There is a special quality to sound at night. Absent light, our ears become our unreliable eyes trying to construct a rational world from the sounds of creaky floorboards or distant voices carried on the wind into our dark rooms. It’s a world made askew; more enigmatic, more threatening, and sometimes more profound and even spiritual. Night vision imagines music inspired by this mysterious transmutation of senses.
