Alex Murray (narrator) is the librarian and archivist at the Swedenborg Society in Holborn, a 200-year-old institution dedicated to promoting the thought and influence of the Swedish C18 scientist and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg.

This wide ranging talk, recorded at The Burning of the Clavie at @markandmarko in January 2025, summarises the philosophy and teachings of Swedenborg, his relevance to resonance, and introduces @sam.alexander.mcloughlin and David Chatton Barker’s @folklore_tapes performance of their electro-acoustic work ‘Heavenly Realms’, which was written and conceived after their residency at the Swedenborg Society.

Swedenborg’s most renowned work, Heaven and Hell (1758), synthesised years of dreams, trance states and ecstatic communications with angels into a complete vision of the afterlife and the spiritual realms. In it Swedenborg meticulously details a stratified order of the heavens, an ultimate reality within which physical matter relates to spirit through divine correspondences emanating from a highest, purest echelon, God.

The duo approach this vision of eternity through music created entirely with a collection of antique clock chimes and harmonics, and as Alex outlines in his talk, the music is a living embodiment of Swedenborg philosophy.
