The Stone Tape – Analysing A Ghost By Electronic Means

The Stone Tape – Analysing A Ghost By Electronic Means

Christmas Day 2022 marked 50 years since the original broadcast of the ground-breaking BBC supernatural thriller, ‘The Stone Tape’, written by Nigel Kneale. 

In early 2023 Hidden Britain commissioned a group of UK based musicians to produce a new piece of work inspired by this extraordinary 1972 TV film. 

The result is a 16 track tape compilation which blends reimagined theme tunes and Radiophonic incidental motifs with dark ambience and hauntological synth explorations.

The artists involved in this release come from some of the finest electronic and experimental labels currently operating in the UK, such as Wayside & Woodland, Clay Pipe, Castles in Space & Spun Out Of Control.
