Some haunting music for you

Alas for my digital recorder. I cannot find the bloody thing and so cannot regale you with one of my favorite jigs, "I Buried My Wife And Danced On Top of Her," which I thought would be perfectly appropriate for Hallowe'en. So instead I'll leave you with a performance from Emilie Autumn, who is not a harp player (thank heavens, because she'd probably be brilliant and then I'd have to roll over and give up), but who is nevertheless a wonderfully gifted and experimental artist. She does some rather nifty things with electric violin, and this piece is an example of that. It's an instrumental entitled "Face the Wall" and is haunting in every sense of the word.



Have a lovely Samhain, everyone!
