I found the presence

"This piece struck me because of the background drone of echoed speech and mechanical sounds with some melodic content (possibly an elevator chime, since looking into the site I found that the Hannover Rathaus has a well-known arched elevator that curves with the dome of the building). "I built the fundamentals of the piece around those notes and some audible German and English phrases, including the unlikely phrase that serves as the piece’s title. Somehow during the process, I got the notion that this was a Christmas ghost story; some of the wall of noise in the middle section is made up of a drowned spoken word piece, from a “cut-up” of the snippets of speech in the original field recording and phrases from my research into the location."Neues Rathaus, Hannover reimagined by John Savarese.
