bleep said:Saw Thomas Koner's video/drone piece "From the Outskirts of Nothing to the Suburbs of the Void" thing last night. Visually it was all haunted empty landscapes, surveillance cam stills, layered figures meshing in ghostly fashion. The audio was his standard droney layering contrast with children laughing periodically and a patch of sinister murmuring.

While watching it struck me that repetition is in itself spectral, as the loop invokes its ghost in the form of memory which is shifting and formless.
so what happened to hauntology, has it just part of the atmosphere now?
Do we have a definition as yet or is the spectral nature part of the spectral word?
On another point, if Look Around You is getting heaped on the hauntology pile then does the often ignored but fantastic Garth Mareneghi's darkplace qualify? its one of the most perfect period pieces ive seen, the detail on the poorness of the chromakeying etc. Its worth the price of the dvd for todd rivers 'One track lover' song in the broccoli episode.
Did anyone mention Rentaghost? If you grew up in the UK in the 70s there is indeed something a bit Haunto about those clips on youtube.
