On July 28, 2017, I found myself in Lily Dale, NY, a center of Spiritualism, performing in an evening organized by Shannon Taggart. I performed what I called music attributed to ultraterrestrials, using a term favored by the late John Keel for non-human entities. My program included fairy music from England, Ireland, Wales, and Norway; the “trowie tunes” of the Shetland Islands in Scotland; the call of the banshee; the “outer space music” of Philip Rodgers; and channeled music by Rosemary Brown and Gustav Brabbée. I concluded with some of the tunes I’ve heard in dreams. Playing fairy music for Spiritualists! What next?
