K-Punk replied to my e-mail! This is really exciting. For those of you who aren’t hip to the hauntology scene, Mark Fisher, a.k.a K-Punk, is one of the primary writers/bloggers on hauntology and sonic hauntology. He’s written a lot of analysis on hauntological artists and is overall pretty badass. I’m addicted to his blog.
Anyway, I e-mailed him with some questions regarding my current hauntology research, and he wrote back! And some of the things he had to say were really intriguing. Perhaps withthin the next week I will post the e-mail interview here.
