That\u2019s why it takes someone who understands the silence of these large, empty spaces to make them speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">This is where James O\u2019Callaghan comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">He walked, unperturbed, to his laptop, which was centered in the room, and gazed down at the screen with the eyes of a falcon.

The wind picked up and sounds accumulated, scattering across the dome of speakers. A clatter of knives, a far-distant cricket, and creaking doors set the scene for a disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\">O\u2019Callaghan caught our imaginations in his talons and swept us away. In one instant we were drowned in glitchy breaks that moved violently around the room; in the next, we bathed in the rich harmonies of noisy sawtooth pads reminiscent of witch house. But we always came back to the eerie narrative of a soundscape buried deep in the forest. When finally our mind\u2019s eye could make out a path, his hypnotizing voice began guiding us back through this maze of obscure mysteries, back to the wind, and to that distant cricket. He left us as we had been found: sitting in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"panm-ads-wrapper alignfull\"><span class=\"panm-ads-copy\">Publicit\u00e9 panam<\/span><div class=\"panm-ads-render\" data-ads-id=\"147065\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is something oddly unique about a gathering of people sitting on the floor in the middle of a pitch-black room.
