An abandoned island. A playwright sits inside a lighthouse. The playwright transits into the island’s forms - rocks, shrubs, coastal waters, seabirds. The playwright becomes the island. “This is a record of synesthetic hauntology. Elements: a pirated poem off Youtube by P.B. Shelley (a setting for a pensive playwright scenario), a few samples from classical music (to emphasize the transformation), organic computer sounds created with the dearly missed Cool Edit Pro program, the laughter of a seabird, and the very vignette sound of the reel to reel tape machine.“ Lieven Martens, January 2024
