Second Inversion 

Playing with Ghosts 

Saturday, November 1 | 9pm 

Host: Maggie Molloy 

Do you believe in ghosts? Lost spirits trapped in the creaking floorboards—or hiding in cobwebbed corners of the attic? Listen a little closer… This Saturday on Second Inversion, we’re playing with ghosts! From gritty, centuries-old cylinder recordings to the haunting spirits of an old orphanage in Venice, we’ll hear atmospheric music from another dimension. Plus, an instrument that seems to be tailormade for ghosts!
