric humming creating chaotic collisions of questionable in-house rigs likened to Survival Research Laboratories. Listeners become the ghost-on-wall witnessing confused, sometimes disturbed, patrons trying to find an exit which all contributes to a disorienting, psychedelic atmosphere. The layered distorted, crackling audio soundtrack sewn from various ancient theme parks, cut-up "ghost host" narration, Indian horror tv show music, heavily effected vocals & eerie samples all get funneled through the "busted sound system" further adding to the surreal, unnerving experience.
