Sidhe Folk by Boggart's Field

Low Fantasy maverick, author and musician, Justin Mank, is best known for the charming modal micro-ruminations of his central project Ranseur. In 2016, Mank risked all manner of elf-shot mischief to embark on a series of trances and meditations attempting to shift his perception just enough for a glimpse into the lands of the fair folk, the boggarts, the sidhe, the brownies, the bugbears, the pixies, the hobgoblins, and other such hidden creatures. Taking a cue from the fanciful adventures of Robin Crutchfield, Mank used simple musical instruments and recording devices to capture impressions of these experiences as they occurred. The resulting audio documents are alluring circular vignettes not unlike the exploratory harmonium improvisations of G.I. Gurdjieff or Terry Riley's "Persian Surgery Dervishes", if such a work could be scaled down to impish proportions and hidden behind a shimmering veil of hiss.
