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 vibrating strings and magnetic waveforms of unknown origin. They 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. Past, present and future meet! And mingle! And meander together in a continually unfolding cornucopia of consonant cacaphony! An audio offering of generous proportions, friends! But to complete the cycle, to infuse the process with meaning and mutually magnanimous munificence, YOU and YOUR EARS must be present! So, venture out of your places of dwelling, and come to Cheshmeh, and partake of Professor Bennett's effusive experimental epiphanies! Electro-Acoustical Mystery awaits!
