Prehistoric Animals by Aux Luna

When I was clearing my parents' home following the death of my mother, I found a large cardboard box that seemed to have no connection with my family. Amongst innumerable ephemara concerning the supernatural (books, magazines and so on) was some obscure brand of cassette tape with the single word “Hannah” written on them. The cassettes had music on them but they were not pre-recorded. They contained long recordings of a single classical guitar and piano recorded rather badly in mono. So I decided to view the discovery of the tapes as serendipitous and have used them as the basis for the Aux Luna project. I hope they have retained some of their charm and certainly their odd provenance is part of their mystique for me.

This fourth album evokes a naive vision of a prehistoric age where stone age men and women fought off tyrannosaurs, where dinosaur documentaries were absorbed like oxygen and the Latin names of the Mesozoic Age animals were known to all.

Rummaging around in the loft of my parents’ house following the death of my mother, I came across of box of items which definitely had nothing to do with my family as far as I know. A home-recording of some guitar and piano noodling had “Hannah” written on the cassette in biro and it is these recordings that I have used as a spring board for the Aux Luna project.
