"Step into the ethereal soundscape of Mark Vernon's LP ""The Dramaturgy of Decay."" Reminiscent of early fears surrounding recording technology the album explores ghostly voices distorted and elusive. Vernon's sonic cinema mirrors the decay found in ruined films capturing the essence of disappearing places and voices. Amidst themes of death and environmental destruction the album maintains a delicate balance with humor and familiarity. Through snippets of reworked audio letters it unveils a soundscape of forgotten moments extracting life from the transient. ""The Dramaturgy of Decay"" is a beautifully haunting reflection on time through sound--an otherworldly musical experience for the present."
