about

Eldritch Alabama presents Dirge of the Verdant Grave, an immersive southern gothic soundscape experience in spatial audio.

Recite the haunting elegy
Dirge of the Verdant Grave
Exhume what has been forgotten
Only madness will save

Inspired by dark ambient and doom, Dirge of the Verdant Grave explores folk horror and southern gothic atmospheres with immersive binaural field recordings, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and synth sound design.

Dirge of the Verdant Grave also includes a cacophony of sounds from a hand-built replica of the infamous Apprehension Engine. Called "the most terrifying musical instrument of all time" by Brian Eno, the Apprehension Engine was commissioned and used by film composer Mark Korven for The Witch and The Lighthouse scores. It is also found in the studio of Trent Reznor.

Even H.P. Lovecraft was inspired by the State of Alabama. In his commonplace book (a listing of story ideas and concepts) entry 111, written in 1923, reads "Ancient ruin in Alabama swamp—voodoo.” Lovecraft also visited Alabama in June of 1932 as mentioned in a letter he wrote from New Orleans - “from here I shall go to ancient Mobile, Alabama”.

Star Lore
by Aindulmedir

supported by 4 fans who also own “Dirge of the Verdant Grave”

2024 is starting slow for me: after some catching up, I mainly listened to ambient for the majority of this January. Star Lore is a great addition and discovery, once again being brought to my attention by Ernie Fleetenkieker. Even after having found a favourite track, this album ov enchanting, slightly bemused, wintery ambience is best enjoyed as whole. A great addition to your collection and formidable soundtrack for a secluded stroll through the snowfall. Enchanting from start to finish! David Fischer

In the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2020

Absolutely fantastic solo track of quiet reflection, distant mystery, and ongoing inspiration. I want to call it short and sweet, but I guess 15 minutes is more than adequate for most! nanashinoprofile
