Employing an enigmatic and circuitous process of channeling magnetic sound recordings from bygone eras (as well as assorted other obscure sonorous implements) through a series of arcane and esoteric transformational devices, Professor Bennett (Celebrated Emeritus of Auditory Exploration and Related Endeavors) presents a most satisfying smorgasbord of swirling sonic surprise and serendipity. Ghost voices of the past, encoded within the tiny grooves of spinning black discs, are brought forth to mingle with the reverberant strains of tiny machines and magnetic waveforms of unknown origin, not to mention the intoning of the Professor's own voice. These elements all align in a repetitive cycle of unpredictable and unexpected connectivity, in which the hauntingly familiar meets the truly exotic, where sounds and words, mellifluous melodic motifs and fractured fragments of meaning collide and coexist in a hallucinatory realm of rarefied resonance.

The distinguished Dr Fisher will be exploring audio artifacts of the past as well, in his own unique fashion, coaxing the sounds of dusty old recordings from a hand-cranked gramophone device and blending them with the various and curious tonalities residing within his impressive collection of vintage sound synthesizers and such. On their special dual engagement, Messrs. Bennett and Fisher will entertain and elucidate you with their respective sonic endeavors, and rumor has it that they will also collaborate in a meeting of the musical minds, which promises to be an epic journey through the acoustical corners of the hitherto unknown.
