Croix's second sound montage release through Tachisme Records (Bocca di leone being the first) leans slightly closer to convention, focusing less on incidental sound and more on progressive electronica.

It is here, this metamorphic sojourn through the invention of time.

The first in a series of spoken word/ambient projects based on works dwelling in the public domain. This tale, written by the inimitable H.P. Lovecraft, swells bulbous with ancient mysteries and odd rituals in the sea town of Kingsport.
