Sonic Hauntings in a Big House

‘Sonic Hauntings in a Big House’ emerged out of a practice-based PhD research project, Killruddery: Listening to the Archive (2019-23). In his debut album for Farpoint Recordings, sound artist Joseph Young summons the rich and complex histories of the Big House in Ireland through field recordings, voice(s) and retro-futuristic sonic layering. Through exploring the extensive family archive held at Bray’s Killruddery House & Gardens, Young devised both a geolocated soundscape in Killruddery’s grounds and this accompanying record, which further proposes a spectral glimpse of a lost past.
