About the series
The Dark Alchemy Inner Circle collaborative podcasts are a 3 part series of collaborative audio collages featuring a seamless combination of music, sound, field recordings and spoken word contributed from artists within the Dark Alchemy circle and woven together by Marcus Dyer aka Theskyisthinaspaperhere
Episode 1 sonically presented the initial disorientation and visceral feelings evoked by lockdown, in an attempt to comfort without sugar-coating. Episode 2 moved the narrative forward, taking as its starting point the way that nature began to reclaim locked-down cities, newly empty of humans. It presented an experience of the uncannily pastoral, an eerie and dystopain dark-folk, a solitary experience of wildness.
To complete the triptych, episode 3 takes in the wider, historical context of the pandemic, when prayerful chants echoed and bells rang out until both fell silent. When superstition ran free, and fear and grief haunted the land. Human fragility and tenderness entwine, inviting the listener to take individual comfort and solace in the emotive power of sound and music.
