Light Reflects by Casper Thomson

I wrote and recorded this album in a haunted barn; one of christchurch's oldest buildings, the triple bricked box stood humble behind a dense layer of shrubbery just off the street. Built in 1886 as the barn for the first estate in Opawa and then converted into a house in the 20's, this was a place with much to hide and much to tell.

My Bedroom was on the upper floor and was also the largest room in the house, which made it perfect to record in. the windows were all well above head height which gave one the feeling of complete isolation when the door was closed.
there was a strange attic room that was like a hallway that went all the way around the outside of the upper floor, and all of the bedrooms except mine had a small door that would lead to it.

At night time if the attic light was on, shafts of light would illuminate the dust in my room, the light coming through the pinholes in the M.D.F board that stood between me and the cold of the attic.

Casper Thomson is a Lo-Fi and Experimental Folk artist. His use of unconventional percussion techniques along with harsh dynamics pierce through his enthralling soundscapes of hope, dissonance and loss. Casper’s sound remains firmly grounded within the streets of Christchurch, while also feeling right at home beneath it’s cloudy skies and barren hills.
