"Paul Wheeler's original recording of the Beam Engine evoked a haunting sound of the steam-powered mechanics in an abandoned subway or perhaps a disused tube station on the London underground."Frozen in time, and haunted by the sounds and reflections of the past.Mechanical remains still try to function in a lost existence, where they are no longer seen or heard."A theme which I find moving and provocative as a metaphor for elements of modern society, where echo chambers scream relevance, but do not exist in the physical world - and where people can exist and cease to exist in a void of invisibility.I love films like Death Line and Quatermass And The Pit, and I am firmly stuck in the past."Markfield beam engine reimagined by Dave Andrews / Zegazoid.
