about

Y’all gather 'round the fire for an initiation into the southern gothic soundscapes and dark ambience of Eldritch Alabama’s Moonlit Pastorals.

Moonlit Pastorals features immersive binaural field recordings from under the Hunter’s Moon. Prepare for a moonlit expedition through darkest Alabama where you will experience things stir in the woods around you.

Bonus items include 2 videos from the field recording session and 2 digital collectible cards featuring an eldritch ballad and photography from the field recording session.

The creation of Moonlit Pastorals included 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.

Eldritch Alabama is inspired by Alabama ghost stories, southern gothic legends, and weird fiction.

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”.
