Biography
The Night Monitor (alias of musician/producer Neil Scrivin aka Phono Ghosts and Meatbing) creates haunted synthetic soundtracks inspired by vintage paranormal events.
His 2019 debut album This House Is Haunted, based on Guy Lyon Playfair's investigation into the famous Enfield poltergeist case, was initially released on The Dark Outside offshoot label Bibliotapes. 2020’s full-length follow-up Spacemen Mystery of the Terror Triangle took a bizarre wave of late '70s Welsh UFO encounters as its inspiration, and appeared on Scrivin’s own Fonolith imprint, alongside two instalments of Perception Report - an ongoing series of ‘borderland excursions into assorted strangeness.’
“The chill of early Human League … the creep factor of early Ghost Box." The Wire
“The Venn intersection where modern folklore, mass media and pseudoscience merge." Electronic Sound
“Atmospheric music concrète that Doctor Who fans will find deliciously reminiscent of Roger Limb” Fortean Times
“It's brilliant; like a soundtrack to one of those great paranormal paperbacks." Richard Littler (Scarfolk)
