Talking To Ghosts

This week on Talking to Ghosts we talk with Scott Kelly of Neurosis, Corrections House, and Mirrors Of Psychic Warfare! We chatted about starting Neurosis in the time of thrash metal, working on Mirrors For Psychic Warfare with Sanford Parker, and composing a soundtrack to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s 2016 production of “Hamlet.” Scott has many tour dates coming up with Neurosis, as well as a Mirrors For Psychic Warfare European Tour!

The play mentioned by Scott in this episode is called “Ruined” and was written by Lynn Nottage. It won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
