"It is not horror but fascination - albeit a fascination usually mixed with a certain trepidation - that is integral to Lovecraft's rendition of the weird," Mark Fisher

It is our fascination, suspended in a soundscape from beyond space, that is destined to be devoured by the Elder Gods who dwell here.

Is music the ideal medium for Lovecraftian otherness? Erich Zann is suggestive. Lovecraft's denials of describability followed by a marathon of details, only for them to arrive winded at the Ultima Thule of our perception, involves no internal contradiction. Ambient music, with its emergent events 'loosely' organised, like pieces of octopus, dragon and human, might best be placed to trace "the general outline" while not being "unfaithful to the spirit of the thing."

"As beautiful as the chance encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table" (Lautreamont), is the unexpected synergy between fragments of Debussy and Meredith Monk, among others.
