Through a Door

And now for something completely . . . spooky.

If you recognize the producer’s name, it’s no coincidence: we podcasted her piece “Pay No Attention To That Man Behind The Curtain” five months ago. (Almost to the day, actually. This wasn’t intentional, but heck, they’re both great pieces.)

The piece is called Through a Door and it’s by producer Sarah Boothroyd, with New Adventures in Sound Art.
