This is Pragmagick Episode features the full PROSPECTRE (Audiomancy) Ritual performed and documented on 3/23. This working is the “thridscene” (∴) for my living, multi-media grimoire, HAUNT MANUAL: http://hauntmanual.com

“This is PART 1 of an inner-episodic series concerning the Prospectre Ritual: its decoding of its paranormal transmissions and ritual results, interviews discussing its hypotheses (am I communicating with ultraterriestrials, pareidolia, Holy Guardian Angels or the SUPRA-SELF?) all connected to the multi-media grimoire, Haunt Manual. This is the third working (Spectre / Aspectre/ PROSPECTRE) that utilizes my audiomancy with a spirit box to commune with the “other”. Next episode I speak with Wren Collier about The ALW CIPHER & NAEQ.IO, a tool I used to decipher the Prospectre’s spirit box transmissions while punch-pondering about ultraterrestials, the confluence of the occult and ufology, personal folklore and more.”

ASPECTRE (Audiomancy From The Unrealized Film) by ECTOGASM

Through the sinew of 22-23, I created and casted “ASPECTRE” under the moniker ECTOGASM. The music was recorded and performed as a live-streamed audiomancy ritual for my Hauntomancy workings (as explored in my Haunt Manual). I decided to clean it up and create an unrealized film score; I named the tracks utilizing various cut-ups of my literary works and ideas. The album is on bandcamp and will have a major release on all streaming platforms next month.

“ASPECTRE”- Audiomancy From An Unrealized Film Score“ morphs my audiomancy and multimedia grimoire

I have been inspired to utilize these Dim Sessions to conjure audiomantic records by turning these improvised sets into the muscular skeletons of formal albums…

The audio is the last Haunt Manual chapter’s “DIM SESSION” in all its glory while its companion, the thirdscene, is constructed…

My closing audiomantic ritual (“Dim Session”) for the soon-to-be-released Haunt Manual chapter (and conclusion of “Sine Wave Serpents”) was performed this week. The mechanics of instrumentation (talismans) utilized for the improvised set, like all prior, are deeply intentional and correlate to the hauntological workings professed in the chapter’s innards. This is why all ritual scores for the Haunt Manual audio chapters have been so radically different. This one utilizes lo-fi cassette manipulation, an old casio keyboard and a live-programmed drum machine to match the human error integration with automaton spits and spurts of my own overarching developments.

This recent musical experiment reminded me of the want to create a channeled lo-fi electronic and film-score-centric project entitled ECTOGASM (I reserved the name and its bandcamp years ago- which further proves the hauntomancy made manifest by bridging synapses long forgotten!) I also have been inspired to utilize these Dim Sessions to conjure audiomantic records by turning these improvised sets into the muscular skeletons of formal albums, but more on that later…

Speaking of the Haunt Manual, my last chapter, Sine Wave Serpents Divisions I & II, have been compiled for the audio and visual companion. I created an enriching videomantic edit to accompany the audio chapter (which was wide released via the Pragmagick podcast). You can view/listen here:

I had the pleasure of guesting on brother-from-another-February-number Anthony Tyler’s wonderful fringe.fm broadcast, Black Hoodie Alchemy. I have spoken to Anthony via the  PRAGMAGICK audiocast as well as an appearance on the PRAGMAGICK liminalstream series in the past which you may find here:

∴ Anthony’s recent Pragmagick Liminalstream appearance:

I have grown very fond of Anthony’s rugged resolve considering all the self-spelunking and trans-dimensional wayfaring he surfs!

Also, Anthony wrote two extremely compelling books, one of which fellow WtH haunt, Adorner Millar, designed the book cover for which you can find at: DIVEMIND.net

I’ll let Anthony speak on the rest. Haunt on!

Yes, it’s gonna be a form of hungry-ghost-busting! Keats talks to us about his multi-media work that he’s entitled “Haunt Manual” discussing the aspects of our characters, our egos, our minds, and our lives that haunt us.

We talk quite a bit about both eastern and western esotericism, discussing ritual and ceremony in drug rehabilitation and other forms of therapy, the archetypes of hungry ghosts and demons and angels, and the alchemical pr

More to come. This was an improvised dance around a sonic motif and a set tempo – will be doing more of these as I’m figuring out mixing for liminalstreams moving forward. Thought I’d stream some goofing around with creating background music for an upcoming video project while I test things. HAUNT ON

I am haunted.

I find myself in a static stasis, reverberating in place. Like the Tower Card, it’s as if I’m always exploding foundations and rebuilding in a constant loop. I often compare myself to the Dharma Bum, a beat-ific idea of anarchic freedom, snickering at the rubble and ash beneath, never tied to what came before. But the thing is, I am haunted. I am haunted by extremes – whether it‘s being an aloof instigator of a creative community, or a dogma-less routine-driven magician. I have never given proper communion to this ghost, this tether to all things pragmatic and artistic, this innate contradiction within all that I do.

I would balk and run from memory, and find myself arrested as to where and how to move forward with nothing truly gained. In hindsight, it’s an old tale about doomed repetition. But I know this ghost simply yearns to be both, or something different altogether. How do I commune with this specter of self? How do I find the “third mind” of energetic revelation between the opposites I find myself forever wrestling. How do I, as a spontaneous creative, become a stable magician? Is it possible?

The past few months I caught a whiff of being in front of the oncoming Tower. I can see the revolutions of self before me, whether it be behaviors and actions, or environmental interactions. Where will I be next year? Will anything be resolved? Will I continue to churn and burn through habitual sabotage and struggle? Perhaps it is time to finally consort the elements that birthed my contradictory ghost.

My habitual process
