‘Spooky action’: Transmission, composition and quantum entanglement

With recourse to commentarial remarks on the composition of Moévöt’s Voèkrèb I (1994), in this short article we draw on ‘nonlocal’ correlations in quantum physics in an attempt to speculatively account for a creative process Vordb Na R.iidr (previously Vordb Báthor Ecsed: 1991–94; Vordb Dréagvor Uèzréèvb: 1994–2012) calls ‘instinctization’. Engaging the same conceit as Xasthur’s ‘Telepathic with the Deceased’, from the eponymous 2004 album (Moribund Records), the composition of Voèkrèb I forcibly returns us to the otherworldly aspects of a mode of transmission Einstein famously dubbed, ‘spooky action at a distance’ (spukhafte Fernwirkung).
