Konstantin Raudive: Voices of the Dead cd tray

This is the tray of a cd of recordings by Konstantin Raudive, who made some of the first recordings of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena), which are allegedly disembodied voices unintentionally captured on recording equipment. Whether these are the voices of the dead, or aural pareidolia, is up for discussion. At any rate, all recorded sounds and images are documents of dead moments in time, tantalizingly present yet fundamentally absent.
