The latest from Swiss-based ex-pat Rupert Lally is an aural tour around the locations of Stephen King novels, vivid recollections of fictionalised places he could never visit, but remembers fondly as if he had. As our sonic tour guide, Lally narrates with fragments of Carpenter’s horror synths and the uneasy ambience of Goblin’s ‘Suspiria’ score evoking dark buildings and impending doom. Opener ‘The Marsten House (Salem’s Lot, 1975)’ has the jittery suspense of Trent Reznor’s film work. ‘Where The Dark Speaks’ is a soundtrack that seeps into the cracks between the real and the remembered.
