The Three Deaths of Red Spectre began, in very basic form, as a live-scored piece for the 1904 silent French film, 'The Red Spectre', about a demonic magician in his bizarre grotto. Composing following a narrative forced Raymond to move from the fairly standard folk song structure she was used to, to something following a classical structure, using movements. It has strongly influenced everything she has written since. The piece was recorded as a one take at weyrerTon studios.
The artwork was exclusively created for this release by
Austrian artist Horst Rainer (RIP) painted the front with his special technique of blending rust with oil colours and illustrator Karin Kaufmann hand-lettered the back and created a truly unique postcard look.
